Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley: Mayweather-McGregor a Scam, Rematch in Play

[Butch.McRae]

There are millions of dumb Irish willing to buy this on either side of the Atlantic.

Mac sells them the same type of dummy that May sold the black community throughout the last ten years of his career.

When will people acknowledge that Latinos make up the larger % of people who buy Mayweather fights? Lol

If Floyd was left getting support from just the black community he would've never cracked 1 million buys. I guarantee you that. Support for him is far from being a strong as posters here assume.

Not saying Latinos are buying because they like him. But those are the people buying PPVs. I'm willing to bet Black people buy UFC at a larger % than boxing PPV.

When I talk to 20-30 something year old black people, they've seen maybe 1 or 2 of Floyd's fights. Whereas when I talk to Latinos (from a diverse range if countries) most of them have not only seen more than a few fights, they have very strong opinions on Floyd (both bad and good). I live in NYC, so I think it's a pretty diverse sample.

How about Mayweather makes a comeback and returns the favor to McGregor, a fight in the octagon cage, otherwise nobody wants to see a boxing rematch.

its not just because many others got it, but looking at who's out there right now that floyd's willing to fight, manny still has the best chance. why would anyone want to see a floyd/conor rematch?

While you will pretend otherwise, the reason is Floyd/Conor was more exciting than Floyd/Manny or Floyd/Canelo and fans thought Conor actually tried to win while the other 2 just took there check and stunk up the joint.

So even though floyd/conor was nothing more than a cash grab it worked because fans that believed in Conor saw him do well, even though we know floyd carried him.

Those same fans believed in manny and canelo but got disappointed because they stunk it up.

That's not his most talked about win, just his most recent. Had the #2 guy in the sport put up a better fight then this fight wouldn't have been made.

Fans realized that the top guys at or near Floyd's weight could do nothing with him so they gave an MMA fighter the chance.
