      [QUOTE=Francis M.;17963863]Diaz is a trash talker but cannot articulate ish. I was dis*****g your post that Diaz is the reason for their PPV numbers.
      Floyd's a smart marketer. He would have fought Diaz if Diaz was the cash cow of MMA./QUOTE]

      The fight would've happened sooner if Conor wouldn't have lost the 1st time. Conor had no leg to stand on and barely got past Diaz the 2nd time. And Diaz isnt the sharpest tool in the shed but he punked Conor and Conor bites EVERYTHING he says. Diaz would be a bigger draw than Conor if more Mexicans followed mma guaranteed. Mexicans follow boxing. Mma has the alternative right...

          Connor always goes back and forth with all his opponents. He even got Aldo engaged. I like Nate also but just want to keep things in order. Nate is not a PPV star.

                  How many sports channels were talking about boxing? How many national newspapers? How many celebrities? How many casuals cared about boxing?

                  The answer is none or very few.

                  Connor has brought international stardom to boxing with this fight. The mass public haven't cared about boxing like this since Manny vs Floyd.

                    Floyd's coming out of retirement did 90% of that.

                    If Conor was fighting a no-name, people wouldn't care.

                      Connor sold 4 ppvs for 1.2-1.7 million against guys that were not big names because he has that drawing power. Floyd couldn't break a million against berto.
