    Is Floyd supposed to fight himself?

    Ah well he claims himself as the TBE and PPV KING :deal

    - STACKED UNDERCARDS.
    - FIGHTS ON CINCO DE MAYO.

    This fight against Maidana will do around 800 k ppvs.

    Dumb ***** ****s

    When there was a heavyweight division NO ONE cared about any other weight class

    Roy jones wa lucky to break 400k PPVs in his prime

    James toney vs Roy jones did 300k

    The only non heavy weight guy to hit 1 million in the 1990s

    Oscar

    The biggest non heavy weight draw for 2 decades?

    Oscar

    Biggest PPV of all time? Who was the A side, who made 50 million?

    Oscar

    When the heavy weight division was in great shape no one cared about any other weight class

    Floyd mayweather fought on the 90s
    Floyd mayweather fought in the 2000s

    Floyd did 300k vs gatti
    Floyd did 300k vs Judah
    300k vs baldomir

    Oscar made Floyd

    Oscar gave him serious credibility and a fan base.

    From 2008 to 2012 manny pacquiaos PPV numbers were just as good as Floyd's


    Here's the irony manny was a PPV star before Floyd
    He and morales did 350k in2005
    Manny has always been on the A side for almost a decade

    Floyd asks where was manny in the 90s, better question is where was Floyd before the oscar fight? Making 350k Ppv if he was lucky

    Make no mistake, the biggest bankable star in boxing history is either Tyson or oscar

    Floyd could have been on their level if he faced manny, but he's a coward

    To have Amir khan- the most exciting guy right now
    And broner- the biggest Down syndrome guy in boxing
    Both on the under card and still not break 1 million?

    No doubt Floyd isn't as big as manny

    Manny alone with a crap undercard did awesome numbers in Bradley 2

    It doesn't bother me if you say Floyd is or isn't PPV king. I have no dog in this fight. but as a boxing fan for many years, I know that the heavy weight division was a big deal then. Even a lot of below average boxing fans tuned in and watched the heavyweights.

    How did the lower weight classes PPV compare back then. I'm curious to see but don't know where to find those PPV numbers. I remember not even having to pay to watch some of the great fights in the lower weights back then.

    Think about this, even if it flops Floyd will make more money in that one night than you will make in your entire life.

    demography is also to be considered in the present ppv. the hispanics became the major ppv buyers that started by odlh and followed by the mexican fab 4, et al. americans distanced from boxing when they have no more legit champion especially in the heavier weights. floyd is not supported by americans like the past champions as evidenced by his low ppv sales against non-latino opponents and of course with their overwhelming acceptance and support to people's champ,asian boxer in pac

    I am afraid not.
    His venues are the best.
    Bigger and better than any other boxing venue.
    You mad/jealous.

    floyd is not popular to americans. reason why is 24/7 and all access shows, tbe, and other marketing strategies that were made just to market his fights that still comes up short without the backing of latino fighters. unlike the times of ali, tyson, odlh, rjjr, and other american champions who became popular because of their fan appealing performance in the ring.

    dont take it too serious, not good for your health. Mayweather's money is not your money. Just enjoy these forums and chit chat.

    Just Relax.

    Why you identify with another man's money that you will never be a part of?
