    JOnes vs. Calzaghe did horrible buys. As far as Floyd attracting fans and giving a snooze performance. Personally I didn't find the fight boring at all but if you compare his fights with DLH this was definitely more interesting. Yet people still bought the Hatton fight so that doesn't hold water either.

    Lastly, since this place is filled with so many uninformed childish Maywether haters. HAHA. Now one bullet you have in saying "he doesn't draw" is removed,lol.

    Also Top Ranks/Arum's smear campaign obviously didn't work also..

    What about the DLH fight? or the Hatton fight? I think those were pretty close kid..... if not bigger for the DLH fight.

    Over 30,000 showed up for the Floyd fight(most of course didn't get tickets). His fight against Castillo wasn't even close to selling out and his fans had unlimited acces to tix.

    No I remember correctly close to 10 thousand brits plus Mexican fight fans it was packed that night, not all done by Hatton but the turn out of Brits flying over is why Floyd wanted it...

    No, you're not remembering correctly. Anyway, when Tyso fought Frank Bruno the first time, most of the people in attendance were cheering for Bruno. Are you going to tell me Mike Tyson wasn't the draw?

    Did you see how the British fans responded to Floyd when he went over there before this last fight?

    They came out in droves to see HIM!

    it would be interesting to see a demographic on which Boxer viewer's were rooting for. I think it would be the same trend as the Hatton fight (2 mil in uk v. less than 1 mil in US). Meaning more ppl watched it because of the opponent PBF was facing. PBF v. Baldomir did like 325k and Mayweather Judah did 350k according to reports I've seen on other forums. I don't think it's Mayweather moving the numbers. More like DLH (strong mexican and american backing), Marquez ( pretty good Mexican backing but still kinda low key explaining only 1 million) and your Hatton numbers speak for themselves. He's a great boxer but most ppl who are not hardcore fans find his fights boring. ATG P4P nonetheless, the numbers speak but just cover your ears its not that serious.

    You think there are not alot of Hardcore fans that feel the same way? I mean look in the gyms here in Los Angeles Floyds performance is a joke in most the gyms here reaction in the gyms with real fighters is all I need to work with
