Floyd has the Golden Ticket, Can He Cash it In?

[Mr. Ryan]

Word.

Would you rather make a "humiliating" 70 million dollars (in THREE years) and be universally recognized p4p with five titles like Floyd?....or be "dignified" like Margarito?

De La Hoya is "dignified", in that he doesn't act foolish and have a chip on his shoulders the way Mayweather does.

We haven't really seen Floyd behind close doors without any cameras so I can't judge him as a person. He talks and keeps his name in people's mouths just helping out his popularity.

That's why I consulted his uncle Jeff for the article. He has seen Floyd behind closed doors.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Factor in these circumstances:

1. People were starting to really find out who Floyd Mayweather is.

2. He was ranked p4p #1.

3. People wanted to see how he does against one of the best.

4. De La Hoya has always been recognized as one of the best.

5. Obviously the fight would sell.


It's the SIGNIFICANCE of the fight that helped sell...not Mayweather.

You are wrong.

Felix Trinidad and Shane Mosley fulfilled the above criteria.

Their fights did 1.3 mil and 1.0 mil...NOT 2.2 MIL.

Ask yourself: If Winky was P4P #1 (he was close) , would Oscar /Winky do 2.2 mil??

The Dominican God says "hell no".

In order to be a star you have to put people in the seats contrary to what this author believe Mayweather will never sell as DLH and Tyson before did.

Gatti would still sell out anywhere in Atlantic City, but we know he is no PBF....sales are not everything....and of course you would compare PBF to possibly the two biggest draws in boxing history....

Oh ok. He still turned out well especially since Mayweather Sr. went to prison while Floyd was in his teens. Most people who don't have money and then get tons of it usually are flashy and show it off.

Oscar didn't have money, he doesn't flash it off. As Jeff Mayweather said, "he's acting like he's n***a rich."

LOL, ESPN and the rest of the media talked about DLH-PBF more so factor that in as well..

Word.

or be "dignified" like Margarito?

you mean "dignified" like crying about a robbery after getting worked by the punisher??


or was it crying because he lost any shot at Floyd and the biggest pay day of his career

[Grappler_Baki60]

My favorite line-"Mayweather is too ****** to realize he is being humiliated"

Classic and true!!!

LOL! Floyd Mayweather knows exactly what he is doing. Nice guys don't sell Pay Per Views. Anyone who believe this isn't a act to sell fights is DUMB. Your DUMB if you truly believe this.
