    Yet here you are swinging your **** one way, so look in the mirror broham those in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.

    How many people out of the 900k you think bought the fight to see Santa Cruz against a no-hoper, or see the Mares_Ponce fight which is good but hardly a big seller. Or the star that MGM just gives dates to and that Showtime paid a fortune to get. Boxing is a star driven business, the stars account for most of the interest.


    You are a boxing fan, but you ain't no different than anyone you talk about.
    Well that's where your mistaken. I'm not swinging my d1ck in any direction. I'm just stating the obvious that it takes a lot more than just Floyd on a card to create these huge numbers. I'm just stating that for a **** undercard manny and tim didn't do too bad. I have no vested interest in manny or Floyd or their numbers. Only in watching great fights.

          I don't agree, the star is the one who means the most. Look at the graph Cotto, Mosley and Hatton are all bigger than Bradley but not as big as Manny, all those fights did similar gates because of Manny.

          The star is the selling point, or do you think Arum is wrong about what sells?

          Here is the thing about great undercards, the hardcore fans like them but you more than likely already have their interest with the main event so either way they are buying. You may gain a bit of ethic support, but once again how many would be interested anyway. You might get a slight bump but you would basically be talking a rounding error.

            Certain fans need to find a new hobby if you care this much about the numbers. Seriously.

              Bradley just doesn't seem like someone who would ever be a big draw, his style is all over the place, he has the personality of a cardboard box, and even though he was in some very exciting fights, his opponents were the ones who brought the excitement while he just survived to close decisions.

              Cotto, Mosely, etc fights were much more exciting coming in. I'm not surprised.

                Why shouldn't fans talk about the numbers. PAC fans for years went on how PAC was the cash cow and supposedly did better numbers than Floyd. Now that the facts come out PAC fans say numbers don't matter. They don't to me but don't act surprised when people start to rub it in and laugh at all the lies

                  I 90% agree. But I'm gonna have to get back to this one later. I'm getting busy, sorry.

                    That's why Golovkin is at #3 still. All he needs is a name or two (if they grow the balls to fight him that is which is the problem) and he takes Mayweather spot.
                    So Mayweather dominating Canelo is nothing compared to Pac's win over Bradley?
                    And GGG turned down a fight with Ward to accept a fight with Chavez Jr. That sir is a duck.

                      For years huh? That's cool. I don't think Pac's ever consistently beaten out Floyd's PPV #s in order to call him the cash cow. And I think it's sad that anyone REALLY cares about the numbers that much. Pac and Floyd fans included.

                      What lies? Pac's never consistently beaten out Floyd in terms of PPV numbers, I don't think at least. I think you just like making yourself look like you're being justified in ****ting on Pac like you always do, because that's your hobby.

                      Calm yourself down with all this hating. Damn, son.
