    Floyd use Mexicans on Cinco de Mayo. He offer free buffets, free rooms, and free limo rides from the airport. He's an American citizen...which I don't understand why he's not fighting on July 4th :lol:.

    Because Floyd actually sells. emmanuel is simple and thinks let my prior performances and reputation as a high action fighter sell itself.

    It doesn't work like that. All the biggest names in boxing except for Mike Tyson did not have the most fireworks styles available during their era. What they all had in common were massive personalities.

    Floyd has become a really good promoter himself recently. He knows how to promote himself. The way he promoted the Cotto fight was genius. He is also smart enough to surround himself with with partners who will help him.

    Manny on the other hand is either to ignorant, or to irresponsible to do anything but train to throw a bunch of punches like a caveman. You have to understand Pac only went to school until the age of 6, and he's pretty much a dumb guy. He lets Top Rank rip him off.

    What countries do and don't have Pay Per View when it comes to boxing? Figure that out and you have your answer.

    It must be because he is a slick defensive fighter who pot shots . . . this style of fighting always sells great at the box office

    Its all about playing the game... Floyed has found how to sell his fights better.... Yo can only sell so many PPV based on performance alone, like it was stated earlier you have to know how to sell an image to the public and floyed does this to perfection! this coming from a guy that honestly doesnt think too highly of floyed

    :deal When Floyd fights I get several calls from friends, many of whom want to see him get KTFO. I don't get those same calls when Manny fights.
