Floyd has never been one to draw large crowds himself. To get the crowds you have to have lots of fans, Floyd doesnt have that. People watch him on PPV because their intrigued or they want to see him loose, worth $50 to sit at home and do that but not go all the way to see it live.

 

Why is it that PAc's fans always have something to say about Floyd lol... You'll say anything just to say something lol... Tickets, beating chicks up, IRS...you'll phonily dis Floyd for every little thing you can just to prop up your big waffle iron headed hero lol...

 

well it is Playoffs too so some big money people have already spent loads for playoff tickets.

plus a lot of what others were saying....who knows....i still think it sells out.

 

BHop v Jones did less than 5,000 paid at the "live gate" and did 90,000 PPV buys.A total disaster.
GBP is losing it's grip on reality.:nut

 

neither has any fan base to be honest.

 

No knowledgable boxing fan believes PAc was fighter of the decade lol... Do the math. PAc never surpassed Floyd before Floyd retired. PAc beats Cotto at 145 and Clottey who didn't even fight back, and Floyd..who never lost, beats the guy who gave PAc hell easily and PAc wins fotd lol...please!

This will be eerily reminiscent of Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr.
Antonio Tarver figured out that Roy Jones cannot fight in tight quarters, and when you rough him up, he gets rattled. After Tarver exposed Jones, his loss percentage spiked because every fighter who fought Jones after Tarver knew exactly what to do. Yes, age caught up to Roy, but Tarver had proven that Jones was never really that good to start with.Floyd Mayweather will suffer the same fate.When Mosley presses him and starts to hurt him, Mayweather will begin to unravel, and when that happens, Mosley will crank up the pressure, and Mayweather will suffer his first defeat, probably by knockout.

 

point is?:huh

 

Spin, spin, spin.

Live gate for Mayweather-Mosley has already surpassed Pac/Cotto and even the 50,000 people for Pac/Clottey despite only being around 80% sold. If Mayweather-Mosley ringside seats were for sale for $700 and great seats for $250, this fight would have sold out in seconds.

 

The only problem is that Mayweather is actually really good at fighting in tight quarters.

 

Nice story. Would probably be great to watch if it happens, but I think, not very likely.

Mosley's hittable, getting older, and we don't know how well he'll hold up after the mid point of the fight.

And Floyd has great movement and footwork, coupled with great upper body movement and defense.

KO win by Mosley is a long shot.

 

The average 'fight fan' expects a couple of windmill's FFS. The broadcast crews always seem to play up the punch volume as an indicator of 'skill'.

 

Casual fans don't mind clean, textbook punching. They don't think it's boring as long as the fighters exchange punches like they mean it.

That's what all it takes to impress a non serious/newbie boxing fan.

Passion and fire in a fight. No matter the skill level.

 

someones anus is aching.
