Who will receive the Floyd Mayweather treatment first...

[A.K]

A fighter like Floyd will never happen again that’s a once in a lifetime fighter they won’t ever re-create just like Shane Mosley wasn’t the next sugar ray leanord. Spence and wilder are making their own mark in their own way but it’s nothing Floyd like.

[4truth]

Are we to pretend that Wilder or Spence are special cases? Look how many have rejoiced over Ruiz beating the stuffing out of the overstuffed Joshua (Not me )..or even Canelo's dubois decision win over Golovkin.

Which fighters exactly don't have any such fans? Any fighters that don't have fans hoping to see them lose, probably just aren't very well known yet.

Wilder

Really? Had your crush not came up with that Money May persona, with that safety first style he would have fought in as much obscurity as guys like Whitaker, Hopkins, and Winky Wright.

Who actually would pay big bucks to see that spoiler style? Only his die hards like you and Larry.

Actually millions of people pay to see great skill. Fans love to see excellence. Greatness. Notice that the cash cows after ali have been Tyson, SRL, ODH and Floyd. Only one was pure power. Fans want to see power in the Hwt division but skill in all the others.

Whitaker didn't fight in obscurity. WTF are you talking about? Hopkins and Wright were high risk, low reward guys that couldn't get fights but both are HOF'ers. I don't having either of their careers is a negative.

Spence easily

He’s already been more successful at selling fights

Let's keep it a buck here. As skilled and technical as Floyd is, take away the Money May persona, and all the antics on 24/7. At ww Floyd's style with no ko's doesn't get half the ppv buys he got for fighting guys like Guerrero, Ortiz, Maidana imo.

which means you've just reiterated the 1st lesson for any pro fighter-its about putting asses in the seats. If Floyd's persona got them to buy a seat, or his skills, it doesn't really matter. All that matters is the seat is sold.

Of course, had ODH or Shane fought Floyd when he 1st called them out, he may not have needed the money may persona. Adapt or die! Floyd adapted.

I don't really see Spence doing too much to pull bigger crowds but win and being himself. The guys who he claimed were ducking are now stepping up to the plate accordingly.

Spence desn't appear to have the kind of persona that Ali, Tyson or Floyd have. He could end up being the next Hagler where he just fights and beats everyone and people gravitate toward him because he does win.

I am hoping to see Spence fight Manny, Crawford, Muniaga and eventually Canelo. If he can work his way to 160 undefeated then he an Canelo could be the next super fight.

Spence or Wilder? Who will be the first to have fans(pay to see them lose?)

Itll have to be Wilder. Spence is at least making fights with the top welters, although he's still hiding from Bud.

Wilder on the other hand is rematching a guy nobody wants to see him fight again and turned down a record setting amount of money to fight AJ for ALL THE BELTS.
