Floyd "Money" Mayweather once again proves he is the face of Boxing

In America, yes.

There isn't one first world nation which has a more xenophobic, insular attitude than America.

 

How ****ing tiresome.

Can we have a forum set up outside of boxing that discusses PPV's, who deserves what percentage of the cut, and what excellent businessmen boxers are by being obnoxious wankers.

Call the forum "**** that nobody apart from the boxers themselves should care about".

and leave this forum to actually talk about the part of boxing that you know, actually involves boxing.

 

Don't ask him what he "thinks".....b/c a Floyd fanatic will always "think" Floyd is better than anyone at anything at anytime. Plus, that question is really nothing that needs to be asked. it's a given.

 

If Mayweather himself thought he was selling any PPV's over here, he would have asked for some of the PPV money. He didn't receive anything and neither did Pacquiao, because they both realise that they didn't add anything.

Talking about the UK PPV's is ridiculous. Pacquiao and Mayweather contributed very little.

 

Yeah I don't understand why nobody brings this up...such built in promotion: "coming back from retirement" or "this might be his last fight" or "at best, he ain't gonna fight for another year or more"

 

Popularity doesn't always equate to PPV#'s....although Duran probably would have done extremely well in the US if there were PPV's in his day.

Tito and Miguel are NOT PPV draws like Tyson, DLH, Floyd or Manny kid. Not even close. Tito and Miguel are on Shane Mosely's level.

White folk and a lot of the GENERAL sporting fans that usually make up a LARGE portion of the PPV's in big events boycotted the fight boy.

And collectively they grouped US and UK PPV's together and Floyd only outsold PAC in the US and collectively.

 

the FARCE of boxing
with a total of 6 big fights in 5 years

1) against Judah...coming off to a loss to a guy with 9 losses
2) against a guy with 9 losses
3) against a jr welter who is as over hyped as they come
4) against a 13 year career FEATHERWEIGHT
5) against a broken down golden boy who would be in the middle of his losing 4 out of last 7 fights

i suppose the detroit lions are the face of the NFL too huh?

 

This is spot on, too.

The entire reason Mayweather only fights once a year, is because it's a common law of business. The more you see something, the less value it had. Mayweather compared his own fights to the Superbowl and if there were 3 Superbowl's a year, they wouldn't all bring in the same money they currently do. If Mayweather could fight three times a year and bring in $20m in each of those fights, he would do, but he couldn't maintain it.

 

lets do this. how much PPV does each generated in the last 3 years? how much PPV a year are they making? and please drop the Hoya figure cause its obviously Hoya who is the A side of the show.

 

PAC vs Hatton did 825K in PPVs domestically.

Floyd vs JMM sold right around 1.1 million in PPVs

 

You're missing the point - We only see, what, 5% of all the numbers involved in a fight? We can talk about the numbers we see, but they aren't necessarily the whole truth. However, if Greenburg considers Mosley a bigger draw, are you seriously arguing against that? The guy isn't just saying it for the sake of it, he's saying it because he has proof, and the proof I'm talking about isn't just one line of a gossip column by someone like Dan Rafael. His proof is based of the pages and pages of Nielsen ratings, breaking down every fighter, in every performance on HBO.

I can't give you those numbers that Greenburg sees, but if he says it, because he has no agenda, I believe it to be true.

He said he hoped for 4m buys. Maybe they spent so much on promoting the bout that they actually thought that was realistic?

There is no reason for him to lie about how much they spent on promoting the bout. If anything, they would say they spent less than they actually did.

Ross Greenburg is the only proof needed.

Schaefer would know and has no reason to lie.

Slightly true? How is it slightly true? Mosley was P4P and people were really hyped about the fight. Margarito had been destroyed, every win in his career was in question and the two fights without wraps, he looked poor. Mosley was 10x the challenger Margarito was.

I'm not disputing that. Honestly, I don't care who is the bigger draw overall, I'm just talking about Pacquiao's latest fight and disproving your argument.

 

No....Tito and Miguel are NOT far above Shane in PPVs. They are level with one anther. Tito, shane and Cotto are big draws in their own right but they are LEVELS beneath that of DLH, TYSON, Floyd and PAC.

Boy....you don't know **** about marketing and the buying public. Most PPV's that exceed the million mark are NOT bought by HARDCORE boxing fans who are latinos or black cupcake.

When there is a big event that is on PPV the marketing for the event and the backing it has generates MASS APPEAL where the buzz alone brings in OUTSIDE buyers that help make the even successful at the highest levels.

You need to educate yourself boy.....not a good look at all.:verysad
