The Racket Squad: Best Ever My Ass

FM:
A great boxer who found an even greater hustle in the thinnest Welter gene pool of this century.
Combine that with a network throwing him 32 million per contest and what do you really have?
You have a guy that does not need to take on challenges that great fighters do.

Mayweather is simply that preverbal spoiled and greedy rich kid, boasting of eternal greatness and refusing to take on even the most prominent name of this generation.

He has hit women with more ferocity than opponents.
The man is a ruthless, paraniod coward.
This says a great deal about a sport that anoints him the 'highest paid athlete' on this globe.

A Khan fight won't produce many buys over here.
Alvarez could not beat 'Money' in the ring but will force his hand out of it.
He will finally take on Pac, especially when Canelo seeks a Golovkin matchup next Sept.
CBS is not going to go quietly into the Mayweather Goodnight.
They want their profit margin pointing toward a deal well executed.

Floyd's farewell party ain't gonna be as joyous an event as he may have anticipated.

Best Ever My Ass.

I'm betting that you're using "irony" out of context.

I thought the "Vote with your dollars" was already in full effect for retards ... Still and in spite, Floyd's numbers hover well above 850,000 PPVs, plus great theater numbers, plus closed circuit numbers and finally live gate sell-outs per fight. So, I guess Floyd doesn't need morons\retards to buy his PPV's.

Knew it was too close to home for you to see it.

That's ok.

By all means, continue your strange rant.

I think that 772k mentioned by Flores is inflated as well. The real PPV buys on the last Floyd bout is around 500K (+/- 25K).

[al-Xander]

Even the 2.2 million in the Canelo fight is way over inflated. Hard to believe 1.2 million more homes would shell out $70 each in these economic times. That's 1,200,000 more. Even 200,000 PPV is already looking astronomical. Then suddenly in the Maidana 1 and 2 fights the figures came out way below the one million mark. So low that Espinoza didn't even have the nerve to lie. That's a very drastic dive in numbers. That's why fans need to demand concrete evidences on these figures.

Lol @ some posters getting their jimmies rustled by the article. Chill and take a breather.

Haha...all you Floyd lovers butthurt beyond belief. Pathetic.

Amen x1000. It will be funny though, Floydie's farewell party half filled, with nothing but yes men and a few yes women smoking pot to keep from being bored silly with his 'look at me' glory parade all evening. HA!

[sicko]

I believe more like 700k as well, that was a waste of a ***in time and rematch that should've never happened. It shouldn't have done good numbers so I don't believe 900+k either

Also had a lot of Empty Seats for a Mayweather Event

People losing interest in Mayweather, Pacquiao and Boxing IN GENERAL because those two can't get in the damn ring together

[PunchyPotorff]

Well the truth is in the fact that Showtime's corporate shill of boxing refuses to release the PPV #s anymore. That's fine, anyone who isn't an anointed Floydie fanboy knows that means the #s are dropping like bombs over Iraq.

Doesn't take an Einstein to know the Floydie Express is laid dead to rights. It is funny though, that NBC has blown up Flores ego so much, even HE thinks he's great. Hey, try comparing Flores with Paulie or RJ Jr or the late Manny Steward.... NO comparison. Flores is a good BASIC commentator who does understand the basics of boxing and has been around a while. That's a given. But boxing expert? Hardly. This the guy who last week was dropped hard the round before he stopped his 20-10 opponent Kevin Engel.

Cotto and Canelo yes but .....

What are you talking about..

cotto, canelo, marquez and shane have all headlined major ppv cards without floyd.. Floyd did monster numbers with shane, and marquez was well over a million...
