    UK+US money.

    Mayweather-Hatton sold 950k in the U.S., but it sold 2 million PPV's on Sky Sports in the UK. Hatton had the luxury of getting big rights to the UK PPV money, but that won't be the case for Khan, he is not on the level Hatton was in 2007. So if Mayweather-Khan pulls something like 800-1million Showtime PPV's and 800-1mill UK PPV's, that's anywhere from 1.6-2mill total PPV's sold and a whole lot of money for Mayweather cause he will take a large cut of everything.

      Notice you didn't say anything about the quality of opposition. You just mentioned the money. You are the problem. People who view Floyd's fights as some kind of fuc**ing event, rather than a great match up/competitive fight.

      You are the person who's going to shell out $70+ for the Maidana fight and continue to support Frauds lavish lifestyle, while he's giving you sparring sessions in return.

      And you know what I meant when I said "fights we want to see". But let me rephrase it:

      Fights TRUE boxing fans want to see. Not just high grossing fights. What the f**k does "highest grossing" have to do with anything if you're a boxing fan and want to see certain interesting match ups?

      But I wouldn't expect you to understand that. So because Floyd's fights make a ton of money, you're ok with him fighting anyone? Lame ass clown.

        Unfortunately a lot of posters are so brainwashed they actually believe they are part of this "TMT" team and feel if they try hard enough some of Floyd's money will find it's way into their pockets. That's why they're always talking about another man's money.

            Level of opposition was fine with me. He fought the best jr middleweight last time out. Fought a then top 5 welter before that. Before that, fought the #2-#3 jr middleweight. Before that, fought a then top 5 welter. Before that, fought the consensus P4P #3. Before that, fought the consensus P4P #2. Before that, fought a consensus P4P top 5. Before that, fought arguably the then top jr middleweight. Before that, fought the lineal welterweight champ. WTF else you want him to do?

            BTW, I've ordered one Floyd fight the last 5-6yrs, which is likely less than you.

            As for "real" fight fans, WTF does that mean? I mean, I never see you posting on any non-Floyd related threads. When's the last time you watched FNFs or Shobox? I'm a much bigger fight fan that you. Your entire boxing existance is based around hating one fighter. Mine is based around two decades of following the game close and following the guys you're just hearing about years ago when they were amateurs and prospects........asswipe.

                You can't be talking about me b1tch ass hoe. Because I don't give a f.uck about Floyd's money. The fact that he's fought in most of the highest grossing fights in history ****s on the illusion that you and your weirdo ass, fanatical ass dumbasses try and create that Floyd doesn't "fight the fights we wanna see." Because clearly, somebody is watching.

                  i notice how you didn't say any names only rankings because you know if you start spitting out names like ortiz and baldomir everyone will laugh at you.
