    Really, a 32 million purse is a bust? I mean, Im sure any other fighter in the world would run over their mother to be involved in a bust that pays them 32million. Its sad the media is so desperate to bash Floyd, that they have to resort to misleading headlines and facts, making it seem like Floyd has miserable night, when he still easily made more than any other athlete.

    it is sad....

    people want to try to compare this to some of his other megafights....he was coming off a snoozer against pac....which disappointed many casuals...and then the media was telling everyone how terrible of a matchup this was(and it wasnt a good one for sure)....so what did people expect? did they expect floyd/canelo numbers? i mean just be real...its a bust compared to his usual ....but given the circumstances it was pretty obvious this wasnt going to be big......

    but now everyones darling ronda rousey is bashing floyd so why not just pile on instead of defending him?

    and people wonder why floyd doesnt seem to care about the fans...because not many of them have ever had a nice thing to say about him

    Bust in terms of PPV numbers.

    Floyd only gets that much money because HE is THE PROMOTER.

    If he wasn't he'd get NOWHERE NEAR that amount.

    ...see also Dempsey Vs Tommy Gibbons, the promoter made their money but Shelby went bankrupt and Gibbons apparently had to fight Dempsey for free

    no one cares bro. GGG is the new king of boxing with multiple page threads. Floyd is an old has been no one wants to remember. Ronda Rousey beat his PPV numbers.

    it would take rousey 50 lifetimes to make floyds money....yeah im sure hes real concerned about rousey...who keeps using his name to sell herself when she doesnt really have to...youve never seen floyd use anothers name, let alone a womans, to sell his fights....

    youve got bumhurt jerkoffs like dodong still speaking on floyd and his ppv numbers and money....when his hero, pac, has been dwarfed by floyd star.....you need to let it go man....pac will never be floyd ...im sorry that pac wasnt what you thought he was

    It sold around 400K which means it was a big money loser

    It might have something to do with it being a huge bomb of a PPV.

    Bust because he fought a garbage man, he likes feeding off s****s. Bust because the so called ppv king became a queen overnight.
