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.
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
Marquez is obviously the bigger name than clottey even to casual fans with his numerous wars with established names. (which he also dominated btw. except the pac and pbf fights)
