    The sad thing about those smart business decisions is that they involve choosing the opponents gloves. That shyt don't go down well with the fans.

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.
      i'm sure having canelo fight cotto's brother on the undercard helped a little.

      that said..... floyd is better than ali and fought tougher opponents!

        the majority of fans wouldn't give a **** if Floyd's name wasn't involved.

          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.

              People didn't buy that ppv to watch Canelo or Cotto's brother.

                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.

                      Canelo has had 2 ppv's on his own and together they do not add up to 1 million
