NEWS FLASH: PPV buys don't make a fighter

[SeekDaGreat]

Believe me, I could give a **** azz who's PPV are better, I just want to see the fight. More Floyd fans talk about his PPV number because he has the upper hand. When the numbers were more comparable, there were a lot of Pac fans talking about his numbers. Obviously a lot of people disagree with you, because he does the best PPV numbers. Stop hating on the guy, he does what he needs to do to win and is successful at it. If you don't like how he does it, don't but his fights, simple as that.

Dont get this fantasy land **** twisted. Where it counts, in reality, I don't hate on Floyd. And his increased revenue at my expense is all the proof you need.

On this forum? I know plenty of boxing fans and we never discussed PPV buys. I know a lot of Mayweather fans lersonally. Never did they ever bring up his PPV buys. I never even knew what the #'s were until Icame here. But I did know when the fight(s) and fighters in then were good or not. Because that's what matters , at least to me.

If you do a search and you can find where I ever said anything about a Floyd PPV flopping then your post has credibility. As far as I remember I always held a firm stance that arguing over whos PPV sells the most is ****ing ******ed. Especially if everyone paid for the fight and it ******! Which most of them (PPVs) do.

There are two sides to this. The OP has a point in that a lot of fans, especially Floyd fans, seem to live vicariously through him. And to make it even worse, and more dangerous, they live in denial.

So it's like every thing that Floyd does, they think they do!


But for healthy, normal fans, it is good to know the PPV buys so we can have legitimate discussions when debating negotiations, and discussing the cultural, social significance of boxers - to give us a look at boxing outside of the hardcore realm.

I've said once and I'll say it again you put manny on cinco de mayo or Mexican independence day he will hit 1million buys. Floyd having his fights on Mexican holidays and fighting Latin fighters on those holidays obviously he will crack high PPV numbers. Case in point at mannys peak he wouldn't fight on holidays and would crack close to a million buys.

I never said you said Floyd flopped I just mean PAC turds in general. Lots of hypocrites on this site

Unless you are concerned about their personal wealth which would make you a foolish, bafoon.

To try and talk down upon another fighter because his PPV sales arent up to par with another fighter. Rock on with that dumb ass logic. This is boxing, not a presidential vote.

Plenty of great selling PPV fights were duds. Trash! And the two boxers robbing you (us) of are hard earned money laughed all the way to the bank.

Think about that next time you wanna go full blown ****** on us.

Your join date is Dec 2013 so I will give you the benefit of the doubt since you were not here.

PPV sales ceased being a discussion point on NSB once websites posted the actual numbers that showed floyd well ahead of ODH and Manny. Prior to that, Manny fans and non Floyd fans would create threads and post opinions without facts to back those opinions up at an alarming rate. They were the ones who made PPV sales an issue.

Soon as the facts proved all of them wrong then they switched to either one of 2 arguments-its the opponent and the undercard or PPV sales don't matter.
