That 1 million can bite Floyd back in the @ss

[josenoway]

some of you guys are like broken records - 'oh dear, he didn't KO de la hoya, nobody's gonna buy his next PPV'...'oh dear, he didn't KO Ricky in 2 rounds, like Pac did, nobody's gonna buy his next PPV'...'oh dear, he didn't KO JMM, nobody's gonna buy his next PPV'...

yet, all those fights did ridiculous buys.

Do you really not see the pattern to your whining?

people tuned in, but now they want floyd to fight the best... they aren't gonna settle for him fighting anymore LWs.

Its funny how the haters are saying the same thing after the Marquez fight that they said before the Marquez fight. Floyd's style has not changed in 39 fights. If people hated his style as much as you and others claim, he wouldn't be generating 1 million PPV.

He wouldn't be on PPV at all. No one slaps down $50 on a fight just for the hell of it. When was the last time you bought a $50 outfit just for the hell of it or paid $50 for a dinner out just for the hell of it or blowed $50 on a sporting event you did not want to see. The answer is NEVER. Floyd is the top star in the sport, whether the haters want to admit it or not. If Pac/Marquez outsells this fight, then you can argue this point, but not now.

Okay so what your saying is if the next fighter isn't a good fighter than he won't sell a million ppv orders... wow your middle name must be nastradamus lol

Also, this may be a head scratcher for the haters, but if Pacquaio beats Cotto and then Arum decides to put him in the ring with Amir Khan or some other stiff like David Diaz (150,000 PPV) as he had mentioned, Pac's fight won't sell on PPV either!!! Amazing!

you ****ers in your east coast bubble have NO ****ING CLUE how many mexican and mexican americans there are in this country..their probably the majority already lol.. and they all tuned in last saturday..The ones that ordered for floyd..ordered to see if hed lose (yes i know there are exceptions to any rule) but everyone and their mama is givin all the credit for the 1 million buys to may..dont get me wrong, im noone's nuthugger or hater and i dont give a **** about how much money these guys make or who has upper hand in negotiations (thats pathetic nuthuggery which im unable to understand because im an ADULT) Just surprised people in these pockets of america have no clue what the rest of the country is really like..and im not mexican either but at least i know whats up..

Only a dumbass would think that 1 million people would pay $50 to see someone lose, especially when are only about 20 boxing fans in the world who actually thought he would lose. They could have waited for the replay if they wanted to see that. ******ity knows no bounds!!!

you complain more than i've heard any casual fan complain.

trust me, there are plenty of casual fans who enjoy mayweather's elusiveness.

I'm not a casual fan and have never really enjoyed Floyd's fights. For as good as he is, he is quite dull to watch even if one enjoys the pure technical side of boxing.

So if even I think he is boring, I would imagine the poster of this thread is correct and casual fans don't care much for him either.

Mayweather is to boring to watch. He lacks the excitement of past greats like Leonard or Duran or hell dare I say even De la hoya.

Thats why he will never have the epicness of their times. Its a pity, because he could of had it but choose a style that doesn't offer it.

It was the Mexicans

Yes. Right. Its funny how HBO had no confidence in those Mexicans buying an PPV involving Marquez and Diaz or Marquez and Casamayor and only 400,000 people (Mexicans included) tuned in to watch Marquez/Pac II. So sometime between Pacquaio and Mayweather, Marquez pick up 999,000 Mexican fans who were willing to shell out $50 to watch him get his ass whipped by Mayweather.
