Comments Thread For: Mayweather, Ellerbe Reject Talk of Event Being Failure

[Fetta]

So the man who was apart of 4 of the 5 biggest fights in boxing history has no fanbase?

Canelo biggest ppv without floyd- 350,000
Cotto biggest ppv without floyd-1.2 million
cotto never even did a million ppv's without floyd or pacquiao
Pacquiao biggest ppv without floyd-1.4 million
DE LA hoya biggest ppv without floyd-1.4 million

Floyd biggest ppv without canelo-4.4 million
Floyd biggest ppv without pacquiao-2.4 million
Floyd biggest ppv without de la hoya-4.4 million
Floyd biggest ppv without cotto 4.4 million

Mayweather vs pacquiao
Mayweather vs de la hoya
Mayweather vs canelo
Tyson vs lewis
Mayweather vs cotto

Top 5 ppv all time.

Guess who is the only fighter you see more than once.

Stop hating bro. If you don't like floyd, that's understandable. But you can't change facts

IMO the casuals know that this era is over. They are ready for new blood.

Floyd has beaten all they asked for. Hell a megafight coming up is by 2 fighters he beat and all they have left is a MW that has proven nothing.

Im glad hes retiring. Its time

but no fanbase huh?

Stop hating bro. If you don't like floyd, that's understandable. But you can't change facts.

He has sold more ppv than any fighter in the history of the sport.

How can a fighter with no fanbase do that?

don't go there.. mayweather vs juday 350..
mayweahter vs baldo 350
mayweather vs gatti 300

canelo IS huge amongst us Mexicans,
DLH sold out stub hub vs steve ****ing forbes.. bonified mr ppv, how is it mayweather's draw?
hatton was a jr ww and huge in the UK
Marquez AGAIN big with the Mexican crowd,
gatti huges in east coast..
Judah eeh..
Pac was on the level with mayweather beating his left overs..
guerrero under 1 million
maidana's numbers were not revealed..

So If marquez is so big with you Mexicans why has he never done a million ppv without floyd or pacquiao?

If canelo is so popular with you Mexicans why has he never sold even a half a million buys without floyd?

Hatton had never been on ppv before he fought floyd, but he sold the ppv right? No American casual even knew who Hatton was .

You're an idiot. Canelo and Cotto by themselves don't do well. But together they're an explosive couple in the PPV arena. Same thing with your idol TBE. Look at him vs Berto. He's a nobody. Wake up doe.

like I said... if he was such a bonified draw.. why are all "his" so called top grossing fights vs fighters that actually have fans... marquez, hatton, dlh, canelo, cotto, pac... but when he fights the likes of gatti, baldo, guerrero, maidana, and now berto.. you don't blame him for the flop or weak sales..

don't be dumb bro.. DLH and Trinidad needed each other.. they both SOLD fights with action.. not with words..

look at what was supposed to be the next mayweather in broner.. NOBODY cares about him..

Mayweather isn't as big of a draw as his fanboys think he is.. plain and simple..

But floyd did 1.2 million with ortiz. Who is a nobody. And 1.4 million with mosley who cotto fought and didnt come close too a million buys.

All I am doing is stating facts.

You are the idiot.

Floyd vs Guerrero 800,000. A nobody
Floyd vs Chino 800,000 a nobody.

Canelo,cotto, and marquez never did those numbers and they all have at least 3 ppv's without Mayweather or pacquiao too back up what I'm saying.

mosley,canelo,cotto,oscar all had their biggest ppv with floyd.

Stop it bro. You are a hater, nothing more.

Like I said if you don't like floyd, that's understandable. But it's obvious you are a hater.

Oscar fought tito, b hop, mosley, pacquaio, vargas, chavez, whitaker.

But none of those fights came close to the numbers he did with floyd.

Floyd not popular doe

[Da Boxer]

floyd only looking for the EASIEST opponent ever. berto was stopped by journeyman karass like 2 years ago. KARASSS!!!!!

To just to be fair, Berto was stomping on Karass head and ***ed up his shoulder even then still beat him up really good with one arm.

Got to be fair bro!

Where were all those hatton,canelo,cotto,marquez fans when they weren't fighting floyd?

cause they damn sure wasn't buying those guys ppv's

Now 800,000 is a flop, but those fighters never did that many buys without floyd.

You see the hypocrisy?

Of are you just that big of a floyd hater.

And judah, baldomir, and gatti all came before floyd was a star. Remember?

Floyd wasn't always the biggest name in boxing. He build his star power just like all the greats before him. Only difference is he did it better than all the greats before him.

I can't wait til he retires so we can weed out all of the people who are only here to bash floyd.

Floyd has no fanbase, but every current fighter has sold less than him.

By your logic, nobody has a fanbase.

[daggum]

it's not a failure it's just no one is coming. semantics!

[SlySlickSmooth]

I don't see why this is a surprise. This is not the fight most of us wanted to see and any fight outside of GGG would be a downer coming off the huge Manny fight.

I wonder how the movie theatre sales will be because I do not expect PPV sales to eclipse 700k, especially if Serena is in the US Open finals.

Brook would of probably brought more fans than Berto probably has. Is anyone going to the fight to "see Berto fight Mayweather."

I don't think so.
