    I've always been satisified from Mayweather's fights. Only boring fight he's had is the Baldomir.

    If you're a casual fan rooting against Floyd, then his fights must be really boring

    Well, here are some "REASONS"

    1. Mayweather is American
    2. Pac fights for legacy, not money
    3. Mayweather gets marketable opponents, Pac fights tough guys
    4. Even though Floyd has outsold Pac with every common opponent, it is because Pac fought them during an economic downturn.
    :patsch

    Pac fights for legacy, LMFAO. Is that why he's fighting Rios?

    It seems like a significant portion of the public watches his fights hoping to see him lose. They are drawn in by over the top claims about his greatness, from the industry and himself, and genuinely watch hoping he gets decapitated.

    It was the same with Ali for most of his career, who adopted it from pro wrestling, and seems to have worked pretty well for Floyd.

    The biggest difference I can see is that Floyd has combined it with clever and careful matchmaking: fighting mexicans on mexican holidays, fighting great white hopes, etc. Whereas Ali fought all comers.

    Ali and Floyd don't belong in the same post.

    This.

    Funny how the same folk who claim they don't want to see Mayweather fight have no problem logging on here and talking about him, his boxing style, his previous fights, his PPV figures, his family, his relationships, his kids, his entourage, how he spends his money, etc. for 2 hours a day.

    Hilarious.

    why the **** would this matter if he doesn't outsell Mayweather against the same opponents? And you're telling me Pacquiao fought Mosley instead of Marquez and Berto(undefeated) because it was better for his legacy

    Did you notice the word reasons in quotes? In other words, all you dim bulbs, they aren't reasons, they are actually excuses.
