Floyd the ppv king fraud

i'm sure having canelo fight cotto's brother on the undercard helped a little.His fight against Mosley sold 1.4 million buys. More PPV buys than his fights against Ortiz, Marquez, Guerrero and Maidana. But yes, of coarse Mayweather will maximize profits fighting Latin fighters on certain holidays since the Latin audience carries the sport of boxing financially to an extent. However, what "brothas" made for a high demand and attractive fight for Floyd in the past few years? He fought Mosley and was set to fight Berto (who then lost to Ortiz). Maybe Paul Williams is the only guy that made for an intriguing fight since Floyd became a PPV draw but that's all I can think of.
that said..... floyd is better than ali and fought tougher opponents!

Lets put it this way, Floyd is an opportunist of the highest degree but I don't think he is a fraud. I think he has fought a whose-who of boxing and I blame him and Pac for their fight not happening. It's his outside the ring persona that has not endeared me to him as a fan. I was a fan for over 10 years from the Olympics on. But he put on the bad guy image for the Oscar fight, and has not taken it off since. And by doing that, he alienated himself from fans and top boxers with his antics and statements. Larry Holmes and Sugar Ray saw the bad side of him in person.Comment

Lol funny. Floyd's paid for ppvs have more viewers than other fighters free fights. Ppl do realize this right? There's really nothing that should ever be said about Floyd's ability to sell fights.Comment
