    If you look at it Mayweather got his audience from De La Hoya in 2007. De La Hoya was a big PPV star and then a record audience saw Mayweather barely beat him. And thats when the transition seems to have taken place.

    Yes I remember it. God, I couldn't have cared less at the time! I just don't understand why people would pay for a FMJ fight !!!

    I agree 110%. It wasn’t Pac-Man himself. His fan base is really the only fan base in all of sports that I hate and I mean it.

    I think Mayweather got such great PPV numbers because so many people hated him and wanted to see him lose

    Yes. Floyd was not a fan-favoutite so he technically doesn't count in this thread. He sold out arenas because he was a polarizing figure that marketed himself as a cocky, flashy fighter that fans wanted to see lose.
