Oscar vs Mayweather did about as much as Oscar did against Mosley and Tito combined. The majority were Oscar fans but no way were Mayweather fans outnumbered 10-1 on the night.
Why do you say such things to which you already know the answer why? Oscar is Mexican and handsome. Which has everything to do with his popularity. As to why better fighters like Roy Jones Jr and Sweet Pea Whitaker didnt get the same accolades. Hatton is only popular in Britain, because he's a white guy brawler who drinks beer and watchings footie matches. In the USA he'd be fighting on HBO and Versus for the rest of his career. Fighters deserve what they can get. Froch has fought guys like Pascal and Taylor and deserves a pay day just like anyone else. Boxing is not in the state it is because boxers want a little more cash for their effort. Mayweather proved this when Arum said that he couldnt get a fight with Oscar and no way could he get 20 mil. Mayweather proved him wrong. Its the promoters not the boxers who are hurting the sport.
Ruiz - and deservedly so. Not only did he cheat his opponents of their opportunity to win WITHIN the rules, and of their rightfully rankings due to King's shenanigans - he cheated the fans of seeing the legitimate boxing matches they paid to see.
I wasn't asking a question. Floyd is black and handsome, nothing to stop him from building a fan base without acting like a *****. Do you not think the methodology behind boxing needs an overhaul?
If you just think clearly you may see the same pattern in the big PPV events: DLH-Tinidad, DLH-Mosley, DLH-Mayweather ... tha nemae DLH is the one who brings money to the table ... from the other side Hatton's name was filling the whole 60.000 stadium before Floyd was fought him. Whatever I think about Floyd he is great business man who knows how to put incidentally his name in a big events to milk the biggest cows.
YEs, and Floyd did more with Oscar then both Tito and Mosley combined. Tito was P4P undefeated just like Floyd was. Yet Floyd did twice what he did with Oscar. What does that tell you? As for Hatton. He could sell gate, but he couldnt sell **** on PPV. As to why his fights in America were shown on HBO and versus.
I personally dislike boxers who lack class and have big mouths (i.e. Jones, Toney, Haye, Mayweather). I can also care less for frauds like Ruiz and bigheads like Peter.
Floyd will be broke or in jail within the next ten years.The Mayweathers are too dumb to stay out of trouble. :good
