[PrettyBoyRoy 88]

No thanks on the burrito, I just had a grilled chicken salad.

But thanks.


However,


Even then, you still need to step up your comprehension game.

"A Spoiled Floyd Mayweather Jr. Hurt Boxing".


That is speaking in the past tense.

But yea, its nice to know you're racist.

Hmmm..I thought u were that other one..do u have 2 accounts? there's that looks just like you that's always pissing off ever since i came here..I think its el gallo pajaro something like that idk..I tried taking the easy route with him but he just kept dissing me because I told him to stop glorifying mexicans so much because my girlfriend is mexican(and i didnt want people to start dissing mexicans) and he took it the wrong way..My bad if you're not him..

Pretty clear Mayweather is held to a higher standard than anyone because he is so much better. Cut and Dry.

It's also partly because of the size of his mouth; and partly because he won a lineal championship and claimed he was the best at that weight, but never defended it against any of the top contenders.

So whats your excuse for the heavyweight division? Garbage like Calzaghe vs Jones,Valuev vs Hollyfield and Taylor vs Lacey.....Floyd's to blame also? Bottomline Floyd is all about the dollars. Why should he put a sport that has been mishandled and had its value lowered way before his health and wallet. I blame the promoters, alphabet commissions and myopic fans as much as I blame Floyd. If the sport was handled correctly more stars would be around and Floyds behaivior would be irrelivant.

Its a fair comparison seeing as how the majority of Mayweather fans give him the most credit for the PPV numbers.

You can't say something that is statistically not a fair comparison is fair just because of some delusional fans. DLH wouldn't have got such big numbers against anyone but Mayweather, and Mayweather wouldn't have got such big numbers against anyone but DLH - which fighter contributed how much is impossible to say. Obviously DLH was the biggest draw at that time, not Mayweather; but Mayweather made a big contribution as well, as is proved by the fact that DLH-Pac sold less.

By Brent Matteo Alderson - A number of factors contribute to boxing’s dwindling coverage in the mainstream media, but nothing negatively impacts the sport more than the lack of blockbuster events involving big stars. [details]

this article is very biased and doesnt even take into account that floyd wanted to fight mosley since 130 and wanted to fight cotto at 140.

he's either ignorant or a hater.

yes, floyd is spoiled, but he is not the sole reason why fights against mosley and cotto have not come off.

and the fact that Mayweather Hatton sold less is because,

there wasn't a DLH fighting.


2+ mil to 850k is a huge dropoff.

The comparison is easily fair. DLH has done million without Mayweather before more than once.

Floyd can't say the same.

The comparison is very valid seeing as how DLH is the face of the sport.


Without DLH, we wouldn't even have a "Money May". DLH made his name on his own accord whereas Floyd piggybacked off of DLHs. Then, when he had a chance to really make a huge impact,

he crawled back into his shell with his new money.

The reason it sold less in the US is because one of the fighters wasn't from the US. It sold more worldwide.

He wanted to figh Cotto after finding out that Cotto was moving up to 147. How come when they were both at 147, FM didn't try to fight him? Mayweather was great at the lower weights but once he came up to 140/147 he never faced the best.

The problem with what you saying homey is that you make it seem that since Mayweather did not do Oscar numbers then he did something wrong. Nobody does Oscar numbers. The fact still remains that Hatton could not have done the US numbers he did without Mayweather. Oscar is a huge draw but he doesn't do 2 million buys with anyone else. Would you agree that Pac and Cotto would all do the hightest numbers they have ever done with Mayweather?

Mayweather did do something wrong, he overhyped himself giving the public a false perception about the type of fighter he is. They tuned in after hearing all of his hype, only to be let down.

and they showed it in his next fight by not ordering it in the large quan****** they had previously.

and Dave Rado, what does worldwide have to do with u.s. numbers?

Seeing as how those people were paying to see Ricky, it further goes against anything you're trying to prove in regards to Mayweather being a draw.


But do tell, what were the numbers worldwide for, "The World Awaits"?


This should be interesting.
