    TS seriously thinks mayweather invented the "he doesnt sell argument"? thats hilarious

    for the record mayweather has been great for the sport, he is the only fighter today capable of bringing boxing into the limelight of the sporting world when he fights. he generates more interest than anyone else by far and is legitimate crossover superstar.

      Oh I already know the cards are going to be screwed. I hope they aren't though, I'm rooting for non corrupt judges.

        As gifted as Mayweather is his career will always be riddled with WHAT IF's...hes not the only fighter to pull numbers to validate a fight. Boxing is a business dictated by the "cash cow" nowadays.

          No, he is just one boxer so how can he ruin a whole sport with thousands of boxers all over the world? As far as him saying he won't fight a guy because the guy won't sell he is hardly the first guy to say that. Fighters don't have to have some perfect reason to "duck" another fighter. If they don't want to fight a guy they just don't fight him, simple as that.

            Well..Here is my humble opinion..I think He in a way have lowered its popularity..Here is why,i was watching marquez vs vasquez 3 last night and i was thinking,if i had 10 people who never have watched a boxing match who would ill take them to watch,mayweather style or more of a warrior style,btw the fight im talking about was a head first but a lot of tecnique,as where mayweather is a great defending oriented fighter..Here is the thing,dont tell me the sweet science is hit and dont get hit,because so many of my friends are put down with fight with may,ward and even rigondiux...I really think mayweather have def put a dent and has made boxing bringing new people...Once again this is my humble opinion.
