Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor Banks 4.3 Million Buys, Says Showtime

[Curt Henning]

bob aint afraid to lose money he paid for the rest of his life & his family too....Floyd left because he said bob wasn't promoting him....he was only promoting certain fighters so he bought out his contract, beat everyone & got paid.

yes bob was set for life back when he had floyd...but hes bob "ARUM"...you know his religion...those types dont like to "lose" money...especially involving an african american and the fighter who had already left him that was mexican/american

it was a combo tho...floyd wanted to be promoted the way they did after he left bob...bob wanted to promote him as the clean cut all american kid....but bob also def thought oscar/floyd would lose him money or he would have def been game for it

[Floyd is TBE]

they pay to see his opponent and they want to see floyd lose, regardless, they're still paying for it. one thing about floyd IS he knows how to pick and choose his opponents.

They pay $100 to see him lose yet believe he's cherry-picking easy opponents at the same time. How does that even make sense? Man, just give the man his props and stop hating.

I think nearly 6m People would buy the PPV Again.If it was Mayweather v Mcgregor 2 in a UFC Cage.Not 6m actually closer to 8m.It would almost be a gurantee of people thinking Mayweather would get KTFO and people have been waiting nearly a decade to see it.What Floyd can do is the First round when he gets into trouble is to tap out immediately and surrender.It wont be part of his Boxin record so he'll still be 50-0.The money at stake for a rematch in a cage is Mindblowing if it ever happens.Course it wont though.

yes, they pay for a chance to witness his first L.

the people paying for it is not the one calling him a cherry picker. you do know that there is life outside of boxingscene right?? there is people that doesnt post on here or doesnt know that this site even existed that do watch boxing and dont like floyd.

More pay for him on his worse fights then other fighters best fights

And who else is doing 500+ against Andre Berto? No one.

Floyd is the money man. If you fight Floyd it's going to do the highest numbers that's abundantly clear.
