    "HIS last fight" being the point.

    How many other fighters out there have taken part in fights with more than 400k? (Not including fights where they fought Mayweather)

    So what you're saying is that the fight sold poorly because Floyd selected Berto. Meaning, if Floyd selected Golovkin, it'd do poorly too? Or if Haymon selected Berto instead of Floyd, it'd do better?

    Choose your words carefully before coming off as an idiot.

    Hopkins does 300k+ buys regularly.

    Cotto/Canelo will do huge numbers.

    Manny did in that ballpark versus Algieri.

    Tyson and Oscar have done double that.

    Wrong, because Floyd is the only fighter to pull career high PPV's consistently. You're letting your emotion blind you.

    Are you stupid, alex?

    If Floyd would have faced GGG, a top welter etc he'd have done a lot more than 400k buys.

    Floyd vs Manny, 4.4 mil.

    Algieri vs Manny 350k.

    You were saying?

    That's because high PPV numbers are generated by an exciting match up. Which Floyd-berto was far from.

    So an ATG like Hopkins regularly does less than Floyd at his worst in years.

    Cotto-Martinez did less than 400k

    So essentially 3 guys have done more than 400k in the past 30 or so years of PPV, in fights not including Mayweather?

    And thats TERRIBLE for Floyd? Worthy of ridicule?

    Manny was on a comeback trail, and Chris was a nobody.

    Make me laugh how Chris isn't as popular as Berto yet did similar numbers.

    And Maidana was going to be exciting? He was seen as a joke opponent.

    They were ALL popular PRIOR to facing Floyd, do you not get that?
