    Dude, who the **** cares how much they're making? The fights are what matter, the business side and the $$$ that's their business.

    and how many cable tv subscriber whe have back in 70's and early 90's.

    duran vs leonard was one of the first,and it sold 150000.Canelo vs Angulo sold double.

    in 97 Tyson did almost 2mil buys against Holyfield.and tyson had 6 over 1million PPV at that point.and 3 of those were record breaking numbers,in time when cable tv's were hot.not like now when everybody owns them.

    could be nice to know how many % of population now owns cable tv,comparing to % of 90's. :think

    Last time I checked boxing did just fine after Floyd "retired". Boxing has endured even after the REAL greats retired ( Sugar Ray Robinson, Ali, Duran, Joe Louis, Dempsey...). Floyd will just be added as one of the greats but will hardly be considered TBE (it's really funny that he thinks he is though lol).

    Back when Mayweather had a vacation for 2 years, We had great boxing match ups, once he retires for a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back and still fights even after 40 years old.

    The way he spends his money now, he may go broke after boxing.

    Why does this matter so much to you? Is he sending any $$$ your way?


    I couldn't give a rates ass what any boxer gets paid, all I want them to do is entertain me when they fight.

    I don't see why boxing shouldn't have stars just as big and profitable in the future. It's had them come and go in the past. Dempsey, Louis, Robinson, Ali, Leonard, Tyson, Holyfield, De La Hoya, etc.

    He's an embarrassment . I like the quiet soviet style. Like kovalev. That's a real hard ****. Floyd is as he calls himself a 'pretty boy'

    Going on about money and being rich constantly. He's ******ed. Like a child that won the lotto

    i agree with what u said, but it doesn't invalidate floyd being the greatest prize fighter of all time.

    but he broke tyson's record then he broke his own record and he'll do it a third time once he fights pacquiao. tyson's ppv numbers don't really invalidate my statement, neither does the amount of people who had cable...

    Yes hes made a **** ton of money. Who the **** cares. Are you his wife or something? Don't you realize that hes made all that money at the expense of boxing rather than for boxing.
