It wasn’t exactly a taunt, but in his own quiet way Manny Pacquiao fired back at braggart Floyd Mayweather.

On his arrival home on Friday Pacquiao referred to the fact that his bout against Miguel Cotto earned more pay-per-views than Mayweather’s last fight. “We are not forcing a fight with him. It is right that he is the one challenging me, because my fights score more on pay-per-view.”

Well said, Pacman!

If Pacman’s analysis of Mayweather is as bad as his pay per view observations, he is in trouble. Having been active, he managed just over a million fans on pay per view view, way below Mayweather’s 2,5 million against de la Hoya. What was Pacman’s figure against de la Hoya?

The number of PPV between DeloHoya vs Mayweather was because of Oscar and partly Floyd. And the economy during that time was well off. When Pacman fought DelaHoya we are in a financial crisis globally. So you could not compare those 2 different times because of the financial conditions are different. But Pacman is right on the money when he said that his PPV with Cotto is bigger than Mayweathers fight with JMM.
