    Question when these other guys fought each other and PPV fights how come NONE of them out sold Floyd?? Curious... The common person is Floyd. Floyd Guerrero did 875 k ppv buys.

    Can you name any other fighter that will sell that many PPV'S with Guerrero not named Floyd? If so I will point out a common opponent where their ppv was horrible.

        I wonder how Mayweather vs Thurman, Khan, Porter etc would have done in comparison but it doesn't really matter because I don't believe this will be his last fight.

            To be fair, Pacquiaos numbers also plummeted with Rios/Algieri.

            400k/250k.....and there are question marks over those figures.

            It appears that boxing fans are smarter than we give them credit.

              Haha there are no question marks on them. The one with the question marks is floyd vs guerrero, and maidana 1 and 2 with their inflated numbers. Haha even hershman called showtime out on it

                It won't sellout unless the tics are free. Very few will pay those prices for a boring exhibition fight.

                  Well, nobody knows that for sure.

                  And you could be right about the Guerrero/Maidana numbers.

                  Not commenting on Shotimes credibility, just Bob Arums.

                    This thing needs to be a big FLOP! Berto does not belong in a PPV.
