    Could he still generate a Million PPV per fight? I know a large number of fans order his fight to watch him lose but does a loss itslef diminish his appeal as a PPV fighter? Pac won narrowly against Marquez in their 3rd fight (I had JMM winning by a point) and lost to Bradley the next but still manage to sell more than a million in his 4th fight against Marquez. I wonder if Floyd lose a fight wouldn't matter and can still generate huge PPV sale the next?

    IF Alvarez KHTFO Mayweather can still generate over 1 Mili buys w/either Alvarez in a rematch or the sideshow which would be A Pacquiao fight in 2014.

    Maybe Martinez @15-160 (Catch)

    At least 30% of the fans who watched Floyd order his fight to see him lose. If he loses this fight tomorrow his 1M PPV sales I think is over.

    A re-match would certainly do in excess of 1 million. I think he could also do it against selected fighters but not just anyone; a match-up with Devon Alexander for example wouldn't get it done.

    Doesn't need the $? He shouldn't need more $ but you seen the way he gambles (they just show you the gambles he actually wins..), he went from buying thousands of dollars for clothes for Mrs. Jackson to buying tens of thousands for 4-5 different women, I'm sure he probably still makes it rain at the local night club, along with whatever the leechers get off him (free booze, drugs, food, etc).
    I don't wish bad luck of anybody... Even as egotistical as Floyd, but realisticly theres no way anybody lives like that without being old and broke.

    True that. Floyd is another Tyson, Holyfield in the making. History always repeats itself. When you go from rags to riches, the odds are highly against you to stay well off. Most lotto winners end up broke. They don't know how to manage money. I believe Manny is in the same boat.
