Sure, Pac was disappointing and should have sold out but any who understands boxing that by then, Mayweather had developed an incredibly safety-first style that played a numbers game with the judging. Floyd is absolutely to blame for making that fight hideous. This was the fight of the century, the one where Mayweather's fans predicted he would lay down a beating on Pac to end all the nonsense he suffered. And what happened? He fought mostly scared against a small, injured fighter
Going back to the original question, the low PPV numbers are:
- Mayweather-Pac
- Streaming. Everyone is getting sophisticated at this now.
- Promoters and fighters not selling themselves better to the public. Look how British boxing is thriving. Joshua is the most mind-numblingly boring boxing personality in the world but all his fights are events.
