Mayweather will walk away with approx. $275m

[Robbie Barrett]

You just admitted that without Manny he would never had made that money and that 70% of the revenue came from Manny's fans...they paid hoping to watch him win obviously.

No i admitted that people pay to watch Mayweather lose doesn't mean they're Pacquiao fans.

Almost 70% were picking/rooting for Pacquiao that's got to make that money all the more sweeter.

More like 95% (probably more) were rooting for him. Floyd's fan base isn't very large nor diverse.

Good for them

Then obviously they're not Mayweather fans...so they must be Manny fans and they made him all that money

I didn't say they were but that doesn't make them Pacquiao fans.

Lol Manny fans.....most of Mayweathers fights are bought by people wanting him to lose....he chose the heel role and it worked. You act like Pac had 2.5 mil buys every fight...didnt he just do like 300k-500k vs Algeri

He also outsold Pacquiao in every fight with the same opponent apart from JMM. Was part of the top 3 selling PPVs of all time.




It was all Pacquiao fans though.

I wonder what he will spend the money on, perhaps a first edition of Spot the Dog?

I heard Pacquiao's father was good at that game.

I blame myself for even trying engage with them on any level. It's essentially a futile exercise. I mean, let's sum up some of these responses....

"Hmm, salty tears. Butt-hurt tears. My guy won. Look, he mad"

"Hmmm, you owned yourself. Self-contradictory".

"Hmm, all those tickets sold mean there is no way Floyd isn't the p4p a superstar entertainer".

"Hmmm, racist".

Lol. There is no way I'm going to sit back and let these people try to deny that Mayweather isn't a gigantic bore in the ring. Worst PPV star ever. A pure marketing gimmick, who exploits the boxing rules to stifle the **** out of a boxing fight - then has his fans blame the opponent for not making his ass less boring

Duran, Leonard, Hearns, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Pacquaio were/are pure entertainers. Excitement was woven into the style, that's what made them great, that's what makes their fightography so brilliant and worth revisiting again and again.

These dudes in this thread are in serious denial. The Fight of the Century was a complete disaster, the whole world were ****ting on our sport and but in their world, Floyd won and made lots of money, and so everything was OK.

For once, the casuals are right. That fight was an embarrassment.

I said it before the fight (and it shouldn't be hard to find in my posting history) - but when you rely on Floyd Mayweather to come through with an entertaining event, you are asking for trouble.

These long diatribes of pain, salt, and bitterness make my day. Please keep it coming. I use them for sustenance. Your jealousy and anger fuel me!!
