    PBF is the smartest self promoter that ever existed in the game. He has turned his heel persona into his greatest asset. He has learned from wrasslin that everyone loves to hate a bad boy and has ran with it. He has created as many haters as fans who pay more to see someone Shut PBF up and get KTFO. love or hate him the guy is brilliant

    I have to tell the casuals on my job when manny is fighting( some of them are fans of his:lol:) but I never have to tell them when Floyd is fighting, and to me that's priceless.

    That actually speaks volumes by itself:rofl
     
  9. Biggest drop off in Ppv history = Floyd
    2.4 vs Oscar 900k less every fight since.

    Manny a foreigner doing insane #s
    Clearly the one that stands ALONE.

    Because PBF knows his audience as good as any promoter or match up expert. PBF can announce a fight versus a bag full of dog sh!t tomorrow and he will get PPV buys out of it (and hot dog, shirts, gloves, etc).


    Did Pac **** one of your family members or something?

    Wow dude. Don't let a person you do not know personally affect you in such deep and profound way. Well, I understand religion and maybe art, but this is sports entertainment.

    floyd's a polarizing figure with a big time personality and an undefeated record.

    Didn't have to read too far down to get the answer. This, and he can sell a damn fight. Popularity (or the hope for a defeat) aren't the only factors in selling PPVs, yet a lot of people thinks that's what counts.

    Because of this kind of haters. Ironic, isn't it? They sustain the one thing that makes them choke on their own enraged bile everytime he fights for quite a few years now.

    Not at all. Whittaker had same style. His fights were boring.
