You cannot compare both fights as Clottey does not have the same popularity as either Mayweather or Mosley. Obviously the Mayweather-Mosley fight will make more money. Now if it was the other way around like Pac-Mosley vs Mayweather - Clottey then the Pac - Mosley would make more money.
Like everyone else I'm desperate for this fight to happen! But one of the two needs to back down and it will probably be Manny, I honestly believe PBF is too scared of losing his '0' to back down on his demands.
The more I think about it the more I believe this has all been hyped up from the offset. Call it wishful thinking but I reckon that day in Santa Monica when all the promoters met before that judge they decided to postpone the fight in order to build anticipation.
Clottey and Mosely are by no means a 'gimme' for Pac or Floyd but the demand for them to fight eachother will be even higher after Floyd beats Mosley.
That is the $50 million dollar question.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
but you can compare Mayweather/Marquez to Pacquiao/Clottey, neither Marquez nor Clottey are "big names" to the average viewer, so if you compare PPV buys from the last four fights Mayweather vs Marquez/Mosley and Pacquiao vs Cotto/Clottey, it's pretty obvious that Mayweather is the bigger draw
Floyd do not need to drop his blood drug test demand. All he has to do is just agree to the 24 days before the fight that was requested by Manny (it can even go down to 20 days which i believe was when Manny had his blood test in the Clottey fight).
It's a given that that Mayweather-Mosley will outsell the Pacquiao-Clottey fight in terms of PPV buys. But the stadium attendance in Pacquiao's fight does not seem to indicate that Manny's reputation has been severely affected.
Hypertheticly, lets say Floyd beats Mosley and theres talk of Pac-Maywether again, Maywether will no doubt, and quite fairly in my opinion expect the same drug testing conditions as he demanded before
He asked the same vs Mosley so I don't see why that would change.
Do you think Money will have to drop this Drug test situation he wants though?
How about Manny dropping the $10,000,000 fine per extra pound for Floyd and no more 50/50 (if May 1st fight has more demand) and Floyd drops the blood tests for Manny.
i doubt that Manny will have any choice but to agree to the blood tests
I hope so. That would shut mouths of those who have pointed fingers at him for using steroids, PEDs, etc. OR he would be caught being a cheat. I think it would be great if that was a requirement now. Better to play it safe for everybody, don't you think? I don't see anything wrong in taking measures to make the sport cleaner.

No, it means ticket prices were ACCESIBLE to the general public and not Vegas-priced.
