Boring to casual fans because they don't understand why he wins so easy , brilliant to boxing fans because then know what it takes to do what he does , greatness !

When you see a champion racehorse that is just too good and beats everything real easy it becomes a major major attraction .

People like to see excellence , lots of times it takes a bit for that to be seen but when it arrives and nobody doubts it , then it becomes the best and people jump onboard .

With Floyd you also have the marketing of the bad boy image and this secured the people that don't like him and want to see him beat , so he gets both sides of the fence paying to see him win and lose .

Talent+Skills+Winning+Oscar=2013 Popularity

300K+ was pretty good when HBO and Top Rank were over-saturating the PPV market. Floyd started gaining real momentum when he fought Zab and had Jay-Z and Diddy attending his fights. The exposure from the Oscar fight shot him into another stratosphere.

I am pretty sure hard work and dedication which has resulted in WINNING has played a part...lol

Anyway:

1. Undefeated
2. Mouth and business plan (Money)
3. Fight with DLH
4. He's comfortable playing his villain role that people pay to see

Some guys just have it regardless of whether an individual likes his style or not.

Floyd is only boring to fanatics of all creeds. Casual and true boxing fans know the deal. There wasn't anything boring about last Saturday night.

real talk, honestly believe if it wasnt for his mouth..nobody would watch him

his style, to majority of people is boring

in addition, i reckon if ward was a wild trash talker, people would tune in although his style sucks as well

n rigo could speak english, same thing

i guess the main thing is talking and backing it up

To be honest he isn't and I'm a ice hard fan. Floyd has to have a fighter that immensely popular to have a great PPV account. It's not because he doesn't deserve to be popular. It's because us African Americans don't get behind our fighters like the Mexicans and Spanish speaking population does. Mark my word Floyd needs to fight these guys in his last four fights to make a big PPV Manny, Khan and right now unless he rematches cotto or Canelo he is at a loss for partners with an upside to turn in a big PPV. I forgot Chavez but that goes without saying because he is Mexican.

Alot of people follow Floyd but not like you think. He's popular worldwide just not with a big following like the guys I mentioned.

The perfection of his craft and his persona.

the only reason why people watch batman is for joker to fck him up.

think about it.

Yeah, it's very rare that a boring, defensive boxer gets to make millions of dollars.

People think he's a ***** and can be beaten.
