Could it actually be a bad thing for a million+ people to have ordered Floyd-Marquez?

        1. that means that a lot of casual fans watched a fight that in most peoples eyes was not entertaing and one sided
        2. for those fans who were on the fence between UFC and boxing this just pushed them over to UFC.
        3. THe casual fans are the ones that generat the money for the sport and they are going to be turned off on buying another mayweather fight

        I saw the fight with my girls family and they are all super super casual fans. They thought the fight was **** and they thought mayweather was a ussy for picking on a smaller slower guy. They said they would neer order another Mayweather fight. I had no influence on what they said I was very interested how they viewed it.

        On a side note Reed
        I will never watch another big fight with Casual fans
        EVER!
        they have a 60 inch plasma and surround sound
        but I had to sit 4 feet away from the tv so I could hear?
        WTF???
        Anyone who says that fight "******" clearly knows nothing about boxing. I can't blame you for not wanting to watch a fight with those people again, but dont believe that they will never order a Mayweather fight again. Anyone who ordered this will not be able to resist ordering Floyd v Pac.

          I think fans, if nothing else, will appreciate and understand how talented FMJ is.

            Yea, that's it exactly it. If anything it displayed to the casual fan how skillful Mayweather actually is...its a precursor to hype surrounding a Pacman vs Mayweather bout.

            Everyone knows about Pacman with all the media craz behind him...Pacman - Mayweather will do amazing numbers.

            ...only problem is, can Pacman get by Cotto?

              THE FIGHT ******!!!! And i clearly know the sport of boxing!!!! It can be said whoever thinks this fight was great is a idiot and clearly knows nothing about the sport.
              Will i watch or buy a fight with Floyd in it...depends on who he fights...Pac or Mosley yes. Anyone else *** NO!!! Why pay to see him duck! I will only Pay to support SSM or PAC. If SSM vs Berto was on PPV id Pay to see it over SAY Floyd vs BERTO! You yourself even said you were not impressed on one of your post!

                  I disagree. A black eye for the sport is the inactivity of mainstream boxers. Any Floyd Fight is better than not fighting at all. Floyd 1 fight in 21 months, Bernard 0 fight in 15 months, Shane 0 fight in 11 months, Pavlik 1 fight in 15 months. I was there live and I was screaming at FLoyd to KO him for his Legacy but the truth be told Floyd isn't an aggresive boxer he is a master technision of the sport.

                    im just not sure how the casual fan feels about it... sure they ordered the fight... but after the fight, did they feel it was worth it to them?
                    I have often been alone in admiring good boxing reguardless of the bright lights and big names. This past weekend was way different. I sat to watch the fight with a couple of friends and my sister who is the most casual type of fan. This was only her second time seeing Mayweather. She was just as impressed as I was with what seemed close to a perfect boxing exibition. I dont think we give the casual fan enough credit. This level of skill will be marveled by all fans. It automatically drew the most important question that a casual fan can have,"Who is he fighting next?". At this point May cant lose(monetarily) and neither can boxing as a whole.

                      It was OK. I would not be surprised if some casual fans found it somewhat lacking in excitement for the simple reason that my gf ignored it even though she was in the same room. She never normally does this. She also said Floyd is a bully. LOL.
