    I don't know if that is true or not but from my understanding a lot of the sales have been from his DLH and Hatton fights, two proven popular fighter's.

    I thought that Mayweather's pre DLH/Hatton fights didn't do to well for someone who was considered P4P number1.

    Mayweather only became really known outside of boxing after the two aformentioned fights.

    no the only reason the DLH/Hatton fights did so well is that people wanted to be part of the Mayweather Experience.. and if they couldn't go to Vegas, the next best thing was to buy the PPV

    I'm from the UK but the sport would not be dead without Hatton, Haye and Calzaghe.

    Would you be so kind as to remove your mouth from off of Mr Mayweather's ****.

    You're not just embarrassing yourself, but you're also embarrassing this forum; and most of all you're embarrasing Floyd himself.

    Good point! Any fighter who's been knocked out, can't be any good.

    Most fighters have been KO'd, like it or not those three have dominated divisions at one point. There good for the sport, I wish people wouldn't care so much about the '0'. Cotto has one but I think he's an amazing fighter, Pac, Hopkins,etc.

    British boxing might have more stars than american boxing right now, but Calzaghe and Hatton aren't going to be around forever, and whilst I like Haye I don't think he is as big as either of those 2.

    Does anyone else understand why Pavlik is in the top 10 p4p?

    Pavlik is white and American, so he deserves to be in the P4P top ten.

    Dude FM is a great fighter, one of the best of this gneration.

    But when it comes to pulling power Hatton would outsell any arena over FM, end of!

    i never stated calzaghe as "a bum". I said he's been beating up bums all his life. He is a good slapper that has incredible work rate (hence why beat roy and got the "decision" over hopkins). Skill-wise, he's on a domestic level. Im british but hate the way british media hype up calzaghe and call him a legend. I even heard on radio5live (british sport radio channel) where one of the hosts said he truly believes joe calzaghe would of beat roy jones in his prime lollll. needless for me to comment on that.
