If Mayweather Isnt Exciting To Watch How Come He's The Biggest Cash Cow In Boxing?

[JM1]

Good point, but we should give credit where it's due and Mayweather deserves props for the amount of interest he brings into the sport of boxing.

i give credit to where its due but what i wont give him credit for beating a small lightweight who moved up to welter looking fat, weak and slow yet he cant KO

i also think that floyd is a draw, but not as big as he think he is

Mayweather is recognized as the best fighter in the world by most of the sports media. Casual boxing fans will always tune in to see a fighter like that, even if he doesn't have the most crowd pleasing style. His personality outside the ring definitely helps make him a draw. The hardcore fans either love him or hate him, but almost all of them watch him. Put those bases together and you have a fighter everyone wants to watch for one reason or another.

Thats true to an exstint Kev. They (fans) are paying to see him lose. But those fans are of his opponent. Of course they wanna see him lose. He can only do good with guys that have a good fan base. Berto isnt a big name in boxing. Nor can he sell out. If Mayweather was to fight him for a title. PPV would suck! HBO would have to pick it up. I wouldnt buy it. But I would SSM Mayweather.

And you're under the delusion that Pac could sell out a fight with Berto? To be honest, i don't think any fighter would draw a ton of interest fighting him but i know for damn sure more people would pay to see Floyd fight him then Manny "I have other people make my decisions for me" Pacquiao.

As far as the "it's because people wanna see him lose" arguement, while that may be true for a number of jealous fans who wanna see their favorite fighter beat him it's clearly not the driving force for people to shell out 60$ every time he fights in the middle of a recession. While their hate for Floyd may be strong and unhealthy, i don't think it's realistic to assume they're obsessed with him to the point of wasting that type of hard earned cash to see him fight especially when in the back of their minds they know he's probably gonna win.

Then maybe you'll give him credit after he KO's that overrated hype machine from your country because if they square off, i don't see it going past the 8th round.

boooooooooooooooooo!!!!

You really do need to stop post whoring,it's getting beyond a joke now.I can only hope that ever since february that you've been sat at home with a broken leg with nothing else to do except use the computer,then again such an injury should have healed by now and yet you still post to the amount that you do.


Do you have nothing better in life than to make such useless posts throughout the day?

Get a life,find a hobby and turn the computer off every once in a while,a fighter such as yourself should atleast go to the gym every now and then.

Some sleepwalk,I bet you sleep-type don't you?

posting comments all the while your asleep,unaware that you are doing so.

He does his thing and hes good at it,its the jab.

Out of his entire arsenal,the jab is hardly his most used or greatest weapon,are you sure you actually watch boxing?

PACQUIAO COTTO PPV will destroy FROID JR. JMM PPV.

Can you imagine how would PACQUIAO be big if he was AMERICAN?

I see that five months on bob Arum is still yet to release the offical numbers fo what Hatton-Pacquiao did and yet Mayweather-Hatton's numbers were released just a week or so after that fight

even if he doesnt KO pac, i will give him credit. actually, ill give him credit if he fights pac, shane, cotto, williams, clottey, or even berto no matter what the outcome is

Didn't Mayweather draw more sales when he fought De La Hoya, Hatton and Marquez than when Pacqiuao fought De La Hoya, Hatton and Marquez?

[Mr. President]

By a landslide.

and of course manny was the A side and Floyd was the B in all of their fights.

[mannyman]

He's good at promoting his fights - WWE and Dancing etc his bad boy persona and flashy lifestyle.

Purists appreciate the skill me included but I wouldn't say he's an exciting fighter.
