Cash Cow...How can a pure Boxer generated that much money?

Hypothetically He can't. He wasn't in there alone

Watch the Cotto-Shane fight..Shane was tired in the 5th round in that fight, but that didn't stopped him from throwing punches against Cotto..But with Floyd, he was tired and confused..How can you blame Floyd if Mosley was the one backing down?

You have a reading comprehension problem, huh

I never blamed Floozy for Shane's lack of activity. But, I blame Floozy for not steppin on the gas pedal even harder when the man was completely out of the fight already. Even Steward said that Shane was lucky Floozy wasn't going full throttle on his @ss.

You should know that Floyd is a very cautious fighter, and if he did tried to finish Mosley off, he would leave himself open enough for Mosley to sneaked in his left hook.. I don't believe the whole Mosley was completely tired bull, he was tired, but he was as tired as he was confused..

Funny how his PPV numbers are so over the top but his ticket sales are usually pretty low. I mean yeah it was the 10th highest revenue but he sold nearly 2000 less tickets than Manny vs Cotto....he still did $2.5mill more. Hell Manny vs Cottey had 50,000 in attendance n Floyd vs Oscar still earned more than $4million more. I wish they'd bring his ticket prices down a bit n let more ppl in, the Mosley fight had one of the worst crowds ever, it was all rich ppl that arent even real boxing fans with no ****ing enthusiasm outside of the rappers lol

Floyd's a ****ing phenom tho, no pure boxer generates that kind of money n he's not only the biggest cash cow since Oscar n Tyson but he's the best boxer I have ever seen (strictly boxing skill not saying all time time status)

See I think this is because Top Rank sell too many tickets too ticket brokers so they can call a fight sold out quicker. They were bragging about Pac Cotto being sold out when so many tickets were available through brokers. The fight would have sold out or come close to it even if they just let regular people buy them from ticket master IMO. They gate money would have probably been better too cause more people would have paid for tickets instead of brokers trying to get rid of excess. What ends up happening is people with potential interest in going to the fight hear Arum say its sold out so they leave it at that. They don't know they can go online and buy lots of tickets from a third party. I understand that all big fights sell tickets to brokers first but I think Top Rank goes a bit overboard just so they can call it a sold out house in a week.

Lol believe me if theres something Bob Arum knows how to do, its make money. He knows the business and that was the way he would make the most money

I don't disagree. I just think they like to do things like that for negotiating power in the future. But like I said Pac is a star. you don't need to do that for him to sell out the grand.

[American Dream]

he talks so much crap to his opponents to piss people off so they start to hate floyd and pay to see him lose.

Well khan/paulie better do atleast
1 mil ppv....if thats the case.

anyways..we already knew who the cash cow is...
To fight a guy who fought marg on reg. Hbo and was just set
To fight on there again just 4 months ago..no question who carried This fight.

[golden boxer]

mayweather won 23rounds against marquez #2 p4p and mosley #3 p4p that's what you call the true #1 p4p and he is also the cash cow of boxing

[Canadian Kid]

Solid Solid numbers




Much respect to Floyd Mayweather

No doubt about it. If people are saying that the only reason Floyd gets big numbers is because of his opponents drawing power, then why was a fight between two of the world's best welterweights, Mosley-Berto, going to be on regular HBO? Why wasn't that fight a PPV event?

Floyd is a spectacle. He's a show. Regardless what you think of him as a fighter, he sells. And when he finally fights Pac that's going to be one of the biggest non-team sporting events in history. You just can't feel sorry for the loser of that fight. Both Floyd and Pac will come off like fat cats.
