    mayweather didn't do those numbers by himself...it takes 2 together to put up major numbers and usually it's bad guy vs good guy...this won't touch 500k but every true fan really really really wants to see this...who gives 2 ****s about ppv numbers...i'll pay 100 bucks for this ****

      because floyd by himself cannot sell, we all know this yet people act like this is not fact.

      remember when he couldn't even sell out in his own backyard on a free card? i remember ... wasn't too long ago.

      thank God there are fighters out there, more mainstream and more famous than floyd that gave floyd his shot, huh?

        If Cotto beats Marg, and PBF beats DLH, would you want Cotto-PBF to happen?

          I don't care what the PPV buys are. The winner of this bout, without any doubt, deseres a shot at Floyd.

            I also doubt he is thinking into it too much as you just did.
            insinuating that you've never delved into this much detail ... yeah, you and floyd both have.

              Hold your horses Cupcake:

              Floyd vs Gatti - Gatti's first and only PPV fight. Biggest payday of his career.

              Floyd vs Judah - Judah's first PPV and the highest PPV numbers of his career. Cotto-Judah did less then that. The biggest payday of his career.

              Floyd vs Baldomir - Baldomir's first and only PPV. His biggest payday to date. Baldomir against Gatti ( you know Gatti, the guy that Floyd did a PPV with because he is such a PPV attraction) was on free HBO.

              Floyd vs Oscar - 2.5 million PPV buys....a new record. Did more then Oscar-Mosley, Oscar-Trinidad, Oscar-Mayorga, Oscar-(insert here).

              Floyd vs Hatton - Ricky's first and only PPV fight in 44 bouts. His biggest payday to date.


              ANY QUESTIONS?

                  that has to be killing floyd inside. floyd made his first big break by fighting a name, then another name and then another. when floyd doesn't fight a name, he'll be singing a new tune.

                  you act like 5 years ago never happened.
                  I stopped reading when you said he's not making Floyd bread.

                      ANY QUESTIONS?
                      ah ... cupcake is my ****.

                      in any case

                      gatti - the guy who boardwalk was basically named after. he brought in atleast half that bread.

                      judah - very good mix of a fight. had to garner some interest, otherwise floyd would be still be PPV pathetic. cotto - judah did do less, because cotto's only been around for a couple years, not going on the 10 that floyd is on, isn't that true?

                      baldomir - by this point floyd has crossed, good for the lad - again he was given the opportunity by the gatti fight. how much did this sell?

                      oscar - you think this was floyd's doing, don't cha?

                      hatton - there was a nationalistic theme to this, garnered attention - but don't kid yourself - hatton filled that house to the brim.

                      any thing i miss?
