Anyone sick of Mayweather always taking credit for PPV numbers?

    As some of you may know, Canelo has a significant following from Hispanics, more than Marquez (especially after he used PEDs which made people lose respect), Morales, etc.

    Mayweather constantly brags about his PPV numbers (so much bragging that it's hard to ignore) but does he not realize that in all of his recent PPV fights, he had Canelo on the undercard?
    Canelo on the undercard for Mayweather-Cotto, Mayweather-Ortiz, Mayweather-Mosley, etc.

    What happened when you take away Canelo on the undercard? Oh right, look at Mayweather vs Guerrero PPV numbers. "The proof is in the pudding". The numbers did **** and angered Showtime execs. Where was his bragging on that? His fragile insecure ego won't allow him to give others credit.

    guerrero was just a **** opponent to have on a ppv

    no disrespect to guerrero he was a nice little challenge, just not ppv worthy, at least in my opinion.

    mayweather is the best fighter of the last 15-20 years, he talks trash and people can't wait to see him lose, thus the ppv ratings.

    I think the ref will be somewhat nervous because he has to do whatever Mayweather tells him to?

    Ahhhhhhhh......................and Mayweather's famous judges..................how can they score against him and not lose their jobs? Does Void own them 100%, or is that just a rumor? The judges are somewhat nervous. Look at the judge who in a round the had Pac landed 2 punches to 1 in the Bradley fight............................Wonder if Mayweather had any influence on that? I wonder................Void is afraid to fight Pac, has been every since Pac stopped Cotto. Void, Sr. said that Void, Jr. will never fight Pac and he appears to have kept his word..........

    Mayweather by himself only does decent numbers. Look at his latest fight for the proof. He needs to give fighters who served on his undercard some credit.

    Why wasn't Canelo vs Trout a PPV fight?

    A little bit, I've never paid a single cent to watch May fight. He is slick and skillful but what's the point when he fights no hopers like Ortiz and Guerrero. This will be the first May PPV I pay some money for (splitting the cost with friends). But it's only cuz he's Fighting Canelo and we got Crispy vs the Machine on the undercard.

    just another thing, 870k ppv buys fighting a nobody, a dude who doesn't even have a mexican or latin american fanbase and can't even speak spanish is nothing to sneeze at.

    the only one guy I can think of that could generate more ppv's fighting a nobody was Tyson, and damn it he was the freaking baddest man on the planet.

    Then why don't those 40k tickets bring in more money at the gate than the 15k at MGM if you don't need ppv?

    Think about it...
