Comments Thread For: Mayweather Promotions Cleared For 9/12 PPV in Vegas

[Scipio2009]

Of course I prefer Canelo vs Cotto> watching Mayweather embarrass yet another opponent that is not worthy of being in the a ring with him. But Vegas is going to take care of the fighter that draws the most money to Vegas every time he fights.

His last fight, after that May and September Dates will be All Canelo!

Wilder(c) vs Klitschko(c) for Kentucky Derby weekend 2016 (first Saturday in May, EVERY YEAR SINCE 1875 (sans three in the early 20th century).

Canelo will likely take over the September date, though.

allow me:

Canelo: Waah, odh i wanted that date waaaaah
odh: Snifffffffff, snif snif,
canelo: Why wont they give me that date. (slams rattle on table). You promised.
Odh: (unrolling $5 bill) sorry canelo, i apologize, but i got something else for you
ring, ring: It's ggg on canelo's phone
odh: (admiring fishnets in mirror) ooh these stockings look nice
canelo: (hits ignore button on phone)
odh: Who was that
canelo: Wrong number

hahahahahahahahaha good one

As far as this card is concerned, you will see Love, Smith, and maybe Theophane on it...The main event will involve Floyd against Garcia, Brook, or Khan in that order

You are still ducking my question, and bottom line Mayweather does the very minimum to win, he finds a rhythm then will resort to potshotting the whole fight, it gets monotonous(know what that is?) because he never puts his foot in the gas, honestly watching sparring can be funner than watching some Mayweather fights. He is obviously very skilled, but you act like being skilled and fan friendly are mutually exclusive, there have been a ton of supremely skilled boxers who also knew how to put on a show. He is afraid of getting hurt, so he fights with a safety first mindset, but none of us have to like him for it. You are obviously a fan, so seeing him win is enough for you, but for the rest of us we expect much more from a 100 dollar paper view.

YES I FIND IT ENTERTAINING, when someone hits someone and they arent able to find a way to hit you back, because of their lack of skill. And yes, watching someone get posthotted is hilarious. Getting hit takes absolutely NO SKILL, anyone can get hit but it takes alot of athleticism to avoid getting hit while youre hitting someone. YES I FIND IT ENTERTAINING. If you enjoy people just standing there and punching each other in the face, so be it. I enjoy SKILL and take enjoyment in seeing it.

Curious what the PPV numbers will be. Every casual sports fan I know and read about said they will never pay for a Floyd fight ever again. Casual fans are usual fickle, so we'll see. Will it do 1 million buys??

Of course, Floyd fanatics will campaign like crazy as if they'll profit themselves off of Floyd's PPV. Some will even proclaim to pay for this fight twice just to support Floyd.

north of 4.4m homes bought the fight on PPV (number will likely be close to 5m once the official tally happens), with the addition of apparent record fan interest across a lot of the closed circuit venues (and the hilarious amount of illegal streaming of the fight)

pretty sure you don't "know" that many actual casual sports fans.

I know right...I thought the main purpose in boxing was to hit and not get hit :-/

There's only one reasonable fight that would excite anyone and that's Triple G...obviously Floyd avoids or waits risks out...unfortunately, he's too old for that...

Funny thing is if Floyd said I'm moving up to fight Triple G even at 155 for the MW title...ESPN would be all over it coverage-wise...Triple G would actually bring out the most members of that group of people who order Mayweather fights called: "the want-to-see Mayweather lose purchasers"

When was the last time Floyd was an underdog or even close to even odds-wise going into a fight? Corrales? That right there proves that he never takes risks...

Damn selling 4.4 million, 2.5 and 2.2 million PPV's and people don't think he could lose? You see how dumb you sound? Didn't Mosley and Mayweather do 1.4 and Mayweather Cotto do 1.5? So all these people paid for these PPV's with there not being a risk factor. Only Mayweather could fight: Pac, Canelo, Cotto, and Maidana and it not be considered taking risk. NAME ONE FIGHTER at that weight class who that wouldn't look good for? I'LL WAIT I BODIED YOU

We all know that the casual fans were overwhelmingly disappointed. That's not a debate. The question is will Floyd's PPV buy average before May 2nd maintain or decrease?? Since you're a fan of Floyd, I don't expect you to be objective. After public reaction, it wouldn't be going out on a limb to predict that it will decrease, if he fights in September.

I picked Floyd to beat Manny! I just didn't expect Floyd to run and look so bad to the point where everyone felt like they were robbed of their money!

But I"m glad my comment got to you enough to reply and have no intelligent retort.

Floyd has always "boxed" and he became the highest paid athlete and undefeated doing so, why would he start doing anything else in his biggest fight? "Boxing" has kept him rich and undefeated, why would you try to be a brawler when your usual routine ALWAYS allows you to win? If my basketball player is deadly from the top of the key, its the opponents job to stop him, if my football team wins by throwing...keep throwing until an opponent can stop you and force you to do something else. Pac couldve thrown caution to the wind like he said he would, but that jab and those hooks persuaded him to do otherwise. So he stopped doing what he usually does because his opponent made him stop all that wild ****. and thats what worked for pac, (the wild throw caution to the wind type of fighting).

Marquez was pretty old when he fought Floyd and he cheated at the scales moving up two weight divisions...
Mosley was 39 and coming off a 15-month layoff
Pacquiao was recognized even by Pac fans as being past his prime (debatable fight as well)

The other guys you mentioned don't fight that bill...

Marquez was 3 years younger when he fought Floyd before knocking Pac out. Mosley was 38 and just destroyed that cheater. Pac just beat: Bradley and Algeriea and was supposed to have the left hand and foot movement to confuse Floyd. Canelo, Maidana, and Cotto power punchers who knock people out barely phased Floyd.

48-0 homie nobody is ****ing with him! Cry on that
