      so you HONESTLY believe that his PPV's have increased because people think he is exciting to watch in the ring?

        yes and more importantly they hate him and want to see him lose. I bet any of his detractors without their agenda and disdain for him for not fighting so and so when they wanted....deep down inside respect him and when he is done fighting acknowledge his skill and greatness. right now to hate Floyd is the populist thing to do and that is all. People will stil cont to buy his fights and his popularity will cont. to increase.

          Really how many dull fights as Floyd had in the last 5 yrs? How many has he had in the last 8? I can only think of 1 and that was Baldomir and he was just no match for Floyd's speed. the Oscar fight didn't live up to the hype, but it was still entertaining.

            Ah, so the DLH fight had 2.5 Mill buys in the US and the majority of casual fans thought he was boring and Hatton/Mayweather sold 800,000 K, 1.7 Million less than DLH/Mayweather. Thats a pretty significant drop right there.

              Also I think we got to pull back on calling people racist. There is nothing wrong with cheering for a fighter of your heritage and culture. There is nothing wrong with having pride in 1 self. It is when that pride can only be built up off another person race, that's a problem.

                  that 2.5 M is astronomical though. it's never been done before ever in a HW or Non Hw bout ever!!! so the 2.5 shouldn't and can't be the benchmark, can it?

                  with that said u didn't include the buys over the pond which also contributes to the sales of the fight. and hatton is not Oscar so did Floyd have a significant drop or did hatton just not bring what Oscar could?

                    i didnt include the shares from the pond because those were 2 markets that had access to the fights where as DLH/Mayweather only had one open market. But that still doesn't help your argument. People want to see Floyd lose and Floyd, according to you, was exciting in the DLH fight so the Hatton fight would have broken the Million buy mark at least.

                    Floyd WAS exciting prior to moving up. But he cant be exciting now at Welter and I can't blame him. It doesn't favor him to do so. I'm not discrediting him, im just speaking the truth.

                      OMG....Corley was a slugfest. That was very exciting and all power punches and harly any jabs. He put Corley down like 4 times.

                      Mitchell was a a good fight, it ended in aTKO and he was put down twice I believe.
                      Brusseles got Koed too.

                      Oscar was a entertaining fight as well. Do u like boxing?
                      did u like barrera/Marquez? of barrera/juarez?
