    You pay to watch him= dollars in his pocket whether you wanted to see him lose or not.

      I just do not get the competition!!! Why cant people like both fighters??? Why do we have to like one and kill the other??? Its not like we have a lot of elite boxers at the moment to choose from, I like them both but would pick Mayweather over Pac if they get in the ring and fight.

        It's a sport my dude. Same as Red Sox fans who hate Yankee fans. It doens't mean they don't like baseball though..

          It's funny how Mayweather is labeled as a duck, a boring fighter, this, that, and the other. Yet somehow, in his last 3 fights he managed to do huge numbers:


          • vs Juan Manuel Marquez - 1 mil



          • vs Ricky Hatton - 850k



          • vs Oscar De La Hoya - 2.4 mil



          For people that say he's boring or "Nobody wants to see him fight such and such", 4.25 million people disagree!






          -First things first. Let's get the excuses out of the way-

          "Mayweather was being carried"

          -Really? By the guys he "cherry picked"??? Please show me where Marquez has done anything close to those kind of numbers.

          "People only buy Mayweather PPV's to watch him lose."

          -Lose to who? The guys people said were "cherry picked , tailor made" opponents? First they say, they're cherry picked, but you pay $50 to watch him lose to his "tailor made" oppenent?

          "Those are dumb casual fans who pay to see him lose"

          -No. Casual fans don't know enough about Mayweather to know about his bad guy persona and to want him to lose that badly...

          Note: If you're buying FMJ ppv's to watch him lose, save your money.

          Face it. People like to watch Mayweather and appreciate his style. They know they are watching greatness. For those who say Mayweather contradicts himself take a look in the mirrior. Ex:

          Typical Floyd hater: Mayweather is boring to watch.

          Casual fan: I like his skills. He's never been beat and has dominated his opponents.

          Typical Floyd hater: Bull****! I scored the first Mayweather vs Castillo for Castillo. The Oscar fight could have gone either way! Judah had him in trouble in the early rounds.

          ^^^ Wait so he's boring but you took the time to watch those fights. All the way back to the JLC fight? lol. AND probably watched it more than once so you could score it right!?


          Bottom line: You made Mayweather the star he is today

          WTF is going on in this world. Why the hell are Floyd fans so concerned with how much a fight sells? It's completely bizarre.

          Personally I don't care if he sells 10 billion PPV's, it makes absolutely no difference to my opinion of him as a fighter. The guy is a disgrace to boxing, he attracts shallow morons as fans and my opinion will never change no matter how many PPV numbers he does.

          I'm surrounded by lunatics.

            yes but sports like baseball, football and basketball are reinforced by geographic locations in a way boxing is not.

              My point is alot of people that share your opinion are directly responsable for his success.

                What about the fact that most Pacquiao fans are Filipino, Cotto fans Puerto Rican, so on and so on

                    Not that I care but why for? I didn't say anything offensive. I always argue my point the best I can.
