    Morons With Floyd/McGregor

    I will cut my left nut and post the video on youtube if Conor can even win a single round. I will also cut my right nut if Conor/Floyd has even 1/10th in entertainment action of the lousy Pac/Floyd fight. Floyd will bore everyone again by doing the same thing; running, hugging, grabbing, and holding and then throw a couple punches to actually win the round. There is your fight, folks, thanks for your $100 donation. lol Morons deserve to ripped off.

      There is not even zero interest in this fight, it's more like minus zero. Lol

      **** even Cotto-Kamegai is getting more attention than Pac-Horn and Cotto-Kamegai is happening on the same day as Mayweather-McGregor. Lol

        It's wild to think how crazy people were about Pacquiao in 2010-2011 and how far the interest has fallen off in just a few years. Around that time he was the most loved boxer probably in history and people were saying he was a bigger draw than Mayweather, Top 3 ever etc, nowadays hardly any of those "fans" are here anymore and he's fighting on cable TV for free. Not to mention fighting guys like Jessie Vargas and Horn. At this point in his career he might as well get the big names before it's over, but then again that's not up to him, Arum is controlling his every move so it's very unlikely we will see him vs the very top WW's unfortunately.

          Maybe that carries weight in America (the USA). But elsewhere, most specially in Australia, Asia, even parts of Europe, lots of folks are really interested in seeing Manny fight. Just because he is Manny. And he delivers. He is entertainment. He is a great ambassador for boxing, despite being a biased ****** ****** politician.

          So you are totally wrong generalizing that there's "zero interest" in Pac's fight.

          Maybe lots of Americans who like to throw money down the toilet to go see "professional wrestling" or go to the circus to see the clowns and some scantily-dressed dame doing balancing feats, will want to dump their money to see that charade of "fight" between whatshisname MMA guy and Floyd Pestweather.

          But real boxing fans, we want to see Manny ANYTIME anyplace. And of course, the main event of the year: GGG-Canelo, A REAL BOXING FIGHT, not a circus comedy.

            Floyd's way more famous around the world than Pacquiao is.

              DUH. Floyd's fame is WAY MORE related to him being American and the fact that every time that the issue of who is the highest earning athlete ever per year, this boring "fighter" has been the one for years and years. Because those statistics are made by Americans, and they are viewed worldwide. Just like films, sitcoms and Hollywood.

              All the high-profile boxers worldwide HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AMERICAN. Your idol Floyd, De La Hoya, Mike Tyson, SRL, Muhammad Ali, and the list goes on and on. The top most famous boxer at ANY TIME is always an American, no exception.

              The main box-promoting networks are American, so are the main betting houses, main commentators, main drug agencies, main venues, main sold-out "punch-stats providers." Boxing as a business = America.

              This is not about who is more famous. Manny is handicapped in that regard by not being an American. This is about REAL BOXING FANS looking forward to real boxing fights as opposed to circus acts comparable to "professional wrestling" in the US, which we all know it's a theatrical performance.

                Don't get me wrong matched against the right opponent Pacquiao can still draw. Not as much as he did in his prime but still good enough in the U.S.

                I know in other countries he's a draw. For where the money is though in the U.S. though he definitely needs the right opponent.

                We are a week away and this fight with Horn is generating zero buzz. Well because Frankly it's not a good fight.

                "Real" boxing fans want to see real fights like what we saw last Saturday Ward vs Kovalev, Golovkin-Jacobs, Golovkin-Canelo, Joshua-Klitschko, etc.....

                Not Pacquiao-Vargas or Pacquiao-Horn, thus the reason why the fight is a week away and hardly anyone knows. It's more about the opponent than Pacquiao. If Pacquiao fought Crawford for example, people would be buzzing. This is my point.

                  Being that the Pacquiao vs Horn fight Is on cable TV for everyone to see could actually benefit Pacquiao down the road. If he can win spectacularly, via KO and fight a credible opponent In his next fight(Crawford) he could do pretty decent PPV numbers again.

                  On the flip side, he only has himself to blame for dismal PPV buys. When you throw 429 punches over 12 rounds and land 81 of them In the biggest fight of your career, people are going to be disgusted, and rightfully so.

                    Been wondering what is so new about this.
                    Even the Salka vs the Gift fight was picked up by Boxnation.
