Mayweather thinks he’s a better boxer and talent than Pacquiao. He might be right. Mayweather also thinks he’s a bigger attraction than Pacquiao. He’s wrong.

Pacquiao’s the guy who attracted 40,000 and 50,000 to Cowboy Stadium. Pac’s the man who has sold out the MGM Grand with record gates for his last two fights while doing more than 1 million PPV buys for each show. The last time Mayweather sold out the Garden Arena was when he fought Ricky Hatton (and trust me, the joint was packed with drunk-ass British fans that night, not these message board jokers who think Floyd would have spanked Ray Robinson). Mayweather’s fights with JM Marquez, Shane Mosley and Victor Ortiz (all at the MGM) did not sell out. Don’t get me wrong, they did terrific PPV numbers. Floyd is a bona-fide boxing superstar. But Pacquiao is a little bit bigger on the international stage, and Arum knows it.
