    But Showtime obviously didin't invest in him because he was exciting, but because he's a money making machine. Quite rare actually that a fighter who's not perceived to be overly exciting to watch is so well paid. Kudos.

    But you can ask the general public, NSB, "experts", whoever. I don't think many will say a Mayweather fight is super exciting. That's just the honest truth.
    I liken it to watching the Spurs play ball. If you love the game of basketball the Spurs are a great team to watch. and they will always excite you. If you like dunks and crossovers the "and 1" style of game will be more exciting.

    I like drama created by fighters going hard to win more than I do the excitement from watching 2 lesser skilled people brawl.

    Its the difference between eating a banana and a candy bar. One gives you true energy, the other a cheap high/buzz that wears off quickly.

      You seem upset that more people choose to watch him than Manny, whom you find more exciting.

      That shouldn't bother you so much.

        Only Floyd Fanboys enjoyed the Canelo fight. The kid was BADLY drained. Just like Hoya was against Manny. Those are the two worse drains I ever seen. EVER. But you enjoyed Floyd's performance? Why do you think he drained Canelo? I DARE him to fight Canelo without a catchweight like he did Cotto and De La Hoya. He gets knocked out!!!!!!! You don't care about the health of the fighters if you enjoyed that performance. Floyd is GAY. The jury is out on him after May 2nd buddy. The Floyd conartist show is OVER! FINALLY!

          Worst draining I've ever seen. It was like Canelo and his idiot team signed away any chance of a victory, and accepted defeat before the fight started. Little ******* should have at least come in a pound over or something.

              Cotto weighed in at 146 for the Clottey fight. And he was fighting hell for leather in the fight until the KD. Canelo struggled to make 154 in his previous fight with Trout and had all the fight in him of an M.E suffering syphilitic poodle lol. Canelo draining was way way worse. Only a biased fool would argue otherwise.

                  You are very selective in your outrage. Manny draining cotto was the same as floyd draining canelo. Only Manny fans see a difference.
