[REAL TALK] Connor is a blessing for Floyd he needs him to sell the fight

We all know Floyd likes to think of himself as the a side and maybe he is because the man has earned it.
But look at his biggest fights and you'll see he needs the other guy more than his own name to sell fights.
Oscar because it's oscar. Canelo to bring in the Mexican fans. Manny had all of Asia supporting him. Now he's fighting Connor who is the most popular mma star worldwide. Floyd can't sell just by being Floyd he needs that name guy to get over 1 million ppv sales.
Mike Tyson once said people would go to the theaters to watch him jerk off because of his name only that's how powerful his brand was. Floyd doesn't have that he's let fans down too many times to sell a fight just because it's Floyd.
Personally I'd rather pay money to watch Tyson **********.
Until I started reading this forum I had no idea fanboys to their extent existed.Comment

No Sh.it you need 2 big names to make big financial fights
Maywesther almost does a million or beyond buys almost every time out even against no names that have no fan bases. It's when he gets another popular fighter that the PPV #s really go Into overdrive
Maywesthers the a- side because every one he fought they do their biggest #s when they fight Mayweather.
I love how people are saying he picks and chooses these easy victims and makes these monster events but he fought every marketable name in and around his division.
McGregors doing a great job on his end selling the fight. Talking tonnes of trash,releasing videos ,. McGregor deserves every dollar hes recieving for this fight.Comment

You are not kidding. They are all bottom of the barrel members here. You did leave one out though and that Is Robbie Barrett. The moron I just mentioned actually made a thread claiming Floyd could read. He was so proud of Floyd that It was beyond hilarious and wanted everyone else on the board to also be proud of something that most of us learned In kindergarten. When he started being made fun of for actually starting such a ridiculous thread he got angry and It was one of the better moments on the board. There Is no doubt he **********s to audio stories narrated In Floyd's voice.Comment
