Boxing needs Floyd.that's reality.

[Ryannn]

Yet he fights SSM and generates this type of hype for boxing among the casual fans stop acting like a scorned female and get over that pacquiao ****

hype is good. but delivering a good fight is better

floyd vs. shane has a very good chance of being a snoozefest. it could turn off potential fans.

just like floyd-dlh

[gqjohnb]

floyd retired twice.

both times, nobody gave a ****..

boxing doesn't need floyd.

In the year floyd left didn't UFC have higher #'s than boxing?

[mushahadeen]

The IRS needs Floyd.

[Samski313]

the de la hoya fight turned off some potential boxing fans...

floyd talks, but he fails to deliver. at least now when he went mainstream.

Which fight turned off more potential boxing fans Dlh vs Mayweather or Clottey vs Pacquiao?

[poeticlsykuac]

This is so ridiculous, PBF is terrible for the sport. When he does PPV fights people swear off buying them. PBF may be skilled and may have a mouth, but any real boxing fan hears the announcers say there are plenty of good fighters who PBF can fight. I mean seriously running from Baldomir? His performance against old DLH was at best terrible, some people still had Mayweather losing that because he ran. I heard a upper middle class black man say that ****er ran the whole time he deserved to lose, and his whole family felt that way.

He has a very boring style and because of that he doesn't help boxing. People fell into UFC because they brawl more. We need more Gatti-Ward style fights. We need more wars not technical fights. Ali went to war, where do you think the rope a dope came from?

Mayweather is just another liar who makes promises he isn't willing to keep. To bad to because all he would have to do is mix it up may be 5 times through out the fight for 30 seconds and the fight would be perceived differently. Nope not even willing to risk it once.

i guess both did.
but dlh vs may turned off more fans, since both have big names, pac showered all that he got during the clottey.
