Pacquiao doesn't need "personality"...Floyd does.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Nothing wrong with a fighter promoting themselves.

Ali did it, SRL did it, Hearns did it, Tyson did it, SRR did it.

and people loved them........floyd?.....not!

There is no problem with this thread i mean:
1) This guy is a ******* (Don't need to say nothing about it )
2) He misses a Murderer,cares more about a boxer more than the victims of the murder.
3) He supports a cheater, a guy can't win a fight with his talent, only with his weapons
4) He's a Floyd Hater

Nope nothing wrong with the guy

and people loved them........floyd?.....not!

No. People hated them.

In retrospect, people love them.

He isn't a *******, he created the word. He just dislikes Floyd.

Marg never cheated. hola puerto rico!

floyd fans would rather watch and talk about 24/7 than floyds actual fights itself.

"floyd said he's a gorilla and a dog on 24/7! he's a ****in genius! omg lets make an internet crew about it and jerk each other off!"

Floyd knows what he's doing. He knows how to sell a fight. I'm not a fan of his behaviour and i think what we see is the real mayweather, with slightly hammed up behaviour for the camera's sake. But his skills are undeniable. I'm gonna say without his onscreen performances, he doesnt sell nearly as much ppv's, gates etc. His fights are great if you're a fan of watching near perfect technical displays, but that doesn't draw in the casual fan and that's not every hardcore fans cup of tea, his personality and how he sells the fight does.

Think back to Roy jones jr, one of the most talented fighters of this era. He was undeniably talented, he won fights in dominating fashion. But in his prime, a lot of casual fans had no idea who roy jones jr was. I might be wrong, but i think his first ppv was the griffen rematch, and i think that was on a weekday or something. I was always a big fan of his, but found myself a little bored from time to time with his fights. Same with mayweather earlier in his career, i knew a lot of people who had no idea who he was prior to his fight with Gatti. His talent was hard to ignore, but i found myself slightly bored during some of his fights.

That's not a put down on either fighter, i respect what both do and have offered to the sport. I think mayweather is very aware of what sells a fight.

I agree with you. If it had not been for the 24/7 show, Mayweather/Mosley would have only sold 700K like Pac/Clottey and not the 1.4 million it did sell. However, without the tons of publicity over OST with Mayweather that immediately preceded the Clottey fight, Pac/Clottey would have sold 400,000 at most.

haha, silly people

[pasawayako]

Pacquiao doesn't need HBO or a 24/7 to sell fights like Floyd does.

Without 24/7, Floyd sells 350k maximum.

Everyone knows this to be true.

See Judah fight.

LOL, so true. I have to wonder if floyd could sell and sold out his fights without the help of american media to hype his own fights.

I've been stalking this forum for days. It's sad to see there aren't many non childish threads to post in.

Are there any adults here?
