I do agree that PBFs smack talk is annoying but you gotta admit that the fact were discussing him shows that there's definitely a method to his madness

oh, floyd is good at what he does. No matter how much of a bore his fights are, we continue to pay to see this guys fight. I take nothing from this guy. I just want him to stop talking smack about all these fighters and bring them in the ring and prove his point as the best. That is all I ask for.
Now, I think he is a jelous type fighter when it comes to the financial side of the game. He was always jelous about Oscar being the highest PPV attraction in all of boxing. He hated it. So, he went ahead and fought him. He still won't sell more PPV's then Oscar because the fans weren't pleased with his performance and don't like the way he speaks to other fighters.
I think he is starting to bring up COTTO in his interviews because COTTO is starting to rise on the PPV sells. He sold alot for the Judah fight and I'm sure that Floyd wants to say something about that. He is a selfish type fighter that wants all the money for him and nothing for anybody else. But he is very skilled in the ring. I give him that much. about.

about the promoter thing, you're right, it is about selling tickets but you can't sell tickets w/o giving us fans what we want to see!
