    Should Floyd go back to talking mad **** to promote his fights?

    I hope you mean you can't wait to Regretfully bump in a week. If mayweather breaks a million fighting Guerrero then what's stoping him from doing the same by fighting Gavin Reese?

    I love how ******s are celebrating under $1 million PPV buys as if it's Mayweather's ticket to retirement.

    He's gotta do something.

    The low subscribership of Showtime means that their 24/7 equivalent is almost useless in building up the fight...and even if you watched, Guerrero's sob story about his wife and his ignorant acting father(who was the most help, actually)

    They had no faceoff and didn't start the media blitz until a week before the fight. Poorly planned and executed by Showtime/CBS

    Floyd don't need to do anything. He is guaranteed 32 million for that fight regardless and the mofo has over $50+ million dollars net worth and is set for life.

    think it has more to do with opponent selection and how stacked the card is as opposed to Floyd playing a loudmouth character.

    he actually doesnt have to do anything SHOWTIME has to. Mayweather will cash his check everytime he fights. People celbrating this need to realize IF this is true it doesnt hurt Mayweather it hurt the other fighters on SHOWTIME

    Floyd has his guarantee, but him helping build up the fight could lead to more buys and more money.

    Do you think for one second that Mayweather cares? Whether it sold 10 or 10 million PPV's he was guaranteed 32 mil. Those laughing at the numbers thinking it makes Mayweather look bad think again. He is getting paid regardless and is the highest paid athlete in the world and isn't giving 27% off the top to Bob Arum either.............
