What fans are asking from Floyd is one fight with Pacquiao. Fans, boxing people, promoters wants Floyd's commitment now to fight Pacquiao. It not a very difficult demand for Floyd considering he will be the favorite in this fight. What we got so far is a cold treatment from Floyd. Does he really care about the fans, about the sport of boxing where he earns his millions? :dead
If the 2.4 mil was due to Oscar, where did those fans go when there were only 1.2 mil with Oscar vs. Pacquiao? There's no answer to this except the one you don't like. Floyd is the cash cow of boxing and he sells.
I've never bought a Floyd PPV anyway. Or paid for a PPV in this decade. So, yes, I'm done with buying Floyd PPVs. Excuse me, I'm going to go be smug about my righteous crusade against PPVs that I have had going for years now. Gatdamn, I'm awesome.
Never have purchased a Floyd fight and never will. I will buy his carrer set instead, That ****er will not get a dime from me. I will buy Pacman's fights though or any of the other big fights or ones with a good undercard.
I don't think I was leaning toward anything except the truth. Yes, this stuff is pretty unjustifiable, and only huge fanatics have stuck with him.
I don't buy PPV's either. **** that. Just pay the fighters less and put it on free to air, or a $10 PPV. $50 bucks (that's what it is over here) for most fights that you know the result of going in. The PPV shits me to death. I already pay a monthly fee to my Pay TV provider, why the **** should I pay MORE for something else???? PPV's will kill boxing in the end. Prices are too high, casual fans never get to see the good fights, and as has been hinted here several times, more and more peole will stop paying, and watch illegal streams. Then......promoters will come out saying "why are the PPV numbers dropping?? Why does nobody watch boxing any more? Why aren't we creaming money from people any more?" Some PPV fights are disgraceful. If I really, really want to watch a fight, I'll go to a nearby pub. Yes, I know they have to pay for it, but that's their choice, and I'll have a few beers so that they get some money back. Fans should boycott PPV's altogether. But when you've got fights like ODLH v Yori Boy Campas on PPV, and PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUY IT you know it will never stop.
I will be purchasing floyd's future ppv bouts as well as pac's ppv bouts. I love the sport of boxing and these two guys have done so much to revive it. Without pac or floyd boxing would be dead to the casual fan and my fear is MMA will soon take over.
i would still watch him, but if he fights anyone but pac he will not get any respect. he might as well retire cuz fighting lesser opponants wouldn't be right....
