some boxers still dont understand. you cant just SIMPLY win...

I think he's socially awkward and has zero charisma. His act is very contrived. I agree with you though people want to see the best, his fights are big events and put together very well.

fans that go pay to watch a mayweather fight, pay to see him lose. celebrities go to mayweather fights to be seen by the media. i dont believe fans go to watch him display his skills.

i think there are agencies out there who pay people to fill the arena to watch good but boring boxers (lara).

Are there people on football forums saying "so and so team needs to understand that just running the ball isn't exciting. People want to see deep passes" or on a basketball forum "so and so is so boring with all the lay ups. People want to see guys shooting 3s". Or is it just boxing where the method of victory is more important to some than the actual victory.

you cant compare the sport of boxing compared to soccer, football, basketball, baseball, hockey. its a completely different business.

People wanna see floyd lose. He knows that,so he only fights fights he cant lose in. He picks his opponent,he doesnt fight who the fans want until the opponent is no longer a threat.

that's bull****. people watch mayweather because you literally can't claim to be a boxing fan if you don't watch his fights. if the primary appeal of boxing was the violent aspect, people would just watch local fighters or even something like worldstarhiphop instead of the best boxers. the bottom line is talent - if you have enough of it, everything will usually fall into place. mayweather is extraordinarily popular because he's extraordinarily talented

some of these boxers dont understand the business side of boxing. you cant just SIMPLY win a fight. you have to win and be EXCITING. TV networks and fight fans don't give a damn if you can win a 12 round decision by boxing and moving all night especially if you're an up and coming fighter. you dont attract new fans by jabbing, clinching, moving all night to a victory. look at what happened to clottey after the pacquiao bout. he now realizes how much he ****ed up.

klitschko, ggg, kovalev, canelo dont need to talk much. they can let their fists do all the talking. but guys like malignaggi and mayweather who arent able to excite fans inside the ring excited them outside the ring by having a motor mouth at media pressers and by talking a lot of smack towards their opponents..

lara, rigo, andre ward and all up and coming fighters should enroll in an evening course in marketing 101.

Klitschko is at the top of boring as **** list bro that includes Floyd, Ward, Lara...

Boxing us unlike any other sport.

Yeah, for some reason boxing fans are constantly trying to ingratiate themselves with casuals.

Pretty Boy Floyd was exciting? The Majority of his career? only since Hatton he hasn't been thrilling to watch visually

Boxing fans just wanna see a good fight. Has nothing to do with casuals or trying to be like or please casuals or whatever. If a fight is wack and we say it's wack then it is what it is.
