I Thought Floyd Needed Mexican Holidays to Sell PPV?

PRO CONOR! Just look at the people! He's the reason why this will do so well. :boxing: People always say it's the other guy but with all these record breaking PPV's the common denominator is always Floyd Mayweather

Those dates helped him with the Maidana's and Ortiz's of the world. Conor brings another fan base entirely. This post is a big ass stretch. Not a stretch at all, Floyd has simply perfected the sales pitch period. Other fighters need to take notes

LOL. Another takes an L. Who necks. I know..it must suck taking L after L. But thats what happens when you assume everyone is black. You couldnt be more dumb if you tried. Youre sitting there thinking you are talking to a black male. LOL In reality I am superior to you in every way, shape and form.

Look at this EBT Thug... still can't asnwer my question. Why doesn't your bruva fight on MLK DAY, DOE? Floyd is supposed to be the star.... big money, big numbers... yet, what were his numbers vs Berto? LOL. Try again, bruva. Im caucasian and from New England try again

8/26 is a brilliant date. -They get the fight in weeks before Golden Boy -There are no relevant sports leading up to this fight. They are going to have the full attention of the sports world up until this fight -This fight will be massive. The dumbasses who think this does around 2 million ppv buys are clueless. This will do north of 3 million at $100 a pop.

The UFC fanboys are sucking it up already all over various MMA facebook groups. They're convinced Conor's put Floyd away within 4 rounds.

Yet, you still don't have an answer on why he doesn't/ didn't fight on MLK Day, Fourth of July, Any weekened on Black History Month. Face it, Conor is the reason why people are talking about this fight. What were Floyd's numbers vs. Berto? I'll wait. Look at this loser talking about floyd/berto numbers...you wanna talk canelo/liam smith numbers too? which is what u get when you add both of gggs ppvs together...and nobody gave a flying **** about canelo/smith but you on here just spilling your whole shaker of salt you pathetic mug

For whatever reason I just don't think this breaks 2 mill even tho that's great I don't see em selling like ppl think maybe 1.5, I'm not into mma but the highest selling mma fight was 1.6 and it was way cheaper and maybe 400k boxing fans if that

Stupid thread. Nobody ever said that mayweather needed to fight on Mexican holidays. I always thought it was stupid anyway. He fought on Mexican independence weekend in sept 2015 and totally flopped...so it goes both ways

so??? go on and celebrate

Canelo-GGG was already made. Floyd had 4 options: 1. Try to go head to head against Canelo-GGG. Last time he did that against Canelo-Cotto, he was in a better position to bump them. 2. Wait until May 2018 3. Fight AFTER canelo-GGG when a lot of people would have already shelled out $60 for that and might not want to pay for more PPV's for a while. Sports media will endlessly be comparing Floyd-Connor to Canelo-GGG and if it can match or live up to the hype ect ect. Especially if Canelo-GGG is an exciting fight. 4. Fight BEFORE canelo-GGG. There is no pressure to outperform/outsell them and people have $60 more in their pockets at this time. Number 4 was the best strategic choice. If he would have gotten through the negotiations sooner, he definitely would have taken the September date but they waited too long. Its also funny as hell watching salty Oscar get all worked up and *****ing and moaning about Floyd yet again because he is stealing his thunder and fighting weeks before Oscar's biggest fight in years.

To be honest people really hate Mayweather and they would say anything that makes them feel better when it comes to him, at the end of the day he also needs a good sparring partner to sell. But he does sell due to the hate that he generates.
