    400k from THREE AND A HALF MILLION is some comedown, no?

    Guess that's why Floyd needs to fight the most popular combat athlete that is active (McGregor) as nobody in Boxing is generating anymore.

    McGregor is the face of combat sports, period. Not Mayweather. Mayweather is an old man.

    Canelo badly needs GGG to bump his PPV numbers.

    yeh but whos gonna compare with ATGs? Pacman is biggest it gets apart. Its a fake yeardstick. 3G is merely a unified champ, its not a fair comparison.

    Agreed, sir!

    Floyd, for all his talk and numbers, really has no reason to call out a guy from ANOTHER SPORT for a fight under HIS rules other than he knows they draw the crowds and dollars in.

    What's even worse is that Floyd STARTED this rumour! Lol. Just goes to show that even he knows that the general boxing public has had enough of his talk/antics.

    McGregor actually goes out and A) Faces the best, B) Stops them brutally. Floyd does neither.

    Why do people care so much about PPV buys?

    I mean, Crawford vs Postol did only 50k but it was a better matchup than Pac / Vargas or Canelo / Smith.

    Exactly. Then Floyd says 'I know I contradict myself a lot of times' - he's said this so many times and it's come to the point where he owes the world a public apology for being such a dumbass. The funniest part of it all is his biggest fans defend his contradictions.

    Floyd is special needs.

    Boxing is the top sport in Mexico and canelo only draws 250,000 quite pathetic if you ask me.

    Yeah yeah yeah all of this while being pimped by the UFC for pennies some face of combat sports this guy is.:risas3::risas3::risas3: PBF made more against Berto than this guy has for his whole career, log off. PBF made more against Berto in a fight that did only 400K in buys than this guy did and everyone on that card combined in a UFC PPV that did well over a million, let that sink in.

    lol mcgregor was the one mentioning floyds name. Conor wouldnt be half as popular if he wasnt saying 'i am the mayweather of ufc' or 'i'll fight mayweather' ..... floyd didn't know who the guy was.

    also the only 'top' contender that he beat was aldo.
    he then lost to nate diaz, people seem to forget this.
    The rematch was that close you could split it in a lot of peoples eyes.

    however the thread has turned back to mayweather again (obviously still the biggest name in any combat sport). in regards to the thread, pac man will always sell as long as he is winning belts. Canelo is there already with his 900,000 plus with cotto. He had a fight for a belt that they put on ppv for some strange reason and it did ok based on no one really knowing his opponent.

    either way

    LOL
