Is Mayweather the Draw or is HBO's 24/7 the draw?

[Guest]

I hear that alot but the thing is, I've never hated a fighter to a point where I'm gonna waste $49.95 or $60 to see him lose.

People are funny that way, Dom. They talk about people they hate more than the ones they love.

I mean look at all those shows on Hitler. Frickin history channel will have hours of stuff on hitler and nobody liked him.

To say Mr boat buyer ain't a draw is simply wrong. Why this obsession about drawin power anyway? Who gives a ****? Just enjoy the damn fights.

i agree.

what high risk opponents, is he the one who fought Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley?

dude was being sarcastic.....but what good bargging about fighting those opponents, when you basically lost to 2 out of the three?

this was floyds return bout...of course it would sell well

**** that...if cotto retired, and came back, he wouldn't do a million with anybody....

24/7 definitely helps, but Mayweather is a top draw in boxing, like it or not.

end of thread....

You're a fan of Floyd though

People genuinely want to see Floyd knocked out, and they feel that they can't miss it so they pay money in hope that they can see history

Its amazing what an undefeated record mixed with some trash talk can do

Like J said, people are ****** like that, its a waste of money

cotto aint floyd,doesnt have his drawing power,never been p4p#1,nor the face of the sport..why did you even compare the 2??

Oh really then how come other HBO 24/7 didn't sell well. Someone already owned you in this thread, Calzaghe/Jones after 24/7 did like 200k+ buys.

LOL guess we have a winner: FLOYD.

RJJ is almost 40 lol....even the general public knows better....

:haha1: so you're admitting that the general public then knows better that Floyd is the best and the biggest draw since they obviously bought his fight?

"Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather’s destruction of Hatton in December of 2007 did over 900,000 PPV buys, some tens of thousands more, it would appear, than did Pacquiao’s destruction of Hatton a few weeks ago."

Floyd/Hatton owned Pacman/Hatton. How do you explain that?



I guess you're right. The general public knows who is better.

i compared the 2, b/c if you go back and check the posts, somebody was trying to be funny by saying floyd is a draw b/c he fights top competition like margarito, clottey, and shane..........an obvious reference to cotto....

so i responded by saying, cotto, to me, lost 2 of those 3 fights....your post, i thought u insinuated that floyd only did well, IF the ppv #'s i'm hearing are accurate, b/c it was his return bout....so i responded by saying, if cotto retired, and came back, he wouldn't do high numbers....

basically i meant, floyd is a draw now....retirement or not. the cotto reference wasn't to you, it was to the cotto nuthugger trying to be funny.

neither Pac or Hatton are American, keep up

I will just say that this was one of themost higly promoted fights in a while and also the coming out of retirement fight. Will see if he maintains it down the road. He's no Oscar on the money tip.
