    Floyd was going to sell period ppv's period, and I believe that his ppv's would be the same even if he were considered humble.

    This is a one sided beat down if you are going to compare Floyds drawing power to Oscars

    I doubt it. Lol.

    Pac's not so good english and trying to talk **** would end up being a comedy.

    And I disagree that Floyd would have the same PPVs.

    If he was humble and nice like Oscar, he wouldn't of done amazing PPVs like he has.

    I'm not comparing them.

    But to say Oscar could draw a lot when fighting unknowns is absurd.

    But Mayweather is averaging more PPVs sells per fight than Oscar is.

    Oscar needed a B side just like every other PPV fighter.

    With the exception of Tyson. Who is the king of PPV headlining by far. He could fight nobodies and do 1 million.

    Oscar couldn't come close.

    Mayweather without the money persona = Shane Mosley

    Hmmmm imo it depends on the personality demographic in the fighter pool.

    How many fighters out there play the villain? How many play the good guy? This makes a difference as well.

    It would be less, but at this point it would be the same whether he continues with the money may persona or not.

    If acting like an idiot makes money then a lot here would be established inventors, including yourself.

    Fact is you need to have the personality, fighting ability and brains to accomplish that. Otherwise we would have a lot of advisors telling their guys to act similarly and end up rich easily, right?, I mean if YOU have his mentality and ability to attract people figured out then why not share the wealth?, the hell with sharing with others, why not share it with yourself?.

    It's not just act a fool and make money, got to have the style and ability to communicate to accomplish that. Above all, got to have the fighting style to back up these words and a strong mentality and heart to say them and go in being boo'd in a sport where he could end up stretched out cold and possibly DEAD or disabled from a single punch. You know the mental pressure such an act could bring especially in a sport where it's all mental?, he adds more pressure to attract more viewers and make more money, if it was easy to do everyone else in the sport would be rich as well.

    I do agree with the concept because it's true, the majority do tune in hoping to see him lose or badly hurt.

    wow seriously u need to chill the **** out!
    I dont know if its coz of the whole pac/floyd rivalry these days but i swear
    floyd and pac fans are so dam defensive these days!

    Im not having a go at floyd nor am i saying the ONLY REASON he sells is coz hes an idiot. I happen to think hes an amazing boxer!

    I was simply wondering if he would sell as many tickets if he was the 100% exact same boxer, but was nice and polite all the time.
