    Why did his fans abandon him?

    He then went on to fight JMM and did better numbers then Bradley. It's not that his fans left him, its people just don't want to pay for fights like Rios and Algieri. People have gotten to the point where their not going to pay for non ppv caliber fights.

    In the same way album sales aren't dictated by the fans who buy the album, ppv buys aren't dictated by the fans. There are ulterior forces at play here.

    People pay to see elite fighters give elite performances - Same reason Mayweather's numbers have dropped off since he went to Showtime (w/ the obvious exception being Canelo.

    Hard to get the people (mainstream or hardcore) to pay $65-75 to watch "elite" boxersin their late 30's fight.

    Thats why this coming fight cannot match SRL v. Hearns, DLH v. Tito, Duran v. Leonard. Those were prime legends banging it out. A 36yr old vs a 38yr old? please.

    Mayweather is currently the best fighter in the world p4p and Manny is still in the top 5 truthfully. So..... it is an elite matchup amongst current champions.

    You are aware they are the top two fighters in their weight class? Regardless of age... shssss you're a little thick up stairs.

    No way bro?!?! really?! the two best...i was unaware:roll:

    It's the best fight in boxing today - but all time it's not even in the ****ing conversation. These dudes are closer to 40 than 30. And let's be honest - a man at 30 is nothing like he was at 26.

    Because nobody wants to watch Pac Vs Algieri or Rios

    has nothing to do with him losing.

    Yep, because you can be the best p4p fighter without even beating 1 current champion in your entire career

    Unlike Floyd, Pac fans are worldwide and not exclusively in the US.
