Mayweather still the man in boxing

[Burner]

Mayweather is the man untill somebody beats him.

[Pullcounter]

Manny Pacquaio is making @ least $164 000 for every shot he landed on Hatton or
$2 000 000 for every minute he was in the ring fighting now thats some good money.

Having said that Floyd is still the man.Hatton-Pacquaio did not sell as fast as Hatton-Mayweather which was sold out within 33 minutes.
Mayweather -Hatton got more more than $10 million,Hatton-Pacquaio did $8million in gate takings.That means many people were willing to pay more to watch Mayweather fighting with Hatton than Hatton with Pacquiao.
Mayweather-Hatton did 850 000 buys in the US,generating $47m in the USA,but did 1 million buys in the UK as well.The fugures for Manny-Hatton will be out soon.
Pacquaio-Oscar generated 1.25 million PPV.Mayweather-Oscar did 2.4 million buys.
Pacquia-Oscar generated $70 million ppvs and the Oscar-Mayweather fight did $134.5 million in sales.

Pacquiao-Oscar's gate takings did $17m,Oscar- Mayweather did $18.5m.Many people paid a premium to watch Mayweather than Pacquiao.What it means is the Mayweather brand is a premium brand,many people happily folk out more money to watch the Money Mayweather than anyone else in boxing.

Mayweather shuttered the record with Oscar,was the first 24/7 show which is an award winning show.Soon the 24/7 will be a standard for every big fight.In all these ,every fighter who has fought Mayweather made more money than he had ever made in his life.Even Carlos Baldomir generated over 400k in PPVs,and Baldomir made his first $1m cheque.Baldomir sent his kids to a different school after the Mayweather fight and took his family out to a meal after the Mayweather fight.Though trivial it might interest some to know that Baldomir knew about the ipod because of Mayweather and subsequently got his own after the fight

Oscar Delahoya made more money fighting Mayweather than he did fighting Pacquiao.He also made more with Mayweather than with Hopkins which was a higher risk fight.Manny's stock has gone up now,with good marketing he stands to make a lot more outside the ring.Floyd has been doing some bits outside the ring but his team is obviously not as smart as Floyd thinks it is.The guy could be making sackloads of money out there.

All in all Money Mayweather is still the man in boxing.Where your treasure is is where your heart is.People are willing to spent more in Mayweather's fights so that's where their hearts are even though some are in denial.

What do you guys have to say about Floyd being the man now that you are faced with numbers?

talk resume not money

Technicalities only go as far as the human mind will let it go. As of right now, everyone's eyes are on one fighter and one fighter only...Manny Pacquiao.

A classier post would be saying, "Manny has reached a high level just like Floyd. It will be something to watch when they both step in the ring together". Trying to downplay one fighter over another is the 1st sign of envy.

I have the utmost respect for Manny.He has done a lot for boxing but he hasnt achieved what Floyd has achieved,I have shown you the numbers to prove it.Comparison is not envy,that's what we call benchmarking.

Even Manny himself said he was just doing his job,his trainer said this was business.If Manny isnt in it for money why do you think on 2 occassions he wouldnt sign his contract until a certain amount of money was guaranteed.He was supposed to sign his Hatton contract in December,he started going forth and back until God knows because of money

[MANGLER]

Not til he proves it again in the ring.

Manny holds the weight right now. If Floyd wants a fight, its gonna be on Manny's terms.

Its about who's hot and Manny is what's hot in the streets right now.

There have been many fighters before Floyd and will follow after Floyd that will capture titles in different weight classes, go undefeated for long stints, etc. But in the end, it's about the fights themselves. Manny has evolved into a great all around fighter and has fought the best out there and continues to want to fight the best. Many saw the Oscar fight as being an overrated win for Manny. But him beating Ricky Hatton in the fashion that he did really opened the naysayer's eyes who believed he was a flash in the pan. But comparing Floyd's accomplishments and Pac's is pointless simply because both guys are from 2 different sides of the spectrum. Floyd is a technician in the ring who doesn't necessarily fight for the excitement more than just trying to get a win (which obviously is the main goal). Pacquiao is just a much more exciting fighter and the type of fighter that will be remembered for a long time to come.

Accolades are great, but guys like Leonard, Hagler, Duran, and many others are remembered for the fights that made them huge stars. You rarely see anyone debate about Sugar ray by posting all of his accomplishments and trophies, as I said...that's usually the 1st sign of doubt or envy towards another fighter. Benchmarking would be more appropriate if you were comparing both fighter's abilities in the ring and what could happen NOW in a fight (which is what we are all waiting to see).

No one debates about Sugar Ray because he's incomparable.He was a technician,which Mayweather is also.

You do make some very interesting observation and it is good to see how people view this.
