Yes, Floyd Has Skills.......but

You may want to read what the initial argument was about. 2007 may have broken records, in LARGE part due to PBF-DLH, but it certainly is NOT more popular. The #'s are up in the sense that there are more PPV than ever before and people are FORCED to buy to watch. Thus the reason popularity is DOWN. WWE's numbers are up for PPV from the 90's as well because they have 14 a year now as opposed to the 6 or so they had before. But the #'s per PPV are down and so is it's popularity.

And by coverage, I meant media coverage. Virtually no one covers boxing.

 

i think my point has been made, good night.

 

You play this game, one I have already done with you before. You never addressed my post. Don't be redundant.

The point was, PBF was partially responsible for the PPV record. You disputed this as being part of it and left it virtually all on 24/7. Even if 24/7 WAS responsible, PBF would be part of that as well, something I already said.

 

Yeah help, but not 2.4 million record breaking help. Floyd and his dysfunctional family was the main reason why people watched 24/7. It sure wasn't Oscar and Millie:deal

 

I was about to say the same thing. Regardless of whether it was 24/7 or not, it was still the fighter and their personality that attracted the attention (whether positive or not)

 

The only point you made is that boxing has high PPV numbers because there are more PPV's. People don't have more access to PPV, they have more PPV to access. The popularity is down, and therefore, as what the thread was about to begin with, it doesn't account for the reason the PPV record was broken.

Let me make this simple for you. PPV number PER PPV are not up. So saying the numbers are up doesn't account for the PPV record for PBF-DLH.

 

I have to admit that Floyd's popularity has risen rcently thanks to his bouts with Gatti, Judah and DeLaHoya also dancing with the stars and now Ricky Hatton.

The bottom line is he is getting more money than he deserves.

 

Just realised that I share birthday with Floyd Mayweather.




GO FLOYD!

 

Let's hope you don't also share personality with him...

 

STFU motherfocker, I'm the best, nobody can beat me, I'm A+ you are C-

 

You just don't like him, end of story Freddy. DLH beat Mayorga long after his "Baddest man" persona was completely shot by getting destroyed by Trinidad and beaten by Spinks. So that had little if anything to do with the PPV numbers.
