If the first fight with Castillo was counted as a loss and the first with Maidana as well a loss. Would Mayweather be as big as he is now? Would he have been the cash cow ever?
Yes or no?

If he would have lost I think we'd see the best of Floyd in fights after that. He wouldn't be scared of losing and take tougher fights. Pacquiao lost and still is a top earner in the sport.
Why on earth would the first Maidana fight be a loss?
Exactly my thought!Quote:

Floyd lost all his fights.Quote:

He has ducked everyone and the illumati and new world order has put him in this position.
The fact he fought and beat castillo in a close fight with a torn rotator cuff and then listens to fans and gives him a rematch and dominates uninjured should be applauded.
Yeah I said it...lol
Floyd would not be able to command as much money, everyone wants to see him lose his 0.
Is that the same for for every other undefeated fighter?Quote:

I don't think so. A lot of his heat comes from being playing the role of the villain, the guy who people want to see get his comeuppance. If he was already bested, people wouldn't be as interested. The streak, the 0, is a big part of his drawing ability.Quote:

Floyd-Hatton was billed as - Undefeated
Being undefeated is a massive seller for casual fans (who are the market for PPV)
