I've never bought a Floyd fight expecting to see him lose.... because he hasn't fought anybody I thought had a chance of winning. I was excited to watch ODLH, Hatton, Marquez and Cotto. I bought Mosley & Ortiz just to be watching a fight. Used to watch him on HBO all the time when he was coming up.
I never met anyone in real life that actually bought a fighter's fight because they wanted to see him lose. Could you imagine someone like lance buying Floyd's ppv?
A LOT of casual fight fans do too. That is why he has totally embraced the over the top total ass hat persona he touts. He knows exactly how he comes across. Infamy and Fame amount to dollars just the same.
bought the cotto fight for a good fight. bought the ortiz fight just to watch a fight. If I choose the first one, many mofos here would accuse me of being a hater. If I choose the second one, many mofos would accouse me of being a voidrider. WTF is happening to boxing today?
