    It's rumored to have done $1.6 million, so this "mismatch" you're calling isn't as bad as you thought it was and it's yet another PPV against an opponent Pac fought which Mayweather easily wins when it comes to PPV numbers. Not only that but it looks to have completely crushed the UFC card, good for boxing you ask?, are you stupid?, how is that bad for boxing?

    Didn't Pac fight Larios moving up two weight divisions and coming off a loss to Vasquez?

    Didn't Trinidad fight Mayorga moving up two weight divisions and coming off a loss to Spinks in his come back?

    Didn't Frazier and Ali fight Foster moving up two weight divisions from light heavy?

    Didn't Tarver fight Hopkins moving up two weight divisions coming off two losses to Taylor?

    Didn't Ruiz fight Roy Jones moving up two weight divisions?

    Didn't Holmes fight Spinks moving up two weight divisions?

    Want me to nail your ass with other examples?

    The fight was a good one and looks to have smashed the "threatening" UFC event to pieces. If you're a fan of this sport and not just people from your country you wouldn't have started a thread to boycott a fight. Sadly, you and the idiots that think like you don't represent the sport and I'm glad the likes of you don't as you are a disgrace.

    What happened to Mayweather faking injury to sell tickets and PPV buys?, what happened to Mayweather hiring gang members to ride his car and shoot random people in the street because they're not buying tickets?

    Weren't those theories fully supported by you leading up to this fight?. You have some nerved bumping this thread looking like the jackass you are. Logging out and ****ing off is what I expected yet it seems you enjoy being a stubborn idiotic troll.

    So don't you consider Floyd-JMM a mismatch fight? Don't you consider it a joke tuneup fight? Did you find the fight very exciting? I understand you believed in GBP/HBO hyping this fight as a "superfight"... I also noticed that you voted YES in the poll... You're one of those who were clamoring/demanding for this fight to be made since you consider it a very exciting fight...:lol:

    Don't get me wrong, I prefer boxing over UFC/MMA any day... But IMO boxing is hyping the wrong fights... How can boxing getaway promoting a mismatch fight as a "superfight"??... What can you say to those newcomers to boxing commenting "That very fast big guy mauling an older looking, slower, weaker little guy"?? Will you tell them that's a boxing "superfight"...:rofl

    JMM was very much disadvantaged in that fight... He looked like a fool who can't do nothing to the much bigger and faster guy... Poor JMM...:-( Boxing should have not allowed this mismatch fight to happen... Fans should not have supported this kind of trickery...

    Hate to say it but these aren't very apt comparisons to the PBF vs JMM fight because you forgot one important fact: JMM has spent 90% of his career at 126 not 135. In the examples below all of the fighters that moved up 2 weight divisions spent most of their career at the weight division they moved up from. Also half had already fought at least a few times at the division above their career weight class.

    Larios spent most of his career at 122 and moved up to 130 for the Pacquaio fight.

    Mayorga spent most of his career at 147 and had previously fought at 154, moved up to 160 for Trinidad fight.

    Foster spent most of his career at 175 and had previously fought above 200 lbs.

    Hopkins was a career middleweight (160) and moved up to 175 for Tarver.

    Jones Jr. spent most of his career at 175 and moved up to heavy.

    Spinks fought at 175 most of his career and moved up to heavy.

    JMM fought most of his career at 126 and had only moved up to 135 one year before the PBF fight which makes the above examples not very valid.

    The fight wasn't a good one let alone very compelling if you are being honest with yourself. I can't imagine how mismatched tune-up fights sold as legit fights on PPV help the sport move forward in any positive way. :bart

    When you are facing off with UFC yes.

    Of course, like you said before, to you Pac is boxing and without Pac you wouldn't be on this forum or even watching the sport.

    Well you already don't do one of what I just said .

    Your opinion means nothing and it was proven, if it was a pointless fight it wouldn't have sold that much. Mayweather just made more fighting Marquez than Pac did fighting DLH, that should shut you up already.

    I don't think it was a pointless fight, for someone coming 2 years off to fight Marquez is NOT a bad fight. No one knew how Mayweather was going to perform and how he was going to look, no one expected him to show no rust whatsoever either.

    As I said, your opinion is worthless and was proven. You claimed the fight is not selling **** and now you look like a bigger fool still trying to remain stubborn. A pointless/worthless fight doesn't make that much money competing with UFC and we all know UFC was kicking Boxing's ass recently till this event came and Mayweather decided to fight them head to head on the same night.

    I'm not 'IN THE SPORT' I'm a fan of the sport. As a fan of the sport, I look to the best and most exciting (not always same) matchups. My concerns with Scar's point are valid... sorry you can't take when people don't share your opinions, you might not like internet forums much. :deal

    P.S. Who is BUSTER? :tong

    Because Floyd would go for it instead of fighting someone more meaningful in Welterweight.
    I would of preferred to of seen Floyd against Mosley or Cotto.
    Pacquiao or Valero against JMM.

    No one will know exactly what will happen in a fight but we have this thing called prediction and fight analysis... Many predicted that this would end up a mismatch fight... The Floyd we knew and the JMM we knew came to that fight... It's not that there were surprises in that mismatch fight...

    I admit, I might be wrong on the sales expectations but my take on the fight is dead on... That what's matter most to me... Unlike some here who were so proud of the rumored big PPV numbers without even saying a word on the trickery of that mismatched fight...
