    If that's the case, then it has nothing to do with his fighting style.

    And its pretty ****ing funny how it was Floyd fans saying he was a draw because people want to see him lose but now it isnt? How exactly are you guys better fans than Pacquiao fans now?

      Think about what you guys are saying. You dudes are saying that even if Floyd wasn't selling the fights outside of the ring, he would still be getting 800K Plus PPV buys off of his fighting style alone. I mean SERIOUSLY. BE REALISTIC.
      You can say that for anybody. Poeple act like Floyd is the first giy in history to PROMOTE himself. Ali did it, SRLdid it, Tyson did it.

        Im not saying that. Im saying people still appreciate his greatness. Stop acting like that doesnt count for ****. He's a legitimate great fighter now and people will buy that. He didnt even talk **** against JMM or anything and they did a mil. Its not just that. You say Floyd fans cant say that but you also cant just act like everyone thinks he is boring garbage. You said that people need to think about what there saying but think about what youre saying. He's boring garbage but everyone cares so much that he gets KO that they buy it? Come on now. That **** dont make no sense. You also have to meet halfway

              I didn't say it was his fighting style although my mates enjoyed the JMM fight because of his defensive genius

              What do you mean better than Pacquiao fans? The fans who are against random drug testing

              **** anybody who loses $40 mil over a teaspoon of blood

                  I want to see Wlad lose. Ill never spend a dime to watch him lose.

                  Same with Calzaghe.

                  People dont pay $60 to see Floyd lose.

                    I see eye to eye with you a lot 25 but I think your a little off here. People understand how good he is and they tune in to see. When we go fight parties we have girls there who dont watch boxing. And the get impressed that he beats people without getting and hit and by wide margins. They want to see him again because they want to see can he keep this up. There are some casuals that want him to lose as well. As he has crossed over more and more it seems a lot of people just want to see how he does. The ones that wanted him to lose after watching the oscar 24/7 are around but in less numbers.

                      I love Floyd's style, he's very entertaining to me. I don't get the "boring" **** but i do understnd the "ducking" thing.
