    Interesting. I was surprised that a bunch of my friends who are basically casual fans who only tune in 2-3 times in a typical year, actually ordered the fight - I know of 3 buys in my circle of friends that surprised me, and a few more that were predictable.

    Take a step back, deep breath and consider you are thinking with your emotions and not considering facts and you will see how silly your post is

    Check ppv numbers for ufc fights compared to boxing (ditto for fight purses)

    Check floyds natural weight class and the fact he fought the number one guy in a division he does not belong in at 36 years of age and didnt win, dominated

    And if you are ragging on floyds style then to put it simply boxing by definition is not for you because floyd is the best example of what boxing is supposed to be "to hit and not get hit"

    Id like you to manup and apologise

    I'd like to see Floyd take more chances and knock people out But then again he might end up getting knocked out himself

    This is great for boxing. Floyd vs Pac would be even better still.

    Dan Rafael: Mayweather-Guerrero only sold 870k PPV buys.
    ESB *****s: fat ass ****! he's lying! it sold over 1m! that's not official!

    Dan Rafael: Canelo- Mayweather may well go over 2m buys.
    ESB *****s: amazing! awesome! preach it brother! this guy telling the truth!

    Not because of Canelo, but because they believed Canelo had a shot at beating Mayweather.

    Fans wanted Oscar to shut up Floyd, then wanted Manny to shut up Floyd, and they wanted Canelo to shut up Floyd. Translation: Floyd!!!
