Do you remember when NO ONE could fuc with De La Hoya numbers and the fights werent even that great ...

[Carpe Diem]

To a degree yes. When he fought Hatton he did EXACTLY what he said he would do. People also tend to forget that once the fight was over and before Hatton cried for weeks on end. Mayweather made his way over and was very respectful and "caring" towards him. Very sportsman like. NOT the arrogant ass he can be that smart-fully sells the fight......

That's the real Floyd at the end of the fight especially at 4:13..

Mayweather vs Clottey would have done more. Haters love to pay Mayweather's bills.

There is a reason he "acts" the way he does OUTSIDE of the ring. He's a business man that puts on a show as a villain just like you would see in a movie.

His skills in the ring is what pisses everyone off at the end of the day. Its too bad that he's going to tell everyone of you that he just doubled Pacs numbers and making 2 to 3 times more money while fighting the #1 WW.

But hey Pac did the "right" thing right? lol People wont be so forgiving later this year if he ducks again to "run" to politics.......

That's why people call him fraud mayweather. He's a phony character who suckers in the ignorant fans who like him cuz he talks about ***elry, cars & money all the damn time. Not saying you are cuz I don't know you but half of his fans are like that. He's like a guy who was a straight A student, never needed anything in life, graduated college with a masters degree & then becomes a rapper & talks about how he kills people & needed 2 sell drugs in the streets 2 survive just 2 sell records.

What is so great about a WW KO'ng blown up lightweights???

It's far from lame. There is no evidence that Floyd would have done that well against Clottey, and I very much doubt that he would have. Most of the publicity said it would be an easy win and a boring fight.

May-JMM was similar in a way, but everyone was curious to see Floyd then because it was his come-back fight after a nearly 2 year lay-off. And JMM brings a lot more to the table than Clottey does anyway.

If Floyd fought Clottey now and got more than 700k, I'd be very surprised.

You are LAME cause all you wanna talk about is what would happen if floyd fought clottey. instead what did happen when pac fought clottey and that is only 700K buys. floyd will never fight clottey cause he leaves his punching bags in the gym. pacquiao chose to fight a guy coming off of a loss to the guy pac just destroyed. tell me why that would draw interest? 2 guys that can barely speak english and you really think a 24/7 would of helped? you're an idiot. and the only thing marquez brings to the table is having whooped pac twice!!

The media ripped Mayweather-Marquez apart saying it was a complete mismatch and it still did over 1million buys so how can yall use bad media as an excuse. 700K is a decent number but its not indicative of the greatest draw in the sport. I remember watching espn the day of marquez and a broadcaster saying Tonight mayweather fights marquez "If you like that sort of thing". They downplayed that **** to the max saying it was a BS fight... The pac-clottey fight was not represented as such by the media. I'm sorry but this is reason enough for floyd to fairly ask for the lion's share. If your angry about that take it up with team pac they were really better off just resting manny until the fall this fight did nothing but hurt him at the bargaining table. It sounds like they aren't trying to make the fight anyway though so it may not even matter to them.

[M.I Truth ?]

Good numbers. I hope Clottey gets some decent fights going forward with this exposure as well. Wasnt his best performance but I'll still tune in to see him in the future. Pac is a huge star in the sport. a couple years ago no fighter not named Oscar De La Hoya could put up big numbers like this. Manny and Floyd have changed that and they are doing it at the same period of time. Incredible.

[AzteK Warrior]

This is actually great numbers considering the fight wasn't promoted much with no HBO 24/7, and about 3 months time to promote the fight. Also, Clottey was not well-known outside of hardcore boxing fans.

Exactly!!

Fraud Gayweather had to postpone the Marquez fight because of the ****ty interest to allow more time to re-market the fight more agressively... People bought the fight to watch Marquez anyways

[sNiTcH]

wow cong**** pacman 700k + 51k people watching live is a great news

Very true and people are still saying boxing is dying smh... I guess they just keep saying that hoping it comes true but the truth is BOXING IS HERE TO STAY AND THE ULTIMATE COMBAT SPORT, THERE IS NO BETTER!!
