I'd buy it in HD, but no way is Mayweather fighting that guy
How many PPV would Mayweather vs. Lara sell?

Casuals don't listen to experts and those so called experts are idiots/bias most of the times.Comment

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Who cares if it doesn't crack half a mill?? I don't work for GB or Showtime. I don't roll with Floyd so I don't care how much his ppv sells. Lara is a great opponent compared to Khan and Maidana.Comment

500-750k.
Lara is not mex and not "exciting." It would be similar to Lara v. Trout. I enjoyed that fight, but I could see a lot of casual fans not wanting to watch it.
People are overrating Lara's "threat factor" and how that would translate to sales.
It's mayweather's toughest fight outside of Martinez.Comment

The "pay to see Floyd lose" buys only go so far.
It only works when the opponent is somebody casuals want to see win. So even though they want to see Floyd lose, they don't want Lara to be the guy to do it.
They would rather their favorite guy do it. Which is how Floyd makes millions for sparring sessions.Comment

only way that would happen if it lara fights canelo and whoops him, that makes him a bigger name. problem is, canelo is currently borrowing floyd tactic and saying "lara who" and will prolly fight angulo,molina,kirkland,maidana etc.
why are pac fans against this? floyd-lara is 50-50 by the time it may happenComment

It would do Maidana numbers but Floyd doesn't do high risk low rewards, and why should he at this stage in his career?. He has made it clear and is proud of the fact that his matchmaking is based on what is best for him not the fans why would he fight someone who is more of a threat when he can getaway with feeding us either of the 2 **** sandwiches he wants people to eat.Comment
