Is all of the fuss about Floyd and Pacquiao, racism and everything, going to fuel the demand for the fight?

I watched Legendary Nights, the tale of Cooney-Holmes, and those two guys really didn't have a beef with one another. The most outspoken thing was said by Holmes, and he basically just said that if he were white, then he'd be a lot more of acceptable as the champ. I think what he said was absolutely true. He split the purse 50-50 with Gerry Cooney, and Holmes was champ for 4 years with 11 title defenses, and he had to split the purse even. That was a bit of injustice, something that would be disputed today, but that also was probably Holmes largest payday up till then. He knew that was the best he could get, 50/50. Plain and simple, people wanted to see the fight. The American public was going to pay a ton of money to see if the white guy could beat Holmes. The promotors and managers turned it into a race thing, and the two guys fighting didn't really have anything to do with it. Jesse Jackson even showed up at Holmes camp for goodness sake. Either way it worked. Both fighters made huge money, and so did the promotors and managers. Look how much we're talking about Floyd and Manny; we're all getting in a tif right? Well we love boxing, so we were already interested, but in order to get this fight to appeal to casual fans ( like all the people that left to go watch MMA ) they have to capture their attention. Fighters don't fight too often anymore, so they have to fill those gaps with trash talking. It's all hype, and I have to say it's working like a charm so far, but it will probably get worse. Our ears pick up everything, because we never left boxing, but casual sports fans might only read, hear, or see 5% of the interviews we see. Remember when Bernard threw down the Puerto Rican flag in Puerto Rico before he fought Trinidad? He later said before his fight with Calzaghe that he will never let a white boy beat him. I don't know if those examples meet the criteria for racism, but Bernard wasn't neccessarily being nice. But it built interest, and probably initiated more sales because even casual fans that were Puerto Rican or English guys that really love soccer might have bought the fight just to see Bernard get beat. Boxing isn't a tickling contest. These guys are putting their life on the line. It's part of the brutality of the sport, but maybe it's a neccessary evil. If Bernard loses his life in a fight, he probably wants his family to get as much money as possible. Same with Floyd. A lot of people don't like Floyd. The more people that hate him and love Manny, the more people might buy the fight hoping to see him get whooped. These are professional A$$ kickers. Maybe they don't have the best PR, but that's what they doing. Just part of fight building.
