Would Mayweather be a draw if he didnt hype himself up?

      NEVER.

      Thats not the point now is it? all you nuthuggers are claiming what a huge draw he is. Then why not carry a show with one of these top fighters instead of being carried by Hatton and Oscar? He'll take a relatively low ball pay day against Marquez to get his mega payday against Manny or Ricky again. If he is really the draw you guys claim he'd take on these other fighters who actually fight in the same weight class as him, right?

              Mayweather is a bigger draw then Mosley..Cotto and Williams...that cant be argued.

              Period.

                  It's no secret Floyd relies on his character or "persona" to sell his fights more than his actual performance which in itself is great to watch...if you're a purist in the world of analyzing Boxing. The reality is Floyd doesn't have too much of a fan pleasing style.

                  You can ask yourself this very question, if you replace Floyd Mayweather's persona say with Miguel Cotto's, would people be very eager to see Mayweather fight based solely on how he fights?

                    Mayweather wont even fight WELTERWEIGHTS
                    when your an old boxer, you can do wat ever you want. YOu lose, people say "oh, its ok, he is old" but then they rank him in the top 10. THEN when he beats a fighter, he gets praised like he is jesus or something. its a double standard

                      How many PPV's can Mosley, Williams, Cotto, sell against Baldmoir?

                      0 PPV's
                      Why? because HBO wouldn't even make the fight PPV in the first place.

                      Mayweather vs Baldomir, 400k PPV's

                      (I'm using Baldomir because he can't even draw flies)
