Floyd sells more Pay per views than Pacquiao

[1000 Left Fist]

floyd may have sold more ppv but im sure that fans loved pacquiao's fights more.

[Pullcounter]

who cares!!! do any of us get a cut of floyd's or pac's purse???

50/50 purse split for pac/floyd or else floyd has to retire AGAIN.

floyd may have sold more ppv but im sure that fans loved pacquiao's fights more.

People think you have to be popular in order to be a draw.....THAT is a MYTH..., and FACTS just dont support it...

Floyd doesn't need to be popular to be a draw....
His drawing power comes from being Notorious, and being a celebrated fighter
__________________________________________________ _______________________

ALI

The most popular fighter to ever live is Ali....
But for most of Ali career he was the Most "Notorious" fighter in the game....He wasnt loved, he was reguarded as a big mouth and ****y.....just as Floyd is today..

Ali didn’t become Popular until He "lost" not to Frazier but to the Government...
When People saw what the U.s Government was doing to Ali.. he became popular AND a fan favorite...

__________________________________________________ ______________________

Floyd

Floyd Mayweather is adding to his popularity everyday and he added to his “popularity” even more in the Hatton fight. He had overwhelming support because of the British fans booed the National Anthem...
You can hear the fans Screaming "U.S.A" and "FLOYD" throughout the whole fight....But I think that was just for that fight you never know though

But Now...


"Floyd is more Notorious rather than popular."

Floyd Mayweather is the most "Notorious" fighter in the game... He is without a doubt the most “Famous”
His "Fame" is second to only Oscar.

He is the most "Revered" boxer in the game... Floyd will never be the most Popular (loved) fighter right now because he has chosen to take the bad guy road... it doesnt meaned he isnt popular but he is more Notorious right now rather than Popular
__________________________________________________ ______________________

History

As of right now I don’t think WHAT Floyd is doing is a bad thing....
Some of the most "Famous and successful" people history has ever known
Have been more "Notorious" than Popular... or Have been "Notorious" before they became "Popular"

Al Capone
2pac
Biggie
Ali
Malcolm X
Kobe Bryant
Terrell Owens
Deion Sanders
Britney Spears
Charles Barkley
Scarface (Tony Montana)
The list goes on....

My Point

Floyd notoriety and fame is what sell's the fight's not his popularity ....
Floyd being "Notorious".... sells the fight

People just don’t come to see Floyd lose just like they just didn’t come to see Ali lose...

People come because they are interested in Floyd.
He is a "hot rod" for debate as we see in the millions of threads, articles, stories, and interviews we see made about him....

If you think Floyd wasn’t half the reason for the first de la hoya P.P.V numbers then your crazy...

If you think Floyd wasn’t Majority of the reason for the Hatton fight then you’re crazy...


Floyd's widespread reputation of being "Notoriously" a great fighter and an Arrogant Person is what makes Floyd the most famous fighter in the game...

HBO, WWE, Rock Star understands this that's why they give him so much money...

The whole Boxing world Understands this that's why he is the most "Famously Celebrated" fighter in the sport.....

Oscar is the most Popular Fighter in the Sport
Floyd is the most "Notorious".... and "Celebrated"

Floyd like it or not, Is the 2nd Biggest Draw in the sport not because he is popular.....It is because he is "Notorious"....

how come you put 5 ppv events for floyd and 9 ppv's for pac instead putting same amount of ppv's?...oh that's right,the rest of floyd fights were on free tv!

[Horus]

But does that make him a more popular figure than Pacquiao right now? I highly doubt it.

You dont get to tap into two markets??? Well the man is from the phillipines and am pretty sure his community would buy is fights no matter who he fights.

American would also buy is fights because they wanted to see explosive fight and pacqiuao provide that, There is a reason why people like Top rank alway go after a certain type of fighters when signing one.

Top rank likes to sign Latin/mexican or fighters with a strong american community.

Dead On!

Floyd vs Hatton did more ppvs than Pacquiao vs Hatton
Floyd vs Oscar did more ppvs than Pacquiao vs Oscar

if Floyd vs Marquez does more ppvs than Pacquiao vs Marquez then we all know who the bigger draw is and who will have the upper hand in negotiations IF Floyd beat Marquez..who is a live underdog and can upset

i dont dispute this at all...

its just natural that an american prettyboy/heel would be more popular than an asian who cant speak english straight up...

[Horus]

Well thats my point, Filipino's in the USA will buy Pacquiao fight and american would buy is PPV, America doesnt discriminate against a foreign fighter, If they like what they see then they will pay to see you fight.

So again the arguement about Pacquiao being a foreign fighter doesnt come into it because he gets to tap into 2 different markets which is the filipino based in American market and the american market itself.

Pacquiao is a draw because of his nationality and his style, because he is the pride of the pinnoys. Who else do the pinnoys have to support...Pacquiao has a complete Monopoly on a entire group of people, which is Asians.
What Other Asian Fighter rivals Pacquiao Stardom...
So he will always be popular because his people will support him.

bwahahaha at some of this floyd sluts protecting him to the fullest. one question does he pay you or fuuck ur ass for doing this?

plus it wasn't mayweather who draw it was hatton and odlh. his fans dropped since the baldomir fight that's why he whined like a ***** and retired. trust me if this fight with marquez wont do big and he gets his ass somehow spanked, and him pulling a boring decision biatch will whine and retire again.
