Who would even stream? No life? Or FIomo...

I really hope that people don't cave and purchase this fight. I'm watching it regardless, but I'd love for a powerful message to be sent in protest. I don't think they are expecting too many buys anyway.

lol. didnt buy the ghost and wont buy this one either.

Not this time, Floyd.

Now that the Pacquiao fight happened, and there really isn't any big name or threat left between 140-154, I really do believe people simply aren't interested in Floyd right now. Maybe next time, not this one. I think this will be his worst PPV buys in many years, not like it matters to him he gets his guarantee.

He doesn't seem to understand that the haters tune in if they think he will lose. See ODL, Canelo, Pacquaio, Cotto. If they know its a mismatch the numbers are more pedestrian like Guerrero, both Maidana fights, Hatton, etc...
There is not one person not associated with Mayweather promotions that will say this is anything other than a huge mismatch. I think this one does less than 500k, which really doesn't matter since they already made their money off the Pac fight. I guarantee they don't release numbers for this one when its done.

It was my girl's birthday today and we got lunch with her best friend and her boyfriend, who is a very casual fan. Knows Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather, and Pacquaio but no one else, really.

As we were eating, he looked across the table and said "So whats's this I hear about Mayweather fighting a guy that used to be homeless? Like, I heard not even experts know who he is."

LMFAO, damn and I thought people here were harsh.

All waist of times..

[damian War]

last chance for the haters to see if floyd loses.. must see tv right there.. these people have been holding their breaths praying for this man to catch an L, how can they miss this. . remember what they said before, floyd is an old man with shot legs, well, berto is young and explosive, why is it impossible for him to win?

the guys in the upperweight classes are going to steal his thunder when he retires, his p4p spot will be gone, and im not sure he will get it back when he comes back. who is gonna want to watch floyd with guys like GGG, Canelo, and Kovalev. Hell guys in the lower weight classes too, lomachenko, Gonzalez, rigondeux, ect.. A new age is coming and they arent in the welterweight division, i don't think he will ever be the draw he used to be.

Definitely Berto was cherry picked.
