no he didn't floyd first ever ppv was in 2005 where he was the b side to gatti at age 28 and that only did 300k buys. He didn't sell ppvs like canelo is doing until he was he fought oscar at 30 years old and again he was the clear b side to oscar. He was in his 30's where he branded himself money mayweather when he became his own ppv draw. Canelo at age 26 has already sold almost 6m ppvs as a headliner. Floyd was 34 by the time he sold that many. Floyd marketed on his skills as pretty boy floyd couldn't draw. It was when he became money mayweather the guy who said and did crazy things leading up to fights played the villain to pi ss fans off to buy his ppvs to root for him to lose. Fans show up to boo and root against floyd not watch that style.Comment

Fact Canelo has sold more ppvs then Floyd did at the same age and stage of their careers.

no PPVs until he was 28
Canelo has sold 5.9m PPVs at age 26
Floyd had to reinvent his image and go full Money Mayweather in his 30's before he sold big PPVs. That's just a fact JASON SHAW
In response to an earlier story on BoxingScene.com, where WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. took several shots at WBC/WBA super middleweight king A
"Not knocking Floyd Mayweather, but he knows he couldn't draw flies to a dumpster until he beat Oscar De la Hoya. I know this is true because I was managing him when he couldn't sell out his hometown of Grand Rapids or the San Francisco Auditorium, which only seats 6,000 people." - J PrinceLast edited by bigdunny1; 06-23-2017, 10:36 PM.Comment

This too "green ****" has always been an excuse Golden Boys shills started to obscure the fact Canelo was dominated by a 36 yr old welter. Is the implication supposed to be future Canelo will be good enough to beat Floyd? Cause I wouldn't even favor "prime Canelo" over the current 40 year old Mayweather, even with him coming off a two year layoff.Comment

How is he wrong? Floyd is a boring POS in the ring most of the time. I barely even consider him a boxer, personally.Comment

mayweather holds all the ppv and gate records lying bum! Also 2.5 million of those 5.9 were sold because of mayweather lmfao... The other biggest 1 million were sold because of chavez family! The other 900 were sold because of cottos name.... Canelho vs smith vs khan and vs angulo all flopped! Mayweather vs maidana and mayweather vs guerrero did better than canelho vs cotto lmfao
When floyd was marketed on his skills and fighting style for the first decade of his career he couldn't sell his manager and the ppv numbers prove it. When he was in his 30's he created the alter ego Money Mayweather played the villain role and got fans to buy his ppvs to root against him not because they like his fighting style.Comment

I completely agree, Floyd fights are boring as hell. People pay ppvs in hopes of him losing yet his bs fan base here think people actually like Floyd. It's only the same as crappy people who run mouth first to defend him....Comment

Lmao who told Canelo that his fights were exciting? He is not all that exciting. And a senior citizen version of Mayweather had him backing up and balled up like a babyComment
