Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman: Watching Mayweather is 80-90% Boring

One Time is right

Floyd's the only fighter I know of to have a major A-List celebrity/sports athlete leave the arena during a fight.

And it was Tiger Woods during the Baldomir fight. Tiger was like **** this ****

The majority of that 800,000 pay to see if he will lose.
.

So you're psychic? Because that would be the only way you would know for certain.

I think it safe to assume that you are not pyschic so Im going with the assumption that people are paying their hard earn $70 dollars to see I don't know...a boxing match.

It doesn't take a psychic to know this, it's actually pretty damn obvious. A lot of people dislike Floyd. With an account from 2004 you should know that Floyd is one of the most controversial athletes today saying some dumbass **** that got people thinking "WTF?". Also, you claim he has many PPV buys, but his last fight with Maidana didn't even reach 1 million, and his fight with Saul reached 2 million partly because of the undercard consisting of Danny Garcia and Lucas Mathysse. You damn sure the fight vs Guerrero didn't reach 1 million exactly.

Most people say that?

Thurman has beaten at least two former world champions, he can't beat a current one until they give him a shot - and he's currently Floyd's mandatory.

I like Thurman quite a bit.

But he should pay closer attention when Floyd is fighting, he might learn something.

[HEND]

Thurman sounds like he is trying to diss and kiss Floyd's a$$ at the same time.

Or he just have a non black or white but a normal opinion about Floyd with pros and cons? I know that this is mostly unknown around these parts when the topic is Floyd but this would be the normal.

I'm not arguing PPV sells, it fluctuates depending on his level of opponent. What I am discussing is people paying to see him lose.

Two of my closes friends are Pac Man fans and they HATE TBE and they don't pay a dime for any of his PPV, it doesn't matter to them if he will los or not..they money goes to watch Pac Man box. He is controversial but and ?...that doesn't translate to PPV buys, it just makes people indifferent about him whether that positive or negative is up to debate.

Pac Man isn't controversial at all and he does good on PPV...I doubt people pay to see him lose since he's already lost. I think people buy PPV to watch two boxers in a boxing match.

^ Wasn't really talking about Pacquiao. I think some people also pay to see him lose, but not as much as Floyd because Floyd is that good. Also I forgot to mention Floyd gets booed a lot during his fights while the majority of the crowd in attendance chant his opponents' names. And he tries to wear Mexican colored gloves and shorts to get the Mexican support.

Understandable! That fight was horrible! But against Maidana it was watchable.
Thurmann is right though, against Maidana Floyd performed under his Level. Or maybe he is sort of over the hill.
