Poor Showtime. They'll go broke in no time with this fake PPV king. They're spending more than they make with this guy. He has to be promoted heavily and supported with expensive undercards. He's supposed to make them truckloads of money on his own. It's like buying a ref without a freezer. You still have to buy it separately. No wonder they're not producing fights as fast as they should. They're putting all their eggs on this guy's basket. They want Pac, but this guy is playing his Arum card. Poor Espinoza.

Where the hell is Matthysse, Guerrero, Ortiz, Berto, and many others? Where's the so-called deep division? It seems to be in name only.

Showtime is still looking for funds in prep for Floyd's another expensive fight. His $40 million guarantee alone will make any network nervous.

Subscribers are not getting their money's worth.

No doubt. They're most likely getting ready for the Khan announcement.
The presscon, then the statewide tour that costs millions of dollars.
They have no time and money for other fights. Their focus is on the
fake PPV king.

Subscribers are not getting their money's worth.

Nyahahaha thats hilarious, when does marquez became great and legendary? just because he KO pacquiao, without that hes just a mexican boxer, nyahahhaa twas even a fluke KO. Its more because Pacquiao just wanting to entertain those who paid to see him fight he committed the grievous mistake not because Marquez is that great, it is because of pacquiao's mistake not because he bested him. for three fights he cannot even dent pacquiao then getting a strength "angel" all of a sudden he was Samson and he was hercules. That win by Marquez will just become a footnote to the true legendary run of the Destroyer Pacquiao.

Your an idiot if you think Marquez isnt a legend... Nothing Fluke about that KO. He dropped Manny a couple rounds before with the exact same punch...

Its cool tho... you LOVE Manny. I like Manny but you LOVE him.

SO here's your final four Fraudweather:


May 2014: Marcos Maidana

September 2014: Manny Pacquiao

May 2015: Gennady Golovkin

September 2015: Andre Ward


Four of those four finalist you can't beat, and don't have the ballz to climb in the ring with... but you'll have several excuses for why you'd rather fight Amir Khan, Paulie Mags, Devon Alexander, and Vinnie Pazienza who is 52 now.

LMFAO!!!! Good one.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Why are y'all so naive. You really think this guy is going to retire before he beats Marciano's record of 49-0??? Better yet, did y'all think he would retire TIED with him?

Is there any Showtime boxing this month?
How about next month? Man, this network is broke.
March is PPV. May is PPV. Nothing for subscribers.

1.The 24/7 series that he helped get off the ground..That now helps young fighters connect with the boxing fans around the world..

2.The all access series that does the same thing, also help get off the ground by Mayweather..

3.How much attention has Floyd brought to the sport, hell he's still bringing attention as we speak..

4.How much money has Floyd made not only for himself but for the sport as well?? The dude is involved in two of the biggest ppv of all time..

You mentioned Floyd sucker punching a sucker..This is boxing,a sport you don't play bro..Ortiz made his bed, I took no issue with what Floyd did..I actually was happy he did it..Ortiz obvious head butt was the true disgrace not the punch by Floyd IMO..

Mayweather is no saint, but hell neither was Ali Leonard Duran etc etc, does that mean that they are not atg fighters, it also does not mean they are not classy..What Broner did to Paulie M was classless..I've never seen Floyd do anything like that, Floyd IMO has been class act..Don't mistake out spoken for not having class..

You may not agree with anything in this post or the last one..Which is the reason I said your mind is made up..Not a bad thing, its your opinion bro..

One more thing, Mayweather opponents have been as good as anybody in these past yrs..Oh and the Khan fight has not been finalized yet..You don't even know ofthat'swho he's fighting next..

Well this is a much better response than the last one. Props for that. I def don't agree with everything, but at least it's well thought out.

Floyd was there at the start of 24/7 but didn't invent it like he says. It's a marketing tool that he benefited from. It was the marketing tool he used to embrace his villainous side. It does help sell big fights, but only uses known fighters. All access is just a ripoff, and isn't any where as good. Probably Common's voice. It doesn't compare to Liev (who works for showtime and HBO)

Most of those ATG you mentioned weren't saints and shouldn't be expected to be. They were and are a whole lot classier than Floyd. For as good as a fighter as he is, you can't say he's respectful to really anybody. Showing respect is one part of class. Being a little humble is a part of class. Being honest about things is part of class. Floyd shows no respect, isn't humble and talks in circles. Constantly showing off all your money isn't classy. Bragging about your possessions isn't classy. Grinding your hips in a fighter's wife's face during her husbands fight in front of your entourage while they laugh is as juvenile as it gets. Especially if your the promoter.
For as much good as you say he's done for the sport, simply not making the Pac fight is def a huge negative. Sure Manny has some blame for that, but over the last 5 years, the majority is def on Floyd's shoulders.Floyd is boxing's biggest star, but Manny is the only one close to his level. He might not be on it, but he wants to fight. Floyd doesn't. People will not let him forget it even tho he will tell them they should.
Cancelling in Africa the other day was pretty bad too.
Oh, Ortiz may have been at fault for getting suckered, but it was still a sucker shot. Legal but cheap. Regardless of the butt, the dude was apologizing, albeit for like the 3rd time.

Yes the 25th.

Considering you're an alt you'll go back to posting on your main, and making alts to hype up hype jobs or hate on established fighters like you've been doing.

Huh.?

The only thing Floyd established is his greatness in cherry picking and ducking real prime threats. ( cotto, margarito, pacquiao, prime Mosley, Kostyra tzsyu, 140 hatton)

Didnt you know why 24/7 was created? It was merely for marketing floyds fights, it was that boring that hbo get to have 24/7 to promote his out of the ring antics. But well it paid of and is good for fighters.
