    Because he's the best boxing today. Also see who can give him a challenge.

    these days the only time I'll be watching Mayweather to watch the best boxer in the world will be when I'm watching Pacquiao vs Mayweather

    I love watching him box, but even if I didn't, I'd still watch him. I watch all the big fights involving the top fighters.

    I watch him for the same reason most people watch him: to see him lose.

    No, honestly, I'd just like to see him in an actual fight. I'm not paying 60 bucks for a sparring match.

    The Mosley fight could have been something special had it happened way earlier. Same for the ODLH fight. Too bad.

    Both. I appreciate his skills, but I don't appreciate his mouth. Leonard would of ***** slapped that boy. If it was Sugar "Ray" and not Sugar "Shane" tagging Floyd in round 2, I 100% sure Leonard would of stopped Floyd for sure.

    Because I love boxing, and Respect all the boxers who put their life on the line to entertain people..

    Floyd just happens to be one of thousands of boxers out there. And when it's his turn to fight, I tune in and appreciate it.. But I do the same for every figt that I can.

    I watch him cos i like boxing, and he's a superb boxer. He isn't the biggest draw in boxing though.

    I didn't vote because I watch him for both reasons. I believe Manny is the best p4p, but Floyd would beat him, in my opinion. Manny is the naturally smaller man, so p4p he is still better in my view.

    Because he has a style that's fun to watch. Which wasn't one of the choices, incidentally.

    The last fight i saw of his was vs Shane Mosley. I SWORE that Mosley wouldnt fall in his chess game and maintain pressure and his punching output, but i was wrong. This fight just plained sucked altogether to watch, even to a boxing purist. The punch output was god awful low for both sides, and for welterweights. Seems like all Mayweather's plan was to do what he does best.... Jab/Lead Right & clinch. Reset and do over again and again and again. At least Andre Ward tears the hell out of you when you do get into a "conventional clinching position".... All Mayweather does is make it into a competition on who can land the first punch and then stall to reset this again. And yeah, it was to get away from Sugar's blinding flurries. But he doesnt have to use a ***** tactic over and over again.

    No, i vowed to never watch Floyd Mayweather fight TILL he fights Manny Pacquiao. The irony is, Money was my favorite boxer to watch TILL Pacquiao blew up the scene...
