...with a Tecate beer in-store promotion
...and sells 1.3 million PPV buys.

What's wrong with that statement? Several things
1) floyd is not Oscar. Floyd took the mantle FROM Oscar. Floyd is NOW the "ppv king', or whatever
2) Floyd could sell 400K vs collazo. But why sell 400K vs collazo when you can sell 1.2 million vs a bigger name opponent? HBO reduced the NUMBER of PPV's so that the INDIVIDUAL ppv's would do higher volume.
3) Oscar was past his prime for yory boy?! How short was Oscar's prime exactly?! Didn't Oscar 'beat" Shane after he fought Campos?
IMO Oscar prime was from 96-2001. When do you consider Oscar prime? And, again I thought Shane won the rematch.
I want to throw some questions out there to see if you think rationaly.
Do you think the postponement helped the PPV #'s? If Floyd would of fought JMM in July it would of done a million buys or doing around Mexican Independence day helped the PPV #'s?
Do you think the Tecate rebate didn't do anything positive for the PPV #'s
Did JMM sold a bulk of the PPV when he drank his own piss? I am only asking cuz when that happend it was all over TV. Talk shows was talking about it. Sportcenter, PTI, even outside the sport world was talking about it.
And, last one did Floyd take that mantle from Oscar as PPV king or HBO 24/7 take it? Look at Floyd 3 PPV #'s without 24/7 and look at his 3 PPV #'s with 24/7?
Remember Oscard did not have 24/7 with Trinidad, Hopkins, Vargas, and Mayorga. What if Oscar had 24/7 with those fight could he have done way crazier type of #'s?
And, honestly I don't know much Tecate rebate helped or if it helped at all. I just wanted to have your take on it.Comment

I wouldn't call it LW power at WW, but you are right his power hasnt carried as well, but Floyd has great accuracy so doesn't need as much power.Comment

And, here is a question for every Mayweather nuthugger. Why do you guys think everytime anybody question's Floyd they are hating? I can only speak for me. And, honestly I don't hate on dude. I use to be a fan of his. But I realize he was never going to fight no real comp. So I stop being a fan. But, I never started hating on him. I just question him and his moves like I question other fighters who has dodged and ducked opponents. They are Floyd fans who I respect and come with good points but also call him on his BS. But, you nuthuggers would give him a pass for taking the path of least resistance. And, for the life of me I can not understand why.Comment
