    Holy is only stating the absolute obvious. This is the same reason why DLH vs Floyd was so huge. Good guy vs Bad guy. The best boxer vs the most popular boxer.

    This time around its a fight between the TWO BEST boxers in the world one is considered the "Good Guy" the other...yet again is considered the "Bad Guy". Makes for a very compelling fight.

    They are counted as one PPV buy, each ticket weather its five or ten dollars now if anything that doesnt suggest FLoyd is the bigger draw, that simply means he doesnt have enough fans willing to pay the 50 dollars to watch the fight at home.
    Manny doesnt have this problem he doesnt need movie theaters.... I just asked him two weeks ago what the deal was with the fight, he said plain and simple Floyd Mayweather Jr does not want to fight me.....

    No they are not.

    PPV and Theater sales are counted as two different things.

    That may be true but at the end of the day you need two variables to come up with the "sum" which in this situation is a MEGA fight. Floyd is just as necessary as Manny and vice versa. Floyd's style may not be the most fan freindly but his ability to market himself in a way that draws people to want to see him...Win or Lose is impressive and can't be denied.

    Holy isn't any more of a cheat than MOST HW fighters who if any one division would be doping it would be the HW divsion. Holy included. Regardless, holy is a legend and for good reason. He wasn't a natural HW yet he beat BIG ELITE level HW's in a very strong era.

    He's not the only one....that's all I'm saying. In his prime his skills were undeniable which is the MAJOR factor behind his success as a HW. Sure roids played a part I'm sure but Roids don't make you a great fighter.

    lmao, you're a maniac!

    Well, Holyfield really likes to tell it as it is in his heart.... i dont see Mayweather evil at all. *******s do though im sure. I do see Mayweather as the Financial ***** of Boxing (right next to Don King) and as a classless ass, including his father. Other than that, let it be known that Mayweather is an A++ boxer, and that is why i like him alot.

    I think Arum may try use a Good & Evil selling point, hopefully not. Mayweather is plenty notorious with the crowd. I think he has been the only champion ive ever seen boo'd by the crowd lol. And thats not good. So yes, Evander is right in Pacquio bringing in the "crowd". I dont think people buy tickets to PBF's fights to specifically boo Mayweather.... then again, i may be wrong

    Roids help you quite a bit.

    Specially when you are already a good fighter. They don't make someone like Charlie Z a champion over night though.

    Im sure roids helped other fighters but he's been caught, if more are caught / confess they will get the same treatment from me.

    Im not like freddy, Im not going to look the other way because it just happens.

    Cheating with steroids shouldn't be allowed. Simple, even if others were using.

    If we use that as a measuring stick than emmanuel won't even deserve 20%.

    Who cares. What he does with his life is up to him. I only care that he can whip Pac's sorry a$$.

    Trust me, Pac isn't too bright. Now that he is in politics? He will be quickly relieved of his wealth.

    Dude anyone with half a brain that goes past sparring with the other weekend warriors is a "financial *****". They don't call that crap "prize fighting" for nothing. Show me a man who fights on that level for fun and you will show me a BUM!

    No matter if you make the people buy tickets out of love for you, hate for you, or if you consolidate support behind their guy to beat you... at the end of the day YOU are the one selling tickets. FMJ is selling those tickets!

    You know, I respect your perspective and breakdown. Logical points all around.

    Has there been any proof of steroid use? Has Evander admitted to using steroids?
    I didnt think so, if your basing this entire premise off the Evans Fields ****, well lets just say this, your a ****ing moron.... Nobody can prove that was even Holyfield so how all the sudden can you?

    No but when Evander was called out he took the test and proceeded to the fight. What id d Pac do?

    Man that Evan's Fields ish was real law enforcement. He was busted using HGH.
