    The simple answer is whats your thing with Floyd, I see you talking sht every day.

    Spence didn't sell out Brook did, Spence was a quality opponent fighting a popular WC in his home town, this scenario always sells out.

    Take Spence out and put Floyd in that very same fight and its a total sell out, take Spence out put any top 4 WW in with Brook in Sheffield and it sells out.

    So once again your original idea of crapping on Mayweather shows how little you understand boxing.

        He was a lil guy (135 or less) + wasn't humble. He called a multi-million dollar HBO deal a slave contract well before he was Money Mayweather.

                    Kell Brook sold out! You never really see american boxing fans, travel to support their fighters! The most recent american fighter to have real genuine supporters in my opinion was? Mike Tyson.

                    Errol Spence Junior just seems like a real nice, and down to earth guy. Even when Kell Brook was getting abit malicious towards him, he was just smiling and letting his coach do all of the banter! some fighters in terms of marketability can pull this image off! Errol Spence Junior is one of them! I saw a interview the other day where Oscar De La Hoya confessed his love of for Errol Spence Junior! (Apparently he wants to promote him!)...

                      Spence gets love in the USA anf outside of it because he's a stand up guy. Floyd was not loved in the US and outside because he was not a stand up guy. It's really that simple.
