    Even at 25-30 million, they're still overpaying Floyd IMO. What does Floyd shows you inside the ring for being paid that high? :D

    No doubt people were hesitant to buy those over-priced tickets to pay the most overpaid, under-performing boxer today.

    IMO, What does is the ring is a thing of beauty. He's a beautiful boxer ( no homo). His counter punching, defense, solid shots, and fast hands are amazing to watch. Unfortunantly the causal fans aren't really into that, and that is where you'll get the majority of the PPV money. Maybe this is why he created this Money character, to draw them in.

    That's a very expensive sleeping pill for the casual viewers. :D Maybe the purist will be satisfied for what they paid for.

    Your math is majorly flawed.

    The reason is not everybody wants to spend $800 to sit in the nose bleed... Why not stay at home and watch the fight?

    The live gate for this fight is already at 8 figures and they've sold like 15,000 tickets. Any promoter in the sport would gladly take those figures.

    I wouldnt pay good money to see this fight live!! Id rather watch an all action fight, like pac-mosley or margarito-pac etc.... I'll pay 10 bucks and watch it with my buddies!! After all may will just duck, dodge,dip, dance and duck his way to a points victory!! Its academic!!!

    Na, win or lose Mosley will make it a fight worth watching. Even tho Floyd is full of ****, he's an excellent fighter to watch for the purists. Kinda like watching Nascar. Mosley and Pacman are more like watching dragsters. Mosley will make it interesting for the non-casual fans.

    Sure these numbers are very good already... if you don't have an overpaid boxer who gets a $40 million purse in your fight card.

    Where's the flaw? It's not math.

    Are you being a sarcastic here, or are you just stupid?
