Floyd has been named the ppv king, but his name isn't what sells his fights like he claims. Floyd relies heavily on fighting Latin fighter's right after they win a title and fighting them on Latin holidays. If you're a true PPV KING it shouldn't matter what RACE u fight and what date u fight on people will pay to see u. Have Floyd fight a BROTHA on MLK DAY and see if he's the true PPV KING. Mike Tyson is the real PPV KING becuz he didn't rely on a certain RACE OR DATES to sell his fight people played to see MIKE TYSON!
People couldn't illegally stream PPVs on the internet during Tyson's time, and there were fewer alternatives for tv entertainment. There weren't 500+ TV channels and YouTube didn't exist.
It's MUCH harder to sell PPVs now a days. I know there were less cable outlets back when Tyson was fighting, but he was still making $20-$30m a fight.
Fool! My point is Tyson didn't rely on a certain Race to sell on PPV. Floyd relies heavily on the Latin RACE for his PPV #'s
Who else was he supposed to fight at those times?
Nothing new. TBDE is certainly no Tyson. Tyson audiences came in droves to see action and celebrate boxing. Mayweather audiences want to see him lose. The ducking, vacationing, fake retirement, the Pac controversy added to the mystery and curiosity. His boring style is not even PPV material.

this is retarded...the same people who buy Floyds fight on any day will buy them on another..it is called a fan base....and what do you mean by BROTHA????
Big Larry, U know I have a good point Bruh.

Brotha meaning fight Porter or Thurman. I don't want to hear they don't have a fan base becuz remember Floyd's name is what sells on PPV. If Floyd's name alone is what sells why does he only fight on Latin holiday's vs a Latin fighter and a loaded Latin under card? Floyd is fast to pull the RACE CARD when it benefits him, but won't fight a Brotha and give him a payday.
You can't be the "PPV King" and not release the numbers for 2 outta your last 3 fights
Why not? If he released them, you and the other haters would still claim they were lying about the numbers.
The sad thing about those smart business decisions is that they involve choosing the opponents gloves. That shyt don't go down well with the fans.
De La Hoya chose Floyd's gloves for him and still lost. What is your point?
Ya, but guess who was on the undercard? CANELO! Thurman is the WBA #1 contender and Porter is a champ. Again Floyd said his name is what sells his fights so it shouldn't matter who and where he fights. I bet if Porter was Latin Floyd would have fought him already.
Tell us how many hundreds of thousands of people you think bought the Mayweather/Mosley PPV to watch Alvarez fight a no-hoper on the undercard. I don't even know who Alvarez fought that night.
However, Alvarez/Angulo sold 300,000 PPVs, so his fight against whoever he fought that night must have accounted for at least 800,000 of that 1.4 million, don't you think?:smashfrea
Tell me how well Floyd's PPV #'s would be if he fought a brotha on MLK DAY?
this is retarded...the same people who buy Floyds fight on any day will buy them on another..it is called a fan base....and what do you mean by BROTHA????
Canelo has had 2 ppv's on his own and together they do not add up to 1 million
Tell me how well Floyd's PPV #'s would be if he fought a brotha on MLK DAY?
People didn't buy that ppv to watch Canelo or Cotto's brother.
The majority of people buying Floyd's PPV fights are Latin fight fans hoping the Latin fighter will beat Floyd. Like I said earlier have Floyd fight Porter on MLK DAY and no Latin fighters on the undercard and see how well his PPV #'s are. Tyson fought all races on any date and sold on PPV.

Lol funny. Floyd's paid for ppvs have more viewers than other fighters free fights. Ppl do realize this right? There's really nothing that should ever be said about Floyd's ability to sell fights.
i'm sure having canelo fight cotto's brother on the undercard helped a little.
that said..... floyd is better than ali and fought tougher opponents! :headbang:
