    Point is they both lost their child FACT! Can you imagine what that would have done to both of them and impacted the chances of them staying together. How do we know she is not bitter at losing her child and Caleb especially since he has found happiness with another woman who happens to be beautiful and high profile.

    Why would anyone think that they are privy to enough accurate information to such a private and sensitive matter, and to what is in Plants head and heart on that matter, and what truly transpired, based on he said she said account's of what they read on the internet, enough to actively dislike someone based on it.

    How do we know anything about it? We know nothing. FACT. Plant could lie. His ex-wife could lie. The only thing i know is that both his ex and his current wife looking absolutely identical. That's funny somehow.

    800k for a non-superfight I consider great.

    UFC does a better job of hyping the bad blood between the fighters and when I watch sports news casts like ESPN on TV, they hype and talk more about MMA than they do boxing.

    In boxing you really need two known names to sell over 1.5million ppv's. Plant is not a known name to the casuals.

    Great numbers for fighting a relative unknown and a crappy undercard to boot.

    Solid numbers. Not great but better than what other PPV would do on the same night of a decent UFC card

    If they look identical it might merely indicate he has a type. My point exactly we know nothing about but some here to willing to take a side without any real foundation.

    Kind of difficult to judge someone that lost a child. People act differently. If you weere to lose a child, God forbid, you may be very supportive of your wife. Some people withdraw, become angry etc. Can't be too critical of Plant.

    To date, the Backstreet Boys remain the most popular boy band of all time in terms of sales. One Direction also broke numerous records during their six-year run

    1 Backstreet Boys
    Wrapping the list up at spot number one is the most iconic boy band of the 90s — the Backstreet Boys. They were formed in 1993 and the group consists of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, and Kevin Richardson.

    The Backstreet Boys went on a hiatus in 2002 but already in 2004, the boy band got back together. The Backstreet Boys have released a total of 10 studio albums which were sold in over 100 million copies worldwide.


    They're ******* garbage! :facepalm:

    To quote Mark Twain, there are lies, damn lies, and boxing PPV numbers.

    It's a different era. More people stream fights illegally.

    Mayweather vs Berto did about 400K

    Pacquiao never passed 500k after the Mayweather fight.

    800K against a fighter no one heard of where Canelo was a clear favorite is good by today's standards.

    You know why that is? Because Floyd wouldn't fight the next big thing at the end of his career like Oscar did with him. Instead, he kept on.and on.

    Canelo needed a passing of the torch fight, but he fought Floyd too early.
