    Canelo was as instrumental for the success of Canelo/Floyd as FLoyd was for
    the success of DLH/FLoyd and we all know Pac had a lot to do with the unprecedented success their fight.

    I just explained it. It's simple math.

    FLoyd got a guaranteed $30+ just to step in the ring. Do you have any idea how many PPV buys they needed just to hit the break even point.

    Fight was a failure. Admit it and move on.:deal

    Exactly what I've been saying. It takes TWO to tango

    10 times worse than HIS OWN FIGHT!

    "MUCH" more than 3 people have done over 400k in PPV in fights not including Mayweather?
    Name them


    I count
    Manny
    Tyson
    Holyfield
    DLH

    Thats 4...am I missing anyone?

    (Obviously Im including fights that include these guys, and not the B side fighters they fought)

    :?
    They did 4 million homes with Pacquiao fight. I would reckon that the Berto fight didn't hurt the bottom line.

    :rofl:lol:
    Yep
    The PPV and gate were not up to par for a Floyd fight but Showtime made mad money off the contract with the exception of one fight.
    Who really cares:nut

    I don't get no cash so life and boxing goes on with or without Floyd:thumbsup

    Just goes to prove my theory about Floyd not being a draw and relying on Hispanic opponents.
