    So take your pick:

    1) You DO believe in triangular theories, thereby violating every tenet of boxing logic

    2) You DO NOT believe in triangular theories, thereby rendering what you posted in FOUR seperate posts meaningless.

    Your assclownery knows no bounds.
    Yet you continue to ignore the point and try to clown on me instead. Pick up a better argument before you start thinking yourself some hot **** on these forums. I won't waste my time replying if you're going to ignore the point I was making about Floyd's nuthuggers making up some BS excuses to defend his wins after they get outshined. They WOULDN'T have to if they didn't believe the **** you're trying to peg on me.

      when mayweather beat hatton that was it for hatton..he wasnt the same fighter anymore not the same hatton who won against tszyu..when hatton fought mayweather he was hungry and ready for a war..when i saw him against pacquiao he looked like he didnt wanna be there..even when i was watching 24/7..floyd senior looked more ready than hatton..i think hattons done with boxing he should retire and do what he loves..eat,drink and watch soccer.

        I'm done with you, dear. It was either #1 or #2. And either way, you were cornered. And you knew it.

          No, it was #3. Pac's wins outshone Floyd's wins over Hatton and Oscar regardless of Triangular theory and Floyd huggers feel a need to defend his record because they obviously DO believe in triangular theories. I'll agree with you on this being done. I'm tired of bumping such a ****** thread title.

            Having said that Floyd is still the man.Hatton-Pacquaio did not sell as fast as Hatton-Mayweather which was sold out within 33 minutes.
            Mayweather -Hatton got more more than $10 million,Hatton-Pacquaio did $8million in gate takings.That means many people were willing to pay more to watch Mayweather fighting with Hatton than Hatton with Pacquiao.
            Mayweather-Hatton did 850 000 buys in the US,generating $47m in the USA,but did 1 million buys in the UK as well.The fugures for Manny-Hatton will be out soon.
            Pacquaio-Oscar generated 1.25 million PPV.Mayweather-Oscar did 2.4 million buys.
            Pacquia-Oscar generated $70 million ppvs and the Oscar-Mayweather fight did $134.5 million in sales.

            Pacquiao-Oscar's gate takings did $17m,Oscar- Mayweather did $18.5m.Many people paid a premium to watch Mayweather than Pacquiao.What it means is the Mayweather brand is a premium brand,many people happily folk out more money to watch the Money Mayweather than anyone else in boxing.

            Mayweather shuttered the record with Oscar,was the first 24/7 show which is an award winning show.Soon the 24/7 will be a standard for every big fight.In all these ,every fighter who has fought Mayweather made more money than he had ever made in his life.Even Carlos Baldomir generated over 400k in PPVs,and Baldomir made his first $1m cheque.Baldomir sent his kids to a different school after the Mayweather fight and took his family out to a meal after the Mayweather fight.Though trivial it might interest some to know that Baldomir knew about the ipod because of Mayweather and subsequently got his own after the fight

            Oscar Delahoya made more money fighting Mayweather than he did fighting Pacquiao.He also made more with Mayweather than with Hopkins which was a higher risk fight.Manny's stock has gone up now,with good marketing he stands to make a lot more outside the ring.Floyd has been doing some bits outside the ring but his team is obviously not as smart as Floyd thinks it is.The guy could be making sackloads of money out there.

            All in all Money Mayweather is still the man in boxing.Where your treasure is is where your heart is.People are willing to spent more in Mayweather's fights so that's where their hearts are even though some are in denial.

            What do you guys have to say about Floyd being the man now that you are faced with numbers?
            He is the money man without a doubt,however,as Ricky Hatton has just proved,the amount of support,interest and money you bring to the table doesnt mean you are the best fighter.That accolade can only be achieved in the ring.

              Floyd is still the man in boxing. Till he gets beat, he's the man.

                  Good point,@ least Mayweather has done well in the ring.To be fair it's only in England where hyping is the order of the day that Hatton had any respect.The world has always known he isnt all that.Ricky himself knows it.He will probably not retire but will come back with another trainer.He will milk his fans dry.

                  This time it will probably be a homecoming against a bum in Manchester.

                      hatton was undefeated, his fans wanted to watch him more than they did against pacquiao.

                      mayweather is american, so what difference does american ppv numbers mean?
