They don't call Floyd Mayweather Jr. "Money" for nothing.

Mayweather's junior middleweight title victory against Miguel Cotto on HBO PPV last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated a whopping 1.5 million pay-per-view buys and $94 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, HBO Sports announced Friday.

The performance ranks as the second-highest grossing pay-per-view for a non-heavyweight fight in history.

Pac-Man says he deserves half if they ever fight, and Floyd said "you not on my level money wise." And this proves his point.

Manny's the reason the fight is held up. A guy who has done what Manny has done with the negotiations between him and Floyd shows someone who is to me scared to fight him since Floyd has made other fighters look dumb in the ring (something his critics have hated to this day). And after that embarrassing fight he had with what's his name, it's gonna make it more questionable whether or not Manny could really handle a fight with Floyd.

It can be argued that Pac-Man lost all 3 fights against JMM.
