    What Motivated You to Buy Mayweather's Fights?

    There was a recent debate about whether the majority of fans bought Floyd Mayweather Jr's fights because they wanted to see him win or lose. So what about it, fans?

    Watching him lose, brutally starched preferably

    wishful thinking, I know, no way he was gonna lose in such manner with the kind of opponents he chose. tailor made no hopers and cherrypicks.

    His career was a joke after his comeback, the fact he fought a lightweight, styllistically challenged midget like JMM in his return to the ring was very telling about what kind of fighter Floyd had become: a cherrypicker maximus

    that been said, I never bought his PPVs. I watched his fights at sports bars. I dont like to pay for boring snoozefests and mismatches. You know Floyds matches are always that

              Their "prime"?

              Lies.

              Like how Pacquiao and Roach admitted they turned down the fight in 2009?
              Like how Mosely refused to fight Floyd in the mid 2000s because he had a tooth ache?
              Like how Cotto wanted no parts of Floyd after he was there to see Gatti get torched?
              ...... and Canelo was how old in 2013?

              Yeah, prime my ass.

                being able to witness an ATG....it was just something about him after I watched him in the olympics. He had skills of a grown ass man.

                After he won a title in his 18th fight fast forward by the time to about 2004-05 when Jones and Hopkins were slowing down, I knew he was gonna be the best.


                I like winners and the way he worked hard inspired me and he was a student of the game so when I started boxing around 05 i'd watched him and take some of his subtle skills
