    what the hell are you talkin about...nobody is saying it was just his "0" calm the fukk down before you start tossig aroud dumb shyt...but if you think that him being undefeated didnt have a role in it your kidding yourself.

    and of course all the things you went on babbling about played apart i just merely stated on thing geesh.

    you say one thing about Floyd and if it aint negative your automaticly a *****?

    Your avi is Cotto not even boxing but just in casual clothes if i didnt know who Cotto was i would 1- think thats you in the photo or 2- your a female and you like how he looks and your a groupie.....i doubt your really Cotto so im guessing your a groupie?

    Firstly Delahoya was a massive name, Mayweather maybe the second biggest at that time. So the 2 biggest names in the sport fighting.

    Secondly it was seen as a genuinely 50-50 fight, yes Delahoya was older, but he was also far bigger and the fight was on his terms at 154 and coming off a destructive win over Mayorga

    Lastly it was incredibly well promoted with 24/7

    he means the seats in the other casions that charge to watch it, they charge the same as PPV price per seat anyway so its mute point I think

    No he doesn't, and besides that isn't counted as PPV revenue its counted as closed circuit revenue. Sherp is just being a ******, like usual.

    That **** was better than pac oscar

    anyway

    this fight is evidence of why boxing needs more events/year. the sport's biggest problem is inactivity.

    Because Void was smart enough to fight a draw instead of Joshua "The Clam Master" Clottey.

    it was during the high point of your economy at the time, people had money and were willing to spend we are in such a recession/economic downturn now that we will be lucky if Pac/Mayweather does 2.0mil ppv buys
