Mayweather never had a big fan base what he did was use the hate people had for him to great effect and it worked for him he took the role of the bad guy knowing this was the only way people would pay to watch him. Mayweather could never draw over 800 buys against a fighter with no fan base such as clottey,berto,bradley fighters like tyson,oscar dela hoya,pacquaio got people to pay because they were entertained What mayweather did very well was act the villian and get people to pay to see him lose their is a reason why he thanks his team so much for the bussiness moves they made. Mayweather needed mexican fighters or ppv stars(mayweather loves mexico he often says this) to get big numbers take this 2 away then you get the numbers he got for berto. Mayweather has never after he fought oscar fought a guy with a low fan base apart from berto
Really. So before and after both opponents fought Mayweather they were drawing big ratings and crowds due to their Mexican fanbase? Thought not.
the biggest factor is the date. mexicans are the biggest buyers and on their holiday they need entertainment. they make good marketing and ensure the date is theirs exclusive.
Having people pay to see you get beat is just as good as having people pay to cheer you. Its all about how many asses you put in the seats, and one way or the other, Floyd put asses in the seats
Floyd mayweather's personal drawing power: https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/...J_UMrJEvaCn8ZlbeJHskzwD2amKyUzzbqv0de8yZVQeXa Gotta admit: brilliant boxer though.
The TS will have nothing but excuses from your post. He will claim Mosley had a huge fan base despite the fact he was booed in his hometown when he fought Margo.
First fight after his jail sentence and first fight after a 16 month layoff. Both guys beat Berto at the time.
schooling is a ****ing idiot with a Mayweather obsession. He actually loves Floyd and wishes that he would fight again. He is probably camped out in front of the community where the Big Boy mansion is hoping to get a glace at Floyd's head.
