    Half the threads on this forum are about how much a fighter earns, how much a PPV pulled in or how many cars Mayweather (The Baby Erection) has. The worst of the lot are the *****s that brag about their lifestyle hero's money like their getting a piece of it.

    On the plus side, it does show that there is a growing interest among the casuals.

    Lol those people think the more ppv the greater the fighter becomes, though in floyds case, people just wanna pay to see him get ****ed up.

    I have no idea. I don't see a ****ing penny of it when I buy a fight, I'm the one paying. As long as the fights that matter to the FANS are made that's all I care about. If it's a shite match-up I'll keep my wallet full and catch it later on youtube.

    Most fighters just want to fight(maybe) 2 times a year against mismatched opponents and think they should get Mayweather type money for it.

    We could get into why a segment of people would find that kind of behavior natural, but there would be a whole lot of butthurt and bans would be involved.:rofl

    most people dont care. if you pulled up the last 1000 posts that bragged about how much money a fighter is making, i guarantee it would be the same dumb nuthuggers who will never see $5000 in their hand at one time. its the same bunch that pretended miss jackson was more than just a high peiced *****.

    yeah, i find it funny as hell.

    people saying things like "i can't wait until they're PPV so i can pay $70 for a fight". it's just crazy stupid. but hey, it's ESB. there's lots of loonies here.

    Exactly! Good topic. There is no longer a beat "all" the best you can, to prove you really are the best. Too much of this bull****, High Risk, Low reward crap. It's a cop out. Money has taken over the spirit of proving who the better man is.

    Wasn't it the *******s who started all this **** and now they can't take it when it's rubbed back in their face. Remember this ... Pac is an asian megastar, he doesn't need to fight in the USA anymore. There's no taxes in China. He'll make big $$ in Asia, more than Floyd. There's 2 billion people over there and he'll break all PPV records. Rios will do 1.5M PPV easy.

    Remember when Pac fought on Showtime. Showtime is backed by CBS and Pac is going to make bank over Floyd. They'll televise Pac on national TV. HA HA.

    My what short memories people have. I remember *******s. I remember.
