    Lmfao. This fight does over 300k no problem. People talk **** but come the night of the fight end up ordering cause they trick themselves into thinking he's gonna lose then get mad when he doesn't. You k ow how he's gonna fight. Thats your fault dummy.

    Boxing has been a huge part of my life for most of my life, but if this ppv does well, the reality will be that most boxing fans are complaint people who dont mind being taken advantage of. I hope that is not the case.

    Floyd has a guaranteed contract. Mayweather will get his money regardless. He could sell 0 PPV's and he would still get his guaranteed money from CBS/Showtime. And given how much money he's made them over the previous 5 fights, they can take a loss in fight 6 and still be in the black. They got their Pac fight and a windfall of cash. CBS is happy.

    Not buying the fight really isn't going to do a thing in regard to the larger issue you're speaking about. Just saying. His money is guaranteed.

    That being said: I'm not buying it.

    From the UK so assume it will be cheaper, if PPV at all, but yes i will pay for it, even though i am not happy with his choice of opponent.

    As Floyd said if you don't want to watch it, don't pay. No its not the best fight out there for him, but i still like watching him fight.

    But DO NOT, for one second think this will be his last fight.

    The people who know this is a horrible fight and still pay are the ones who are enabling fighters to continue to put these horrible mismatches on PPV.
