    We all know he is the biggest draw in boxing at the moment but why do you pay to see him fight(assuming you do pay)?

    To see him get knocked out.

    That's why I only order fights in which he stands a chance of losing.

    I actually admire his skill, but I hate the way he carries himself and handles his career

    The last Mayweather fight I paied for was against Mosley and I was hoping to watch him lose.

    Otherwise I have no interest in watching him vs clearly outmatch opponent #1 anymore.

    Mosley and marquez, admittedly I thought he was going to make the weight and marquez would be able to do better than he did.

    Not really a great selection. I don't want to see Floyd get KO'd b/c I don't like him. I actually pay to watch glimpses of greatness. In some moments when he fights he just shows incredible ablility, skill and talent. It's not often b/c most of the time he's playing it safe and looking to win on points. Floyd isn't much of a risk taker as his resume indicates but with those who he does fight he dominates....most of the time. Floyd embodies the sweet science from a very fundemental foundation. Hit and don't get hit. That's the name of the game....but there are elements that he lacks that Boxing thrives on....which on a more primitive foundation where blood, guts, and taking risks while using your attributes to get a win. Floyd much rather ensure a victory than to take risks to give fight fans what they want in terms of excitment.
