    His style is mind numbing most fans hate him and buy the PPV's to see him lose, they've given up any hope of seeing someone beat him so that's why his PPV numbers have been dwindling.....that and he needs a very big B-Side draw to bring in huge numbers because he and yes Pacquiao as well aren't necessarily big enough to draw big numbers on their own.



    And the Mecicans they came back with faith that Canelo would finish what they thought Oscar started it was obviously a misguided hope but they wanted revenge. Because they are casuals they had a ton of hope in Canelo....I tried to tell my Mexican friends that I was rooting for Canelo but in reality Canelo had no chance but they wouldn't listen.:conf

    Floyd and Pac are the two most popular fighters on earth with Wlad in 3rd place.

    And if Floyd's ppvs have dwindled, then Pac's numbers have been buried with the dead lol...

    They guy has a twisted logic. He once told me Al Haymon was bad for boxers because he was able get them bigger purse than the previously got.

    He claims Mayweather is bad for boxing but the numbers say otherwise. Lets assume Canelo and Oscar were the reason why the two biggest ppv numbers was broken, then how come none of them ever duplicated those numbers with other opponents.

    He says the public wants to see exciting fighters that score knockouts, yet none of the so called "exciting" fighters ever comes close to doing Mayweather like numbers on regular TV, let alone on PPV. If excitement is all the fans want, then common sense says that these "exciting" fighters should be breaking ppv and ticket sells numbers.

    In fact lets me go a little bit further with this man's stupid logic. Lets assume that Mayweather is unexciting as he claims and people only watch to see him get knocked out. So long as it brings attention and interest to the sports, which it does, then what's wrong with that.

    I mean really, this whole debate is just stupid if you ask me.

    Yes good for one fighter does not mean good for the sport. I know you are a Floyd fan so logic is beyond you.

    When you are already a ***** it's best not to advance racial stereotypes further.

    Lord forbid people start to think that *****s are entirely about race and not boxing.

    I didn't play the race card you did jackass. I'm advising you not to. We don't want to create the impress that Floyd's fans are racists.

    Your stereotype was offensive amd racists *****s already have a bad enough reputation with Sr. calling for brothers like Tyson and Jones to fall in line.
