Why do people say Mayweather Maidana failed?

[shinobi108]

When it did the 3rd highest grossing gate of all time and over 850k ppv buys and 1mill buys in the rematch. Mayweather also made over $50mill from this fight. Yes it's less than his usual 1.4millish but how on earth can this even be close to a failure when its the 3rd highest gate(3rd highest after mayweather canelo then mayweather de la hoya)

Its because of Floyd's 32m guarantee, which requires 1m+ buys, which they didn't hit for either fight

First fight was good, second fight ******. Floyd ran and held all night. Floyd selling 850k is bad because showtime loses money if they don't do 1.4 million buts or what ever number it is.

Idk if they ever said it failed, they said Floyds ppv were in the decline which was a fact, especially when he was expected to break over a mil to make ShowTime money

Second fight was 40,000 less than a mill, so pretty much a mill

Because they think if they somehow tear down anything vaguely affiliated with Mayweather it is "helping" Pacquiao in some convoluted way.

Thanks to those ****ty fights Mayweather is fighting Pacquiao. Showtime was losing money and they pushed floyd into a fight he could no longer run away from. "But im my own boss doe"
