    Here are the actual numbers

    Pacuiao vs. Clottey 700,000 ppv buys

    Mayweather vs. Mosley 1,400,000 ppv buys

    So the Mayweather fight made twice as many buys as the Pacquiao fight.

    That was the first boring fight I have seen Pacquaio on. It was pretty boring since Clottey is also unknown and most people think defensive fighters like him are boring. Pacquiao Clottey did about 700,000 or so buys and Mayweather Mosley doubled that. Mayweather and Mosley was by far better and more competitive, at least in the first 3 rounds.

    Well if you are talking about PPV sales alone it wasnt THAT far off from each other,

    Pacquiao/Clottey fight did around 1.1 mil buys

    Mayweather/Mosely fight did around 1.4 mil buys.

    As far as how much each fighter made well Mayweather made around 40 mil total from the fight around double or more what Manny got for his fight. Shane got somewhere around 12 mil i think. I am assuming Manny got somewhere around 15-18 mil for the fight with clottey and clottey himself probably got 1-2 mil.

  • Mayweather/Mosely did well against Pacquiao/Clottey although if we have them exchange partners then well have Pacquiao Mosley getting 2M PPVs while Mayweather/Clottey gets about 100PPV.

    And Mayweather is a coward ducker, have you heard of that lately?

    Money/Shane made about 2 times as much as Manny/Clottey.

    Money is the PPV king.
