Comments Thread For: Mayweather Continues To Be The Centerpiece of Boxing

This is where you expose yourself as a new fan of the sport. Go back and check all the non-heavyweight PPV numbers over the years. New fans of the sport tend to think what Floyd and Manny have been doing is par for the course. Oscar was kinda the first non-heavyweight PPV star of my time as a fight fan. And Floyd is dwarfing what he did. Boxing is in a good place. And in terms of drawing power. Floyd may end "TBE" in that particular category.

Assuming makes an ass out of you, you don't know me. I'm 35 and I'm Puerto Rican so boxing has been a part of my life since I was born.. Hell I even have cousins in the pros. What your saying about heavyweight's is irrelevant to my comment that boxing's PPV numbers here in the states have been in decline recently. It's a fact, no need to get butthurt about it.

He's not the centre peace in boxing?

[Slick Veteran]

Fights like Pacquiao/Algieri huh? Yeah, if only Mayweather would go away so we can get those kinds of match ups.

I hear you

[MindBat]

Centerpiece yup.

Too bad he is a gimmick lol.

The richest gimmick in the sport. You'll miss him dearly when he's gone.

Good article Mark.

Mayweather doesn't care about his undefeated record like his detractors does. Mayweather will express at times that he is undefeated and when he do, Mayweather is stating a FACT, not a promise to stay undefeated.

i'm curious. I'm a fan of floyd's. But honestly, i don't give a rat's left ass cheek about what he does outside of the two hours a year he's in the ring fighting. Why do folks that don't like him spend so much time, even to the point that they're almost on a crusade to discredit everything he does in and outta the ring? Do i think floyd is a jackass outta the ring? All indications point to yes. If the opportunity presented itself to hang out with floyd, would i accept? Probably not. Do i think he's destined to go broke and end up alone? Yes. Do i care? Not a bit. For me, when floyd is finished with boxing or boxing is finished with him. He will join a list that includes the likes of sweet pea, tyson, toney, jones, and many others. Great fighters that i enjoyed watching and have fond memories of. But for the most part they're outta sight outta mind.

you make an excellent point,gotta admit,though...sometimes its entertaining to read the posts,the never ending arguing cracks me up.

yep...as long as he keeps boxing relative with his outta ring antics i don't mind.
