Did you guys ever think that Floyd might actually be injured, duh. It is a contact sport! He's coming of a near 2 year layoff and coming back at the age of 32, injuries do happen especially when the sport involves striking someone.
None of us have any concrete evidence that Floyd and Schaeffer are either telling the truth or telling lies.
I don't know how much of Floyd's popularity has dwindled since he retired. But, it just seems that Floyd never really had a strong fan base, sure, people took notice of him because he's an amazing athlete. But he didn't seem to have the kind of supporters that PAC has, even here in the States.
I can't see how Floyd - JMM is gonna sell more than PAC - Flattened. PAC has a huge backing from the Filipino community here in the States and Flattened was the same way/and he has thousands of people flying over the Atlantic just to watch him fight. Neither Floyd or JMM have that kind of fan support, so, even though I think Floyd-JMM PPV will do fine, I just don't see it topping PAC-Flattened.
And another thing I'd like to point out. I was in Vegas for the 5/02/09 fight. Everyone in the media and on this site kept talking about Flattened's throng of supporters flying in from the UK. But, one thing that I observed in Vegas, was PAC's surge in popularity.
Everyone kept talkin' about how many more Brits were actually at the fight compared to Filipinos. Yes, this was true, . But no one mentioned how many non-Filipinos were also at the fight rooting for Manny. That was one thing that surprise the hell out of me.
Back then, it was like 99% Filipinos that would show up for PAC fights. For the Flattened fight, the small(if you call it that) Filipino presence at the venue was made up for new PAC fans.
So if someone were to ask me, were there more Brits at the MGM compared to Pinoys, I'd say, the place was overrun by Brits. But if you asked me, if there were more Flattened fans than PAC fans at the MGM, I'd say it was near d&mn even numbers. That tells y'all that PAC's popularity has gone beyond the Filipino community.Last edited by We want Floyd; 06-21-2009, 01:31 PM.Comment

If this is true, Floyd must have been in real bad shape. I don't have any proof of anything so I wont comment on the matter but I do remember how bad Floyd was doing against Spadafora during sparring when Floyd was just coming back from a lay off and Paul was about to fight and had been in training camp about 8 weeks or so. But I would really like to see the footage, and I find it sort strange that no one has come out and said, 'I AM THE ONE WHO TOUCHED UP FLOYD'S BODY' sparring or not, those are braggin rights.
Maybe it was Charlie Z or Vinny Paz

I don't think thats the Goal. I think they want it to sell more than Pac vs JMM. Floyd hatton from what we know sold more than pac hatton so it makes sense that he would want to sell more against common opponents that him and Pac have fought for negotiating leverage.Comment

Bro, you've had one too many of that ****** juice(st ides). Of course it's not their goal, but, I just don't see how Floyd - JMM can top the PAC-Flattened numbers. Is it impossible, no.
You have to remember, Juanita was never a PPV draw. Floyd was, but with PAC-Flattened, both fighters were huge attractions.Comment

Look, the promoter said sales were good. Why would the promoter of the fight have any reason claim high ticket sales if they weren't. I guess this settles it.Comment
