If Prince Naseem Was Still Fighting He Would Be The Biggest PPV Star ever

[a5pe4]

I think with how flashy he was, in this era with social media he really would be a star. Now he may be a star of the lower weights but biggest PPV star might be a bit much to say

Another Brit that fell apart on the big stage.

I'm guessing you meant to say MAB? If so, that fight was on PPV.

As for the question in hand? He wouldn't be the biggest PPV star, but he was made for the social media era. Would have probably fought in America earlier than he did and had some solid PPV fights.

Maybe I did order it lol. I remember I watched it with a friend when I lived in Hawaii. I was a huge Prince fan. Now the fight with Kid Vegas definitely was on HBO because I watched that at a hotel room in Dallas. First night meeting up with a chick I met on AOL lol.

You could have just watched the replay on HBO the following week?

I watched it live with a 40 and a friend. I must’ve ordered it if it was on PPV. I always liked the prince.

Not in the UK.


Naz for me blew it. He should never be mentioned in the same breath as Barerra/Morales/Marquez. He fought one..got outclassed and quit. His whole persona and ego took a nose dive after that night! And he never got over it.

stop making excuses.

funny how he only lost interest once he had to start taking real fights.....

Not making excuses. Just stating facts. MAB was the better fighter that night. But that doesn't change the fact that Nas was a shell of his former self after leaving Brendan Ingle. Much like how Tyson was a shell of his former self after he was no longer with Cus D'Amato and Kevin Rooney. Nas wasn't as skillful anymore, he barely even trained for the MAB fight, and never attempted to avenge his loss, showing just how spoilt he'd become by the riches and how little he cared about boxing anymore. He no longer had the hunger, the eye of the tiger. Which has happened to plenty of fighters, e.g. Tyson, Nas, Maidana, AJ, etc. And BTW, simply stating the fact that Nas deteriorated doesn't mean I'm claiming a prime Nas would've necessarily beaten MAB (I can't say for sure either way).

Nas cleaned-out and dominated the featherweight division in the '90s. The champs he beat back then were real fighters, the top dogs of the division. Manuel Medina, for example, was a five-time featherweight champ. Kevin Kelley was also a solid featherweight champ before his loss to Nas. Augie Sanchez was the last fighter to defeat Floyd Mayweather in the amateurs. And so on. Nas was the man of the division in the '90s. Even a young upcoming Mayweather looked up to Nas at the time. MAB's defeat of Nas in 2001 marked the end of an era, and the beginning of a new era for the division.

No denying his talent but he got beat by Barrera and he would have lost to Morales/Marqez. With Floyd and Manny in the weights above him he knew he was done.

Now he would be Broner level. or Broner is what Naz would be if he carried on fighting.

so its just a coincidence that he ducked EVERYONE

and when he fought a slightly above average guy like barrera
he got all the self belief beaten out of him...

nas is a cautionary tale....
(of cowardice)

Prince naseem fought from 1992 to 2002. No social media exposure and barely any internet. What ppv stars were there from 1992 to 2002? None. Stop being a fool

PPV was popping in the 90s and early 2000s man.Tyson more than anyone else, but DLH was still doing his thing though. And Ali was the PPV star of the 70s. PPV stars have been around for a very long time. If Hamed was PPV material he was around in the time to be a PPV star.
