Is Mayweather Really a PPV Draw?

[Bigg Rigg]

He needs good dance partners. And Floyd fight parties are the worst! By the time it's the 6th rd nobody is really into the fight anymore. We watch but we start talking bout a bunch of other stuff. He's not going to knock anyone out and watch we saw in the first half Is what we will see in the second half.

[ElChino]

Didnt know Cotto and Mosley were from Mexico. I guess Floyd is not PPV material...

Azucar Mosley is Mexican dont know what you talking about and to be fair 90% of people buy cotto fights cause they want to see if FINALLY his wife ******* bust out her dress!

I know people who throw watch parties for Floyd fights...and they all f**king hate the **** out of him. They buy his fights hoping to see him lose. They all complain that his fights are boring as f**k (which they are) yet they get the fights anyways.

You'll get delusional ass motherf**kers on this site who say that the majority buy his fights to watch his greatness but that's a bunch of bull****. Most people hate the **** out of him and hate him so bad they'll drop 70 bucks just hoping to see him get KTFO. If he had Andre Ward's persona nobody would give a damn about him. His fan base would be Andre's. He's a villain and that's why he sells.

Exactly 100%

I throw fight parties EVERY PPV and no one roots for Mayweather except the few who try to show off in front of the bitchies and pretend they even watch the sport making themselves look like dumbasses during the match talking boxing lol but everyone else is rooting to see mayweather get his shit pushed in like broner. Hell even my black neighbors dont watch his fights they pop in just to talk they lil shit and clown but they dont even stay to watch the fights they just hear the results later on or the next day and talk they shit but they dont actually watch the fights lol motherfuckers rather play wii instead.

Mayweather does have a following but not nearly enough to support a PPV by himself.

He needs all the helping hands, spoon fed opportunities he can get to be successful and to his credit he been able to leverage his position in his favor to keep the appearance that HE IS ACTUALLY THE DRAW when he isnt.

It seems to me he always just attaches himself to a popular MEXICAN on a MEXICAN holiday

Arum himself said blacks, asians and whites don't by PPV, it's all about the MEXICAN's

I really doubt there are Mexican families sitting around saying "I can't wait to watch that negro again!"
They're obviously buying to watch their brothers

Cotto was the Puerto Ricans

Mosely is an anomaly, I'll admit

ts is trying to make a point that mexicans make him.

no matter how much you cut em, slice em and dice em, mayweather is the king of the sport. pacquiao ain't never touching a million buys again unless its against money may

I think a Pac-Cotto rematch or a Pac-Marquez rematch both do a million plus buys.

This one. Is Cotto fighting at 147 again?

I believe he Is at 154, but I think If he chose to come down and rematch Pacquiao(not at all likely) the fight would do a million plus buys.

so who is the draw? guerrero? mosley? ortiz? hatton? marquez? floyd is the biggest draw in the history of the sport. no fighter has more 1 million plus ppv than Floyd. not Oscar. not tyson

[TonitosWay]

Being the hated widely + an opponent with a prominent fan base + a good/demographically popular undercard or fighters = Floyd's huge ppv success

[bigsmoothh]

people will not accept this, floyd never is or was the draw he claims to be.
