Mate that is a really poor show. These are the best two American fighters in the world, fighting on the best American network and a Filipino and a Peurto Rican did a bigger PPV buy IN AMERICA than they did.
It really puts into stark contrast how unpopular a draw Shane Mosley was, and that Floyd needs a dancing partner to make big money.
To put it into perspective Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir 2 took 1.5 million Buys.

Mayweather isnt a big a draw as he thinks. He is a slick/highly skilled boxer with NO killer instinct which translates to a wide (boring) unanimous decision. Purists can enjoy a good boxing clinic but most people and especially casual fans want knockouts. Personally I would rather watch Pacquaio fight than Mayweather and I am an American.
