    That's highly debatable. People watch boxing for all sorts of reasons. For the most part fans want to see a Mike Tyson type of fighter. Floyd brings a different boxing style to the ring - one that's generally not favorable. Perhaps the largest value is his undefeated record. Everyone wants to be part of history if or when he loses for the very first time. Who's to say that isn't worth $35+ million? Generally technical boxers don't get as much credit as they deserve. When someone like Floyd finds a way to be successful, he gets ripped for it. Are we supposed to ignore the sweet science and give all our attention and money to the brawlers? Is that what you want?

    Considering the average income for an employed person, paying 50-70 bucks per year for a Floyd fight is NOT a big waste especially when you consider the fact that most boxing fans love to throw bbq events/fight night parties during the weekend. Mayweather benefits from accumulation of PPV purchases.

    LOL, its all marketing . . . whether it is in or out of the ring. The guy know more about the game of boxing that anyone else, that is why he is number 1 at the box office. As a slick defensive boxer it is truly amazing that he can draw what he can but hey don't hate. . . appreciate.

    I think if you take a closer look he has fought more top fighters in and around his weight class than most people think and that could also be said for P4P fighters as well

    Castillo: close first fight, wide UD 2nd
    Baldomir: Comfortable Floyd win.
    DLH: Comfortable Floyd win.
    JMM: 12-0
    Mosley: the closest even a Floyd hater can make the fight is 10-2
    Cotto: Comfortable yet again.

    I really don't understand your hatred, it doesn't make sense.
