    Dude, these guys are purely Mayweather fans, when their man wins in dominating fashion if you don't like it, you don't know boxing. They think that because Mayweather is a boxer first every fight of his is amazing. They ****ing suck.

    i think people are missing something here.... the odds for guerrero went to evens, which means many people thought me may win... mayweather dominates all the 'i knew mayweather would win easy' people pop up.. another thing to an above comment, mayweather through straight right hands all night... true but guerrero said he can adapt in the ring etc... isn't it up to him to take floyds right hand away from him? If you were in the ring and throwing right hands n they were landing none stop would you realy stop?? you never change whats working. If guerrero had of stopped it im sure floyd would of found something different to do.

    And there's nothing wrong with that.

    Most folks that watch auto racing are just waiting for the next crash. Very few know **** about engines or suspensions.

    If most NFL games ended in a 0 -0 tie, almost no one would watch, no matter how skillful the battle.

    Most folks that listen to music just wanna' dance or play air guitar. Very few get heavily into jazz, or study audio engineering so as to have a deeper appreciation of all those mp3's they're illegally downloading.

    Most folks who watch boxing just want to see KO's. And why not? So do I, for the most part, and I used to box. Lord knows, I'll die happy if I never see another Rios-Alvarado, but KO's are fun. I admit it.


    Boxing is just another form of show business. Get over it.

    It's not just a sport, boxing. It's also a business and in business you have to give your customer good product. Sadly n this business you have to entertain your customers and its in this category that Floyd failed and totally SUCK at it. He is boring. Period. If he isn't obnoxious and an SOB he will be like Ward. Great fighter but can't sell.

    This is true. But it's not a "once in a while" occurrence that a fighter expresses the art, all styles have a science to them. Slick black counter-punchers are not the only ones being well-coordinated, efficient, accurate, and graceful.

    That's because you're not a real warrior like these other guys on this forum.

    you probably dont realize that youre strengthening his argument. the most profitable sports market in the world finds soccer too boring to spend money on it, but spends billions on football.
    you should really think these things through so that your argument remains consistent with the point youre trying to make.

    Yet this dude does great at putting people in seats and making them go in there wallets to see him fight. How does someone who is so boring become the highest paying athlete? Either he's incredibly smart or the ones who think he's borning incredibly stupid, to keep buying his so call boring fights.

    I was never under it to have to get over it. Floyd is not new to the boxing scene. If one is a fan of boxing then they already know how Floyd fights. So why keep watching/buying the fights then? If one thinks he's boring then don't tune in. I like basketball but I don't watch every team play because every team don't interest me. I don't talk about teams that don't intreast me. I simply don't tune in.

    Uh, no. Because my point was not limited to the opinion of just 'the most profitable sports market in the world'.

    Having said that, 'the most profitable sports market in the world' has made Floyd Mayweather the highest paid athlete in the world and THE premier PPV attraction in boxing. In other words, more people in 'the most profitable sports market in the world' is paying more money watch Mayweather do EXACTLY what is being claimed they have no interest in seeing than any other fighter on this planet.

    Good try though, but next time stay in your lane. :nono

    According to ESB standards, you're also a glass-jawed fraud, a coward, and grossly overrated.
