Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mayweather's Style Doesn't Make For Attractive Fights

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

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.

Did you take a poll to come to this conclusion weirdo? I already know you gone respond with a gay aśś comment because that's all you talk about is ****s. He couldn't sell early in his career because he was with a greedy blood sucking promoter. Why you think Pacquiao fighting on cable tv now lmaoooo?

Which is frankly a smart move on Oscar's part (whether strategically intentional or not is to be seen)

How is it smart lmao wtf

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.

Isn't that crazy to when you think about it. Pretty Boy was a bad ass mfer who KO'd so many opponents. Money just potshots your ass & never gets hit on way to a 11-1, 10-2 decision. Pretty Boy gots f#ck all for PPV buys, Money is the king of PPV boxing.

F#ck aggression & KO ability, talking ability is where its at. And that's why Floyd vs Conor is gonna do great numbers & completely insane numbers for a fight with a guy making his pro debut.

Funny how we keep hearing this even after years and years of him being the biggest draw and biggest cash cow in combat sports. Boring yet you said you look up to him. Canelo is just talking because he really wants to get the Mayweather rematch next, which I think is very possible for next May if he wins.

And the first almost 3m PPVs that Floyd sold were because of Gatti and Oscar what's your point? lol You said Floyd in his pretty boy floyd days sold more then Canelo does which is a flat out lie. So now you trying to change the argument to who sells more over their entire career? Floyd is 40 Canelo is only 26. Dumbazz nobody is saying canelo has sold more then Floyd does for their entire career. Don't quote me again bytch if you can't keep up with the conversation just go back to sucking Haymon's dyck and keep your mouth shut and let the grown folk talk.

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.

when floyd fought zab it sold more than when he fought gatti, and when he fought baldomir it wasn't much less than the gatti fight. when it comes down to it, oscar (and canelo) got his biggest payday with floyd, but floyd didn't get his biggest with oscar (or canelo)

I can see a lot of Floyd in Canelo since his schooling. Canelo is a smart student.
