          yall bitching baout whose filling arenas now! you guys are worse than the promoters! fans have been claiming that boxers are all about the money, yet they are the ones arguing over who should get a bigger share b/c of fan base and whose bringing how many people to the stadium! its ridiculous. alot of fans are hypocrits. they would bash a fighter if he turns down a fight due to money, but yet would still argue that "their fighter" should get more b/c of fanbase

            They all came to see Hatton, they all paid to see Oscar.

            Seriously, how many Floyd fans would buy tickets if he fought Cintron?

            Floyd piggy backs by fighting big superstars with huge followings. It remains to be seen if Floyd captures Hatton's and Oscar's fans and adds them to his fanbase. I doubt it.

            Fighters like Tyson, Tito, Duran, Cotto, Oscar when you see them you almost get chills knowing how great they are. Fans go nuts when they see them, and they get huge cheers when they are at ringside for fights. Mayweather gets nothing even remotely close. And ten or 20 yers down the road, I don't think he;ll get it either. Fans just don't warm up to the guy for some reason.
            I don't understand mayweather haters. I'm ashamed to be a former mayweather hater. You haters must've personal issues or something to go out of your way to post stuff like this. Mayweather has a bigger fanbase than you think but he positions himself as the villain to sell tickets. And you say hatton and De La Hoya are the reasons for the hype behind the fights you are dead wrong. the dlh fight was dlh biggest pay day. the hatton fight was hatton's biggest payday. if dlh or hatton would've fought say clottey, would they have gotton as much hype? no. have percpective, whether you hate him or not that is your right but be clear headed about your point of views.

                  Sounds like you got owned buddy...nothing else to say....figures.

                  If Im a fan of Winky and I live in the US why would go see Floyd fight when Im not a fan of his.

                  How many people in the UK ARENT fans of Calzaghe or Hatton???

                  Jesus.

                      owned? fool you clowned yourself! first you say that Floyd is the biggest star in boxing, then claim you didnt mean that he has the biggest fanbase?!?!?!?! are you really that ******ed? So you mean to tell me that someone can be a "superstar" without a big fanbase, do you realize how RIDICULOUS that sounds? hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa. anyway, i dont mean to clown you that hard kid. i hope you and your fam have a good christmas and if you're traveling someone by vehicle, make sure that you change the oil and add anti freeze if your going somewhere cold. k, bye.
