Ellerbe kept saying GOD is good, GOD is good. Start of PPV success and besides floyd wasnt put too many pants in the seats. by beating Gatti he got gatti fans, then hatton and the ultimate success was Oscars fans. Oscar was the PPV attraction and even in the rematch only wanted to give Floyd some low ball amount when 50/50 wouldve been a good deal for both with 2.5 mil buys or more waiting on the table.
Because this was his first hbo ppv main event fight and the way he beat a popular warrior in gatti, floyd knew theres going to be big money fights and more fights on hbo ppv.
He got himself extremely motivated for this fight. In his mind this was the fight of his life, a kind of motivation that shows how seriously he takes every fight, and it showed with his performance.
Some of these responses let me know that most of you have never put everything you had into a sport. The responses making fun, whether joking or not... Lames.
Because he realised he can predict the future :deal [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzivHDP6m5w[/ame]
because he knew that fight changed his whole life/career along with the emoitions of winning/giving a beatdown. THis is boxing : Blood, Sweat, and Tears.
