I know whats happening

think about it larryx you're one of the biggest Mayweather fans i know . There were more mayweather haters than fans. Both tuned in for different reasons. How long did pacman fans call mayweather chicken and afraid because they thought he was running from the fight but in actuality he was selling the fight..

[ИATAS]

There isn't anything elaborate here, this isn't a complicated matter it's very simple - he doesn't want to fight Golovkin, end of story. All these people trying to come up with fan theories like this is Game of Thrones or some **** it's hilarious

Thats the reason why they are doing it. Step back and think a bit. What i was trying to say is those 5 years people were convinced floyd was scared to fight pacquiao. he played the villain role and Most people (casual fans) wanted to see Mayweather get knocked out. thats what really sold that fight. Now Canelo is putting up the same front as mayweather did making it look like he's avoiding this fight at all costs so people will tune in just like they did mayweathers fight and now the PPv will become 1.8 million buys instead of 850K- 1M buys. Im not saying they will be successful in doing this but this is the reason for this. Its all about the PPV numbers and they will do whatever it takes

Manny fans were convinced he was scared. Media guys that hated Floyd and ESPN clowns like dan and skip bayless acted like he was scared. Any real person with common sense didn't think that.

Again, Mayweather developed that role against the biggest name in the sport on a TV show dedicated to their fight. That isn't the situation here, Canelo vacated the belt INSTEAD of signing to fight.

Floyd flossed, and cussed and insulted people. He had 50 Cent with him who was the Uber gangster of the day and a pop culture phenom. casual fans love the gangster image floyd was putting on. They don't love what Canelo just did.

I get you like Canelo and are thinking out of the box. But really dude, the situations are nothing alike. If you think otherwise, so be it.

That right there shows me you live in a bubble. Floyd fans never thought he was afraid of Manny and would beat him. Manny fans never thought he was afraid of Floyd and would beat him. Canelo fans suspected he was afraid of GGG and wasn't sure he could beat him. Well he proved he's afraid of him so that also answers the second question.

good point right here. canelo just confirmed what most of us have posted for the last year.

the point is that there are more haters than fans! Haters will buy the fight! haters are still putting moeny in his pocket. Floyd knew this so its much eaiser to have haters than fans. Especially if you're good at being a ****y rich loudmouth boxer

Tell me why did Mayweather become a PPV star?

He beat de la Hoya and is/was the best boxer. Add in the fact that he has a polarizing personality and it was a recipe for success. Canelo has none of those wins or attributes.

1. He has no big name victory.
2. He is not the best.
3. He has no personality.

Mayweather and Canelo are two totally different commodities. You can't look at what one did and think it will work for the other. Nor should you assume that's their new angle. What they did has no spin. They just didn't want to fight golovkin at the moment and possibly ever. There is no long game and it won't garner any further interest by pulling this move. This will actually hurt him in the short term because people are disgusted by his actions.

my point is still that is not about what fans like. Haters will still contribute to the PPV i can guarantee you that. if you look at canelos page hes got people left and right calling him a coward and chicken etc. You dont think he knew that this was gonna happen? he knew this was a bad look and some people would turn against him. Now those people will tune in this fight when it happens evenmore so than before. Bottom line they are doing what they think will sell the fight. Its all greed all the moves are calculated

Why would he want to turn from the most loved fighter in Mexico to the most hated fighter in Mexico? Mexico doesn't have a PPV model so what fights are they buying? You have to realize they are playing to different fan bases. Floyd knew he couldn't become as popular as he wanted with just the backing of the African-American crowd so he had to turn heel. Canelo is more popular at 25 than Floyd was but Floyd had a far superior resume and was a better fighter. Canelo's main PPV audience are Mexican-Americans. Margarito could fight in SoCal right now and sell the place out. Nobody talks about the great Mexican business of the past. They talk about the great Mexican warriors of the past. I'm telling you, Mexicans have always been suspect of Canelo. He proved their su****ions right.

They're calling him a coward and chicken because he won't fight GGG. So what does he have to do to prove to them he's not a chicken and a coward?
