    *******s claim PPV'S/Earnings aren't important and how we should not talk about them but when we talk about Pac's rejection of Floyd's 40 million dollar offer (Highest Pac has ever earned, by far), they go straight back to Pac's PPV'S/Earnings

    The hypocrisy is insane for these idiotic *******s.

    Only Mayweather fanboys are obsessed with it. They act like they are part of Floyd's groupie and payroll.

    What PPV proves is how many people are willing to pay to watch you. It just emphasizes ur status and popularity...

    Doesn't have anything to do with greatness, but let's not pretend popularity status means nothing... That's what the unpopular kids like to pretend in school.

    And just like in school, once he retires (graduates), his popularity will mean nothing (see Mike Tyson as reference)... But right now, it says a lot... Especially since he is the #1 p4p fighter

    I'm an accounting major, so numbers like that interest me. Plus it's good to compare them to each other

    people arent fixated.. it just is a great way to see who is the more popular athelete and it especially became a huge talking point when a mega fight had the B-side demanding 50 percent

    when numbers dont lie and showed he was clearly not worth 50 percent, said fighters supporters have since covered up PPV's saying they dont mean ****

    Fans who constantly talk about money and ppv are the same kind of girlymen who like to sit and watch soap operas with their partners.

    Because viewing these numbers usually tells you how certain fights can happen or can't.

    **** the money fighters earn and **** PPV, we should be talking less about that and more about the boxing itself.

    because boxing is busness, and if one fighter is stupid and believes they are entitled to more than they are worth, then that prevents the fights the fans want to see from happening.
