    Whose fights are memorable?

    In fact, whose fights dating back to the dawn of the PPV era have had comparable viewership numbers? I'll accept answers like Tyson, Holyfield, and De La Hoya, because they were each the biggest draw at one point or another, and all are well remembered, and will continue to be well remembered.

    Sure, they had more exciting fights than Floyd. Which begs the question...

    If his fights are so unmemorable, why are people always buying them in record breaking events?

    Oh! He'll be remembered, alright.

    Aside from sports fans nobody knew Joe anymore. He wasn't making commercials. Ali sold the rights to 80% of his name for 50 million. Joe was living above his gym. Pretty clear that America forgets many of there sports heroes.

    Well... earning a living, making commercials, and poor living conditions... you act as if these are the only 3 elements that help constitute whether one is remembered or not?

    A lot of people died broke and out of the spotlight who are well remembered. So I haven't the slightest clue what you're getting at.

    They're remembered because they were exciting.

    Same as Prince Naseem Hamed and he was never the biggest draw.

    See as a great coach once said, what people remember is how you make them feel. Floyd's fights generate frustration and boredom, nobody wants to remember that and nobody will.

    Joe wasn't broke. But aside from boxing forums he wasn't being talked about anymore. It's not to hard to see what i'm saying as it's been mentioned by many a sports scribe upon Joe's death.

    @bollywooden did you actually watch the fight?
    Paciou has to stop doing the camera shot where he shows him self shadow boxing and makes some stupid noises punching the air with super speed

    Because he might go into the ring shadow boxing and punching air and missing looking like a dude gone mad and looking like he's trying swat flies around some bull****!!

    Oh hold on is that what he was doing
