    A lot of people say Floyd is only a big draw at the box office and PPV buys because most people pay to watch him finally lose a fight, if/when that happens do you think he will still be able to get a lot of PPV buys and fast ticket sales?

    Yes, everyone likes a comeback story. It would actually open up a new angle on Mayweather, and possibly build more interest in him. Of course, this all depends on who he loses to and how he loses.

    He'll be a bigger draw when he loses.

    Depends i think if he gets robbed for example i believe he will or loses a close fight. But if he gets completely destroyed everyone will just say he got exposed.

    I doubt it. Fans just don't flock to see him fight. Most tune in to watch him lose and once that happens, the curiosity factor is eliminated.

    he was a draw because of hatton
    he was a draw because of DLH

    he was a curiosity factor for marquez after being inactive for almost 2 years

    where was his drawing power vs the sharmba mitcehlls, victoriano sosas, henry brussels?

    he cant carry a serious ppv alone....

    Maybe you're right, but if the majority of folks who are purchasing his fights are his "haters" then I think they could care less if he makes a comeback.

    He'll still be a draw but not nearly has big of a draw...

    Think about it, would Marciano make anyone's top 10 if he had lost? It's a moot point because he never did but you understand what I'm saying...

    I didn't say I think the majority of people who buy his fights are his haters, I said 'if the majority are his haters'. I'm just going just throwing that scenario out there based off what others say as to why Floyd is such a big draw.

    No one can. Unless your name is Tyson.

    not even DLH carried PPV's by himself.

    And Hatton was the draw?

    He never had a PPV in the USA before that, and didn't exactly do great in PPV's in the UK prior.

    You forgot to add the most important of all. He's a draw because of Marquez. :lol:

    Have fun now, fool.

    Yes he will be a draw, maybe even a bigger draw and it depends how he loses. People will still want to see how he will perform in his come back and if it will affect him. A rematch with the fighter he lost to, regardless of result, is a guarantee draw as well.
