    Its seems not too many people can look at the situation from a realistic point of view. Some are making it seem that Mayweather has no drawing ability whatsoever. This is False and had the fight gone on I think it would have done decent as far as ppv is concerned. High price tickets probably would not have been the best idea either. For those who make it seem like Floyd is at a De la Hoya level of drawing that is also false. Nobody is Oscar. Period. What Floyd does bring to the table though is the ability make a big fight bigger. I doubt anyone her would deny that any big name fighter would do the biggest numbers of their career with Floyd. There is something to that. People say he needed Oscar's and Hatton's fans to do huge numbers witch is partially true. However when Oscar fought a guy that was already loved and adored by in Trinidad the numbers were well short of what Oscar did with Mayweather. Does that mean Mayweather brings more fans than Trinidad? No. What it does mean is he has the ability to get all of his opponents fans as well as people who may be indifferent to both fighters but want to see him lose. At the end of the day as long as people pay for it right?

        Seems like you bought into the hype that Mayweather is this huge star.

          I know more people who passed the chance to see Floyd fight Ricky than paid to see him fight.

          So, no, what you are saying is not fact, but rather, an opinion.

            seems about 100 percent of you on this board sure do care about him, even though his fight is postponed and we dont know when hell be back, about 50 percent of the threads on the first page have to do with his drawing power.

            This is like when i visit the ********ic union political forum, where instead of stalking about health care reform and the "public option" i got to read about 30 threads about sarah palin and david letterman. Its the same logic. The topics that matter, dont matter to people, what matters is something entertaining that can ignite a "gang up" mentality and in unison, we can all laugh at one person. Or in some cases, fiercely defend them.

                    So youre telling me that you had to create a new topic on which to discuss something that been beaten to death, when you could have posted on one of 4 threads of the same subject already there? You are not the originator of this idea that "nobody cares about floyd" thus, why clutter the board with more tabloid esque thread, when you could be discussing something relevant? Either that, or its YOU who cares about floyd, his nonsense, and his moronic antics, to the point of which you wish to BOOST his relevancy by making yet, another topic about him. Think about what the *** your doing, and you tell me "nobody cares about him" on this board, because clearly you do. Most of your post are complete trash for the most part, and making this topic doesnt change my opinion, logically speaking, 99 percent of americans dont care about floyd, place yourself in that 0.01 percent since you made this redundant topic.

                    Either that, or just tell us something we DONT KNOW already about floyd mayweather jr.
