Floyd vs berto is ppv thoughts ?

[VG_Addict]

It's probably just me, but I think it's frustrating that Floyd had all this talent, but never dared to be great. He didn't fight who he was supposed to.

It's not just you, there are a couple of other dummies here too.

I mean, he didn't fight the best at their best.

Think its a huge mistake not putting this showcase on "free" tv and erase some of the bitter taste left after the Manny blah. It'd be mainstream massive! Yes its all about business but charging for this is playing the public for fools all over again with this big steamy pile. Badou Jack as co main

You donkeys keep blaming Floyd for Manny's poor performance.

Floyd fought exactly the kind of fight Floyd had fought for years. He did exactly what we all knew he would. He shut down his opponent's offense and connected with a high percentage of his own power punches.

It's Manny who couldn't fight his usual fight and failed to have a plan B.

Floyd is like a Wall Street banker. The definition of insanity is to allow the same people to rob you and rob you and then rob you again.

Had a feeling that a freebe was to good to be true especially since he announced it would be on CBS who owns Showtime. Kind of a bad business move for them to burn their own contract and hand Floyd his base 32 mil for fighting Berto

How have YOU been robbed by a guy who fights the same style every fight?

As I said in other posts, Floyd wasn't wrong to fight a gimme for his last fight, as long as it was free. This fight on PPV You are a moron if you buy it. A dumb ass. Period. Gross rip off. Worst PPV card since Butterbean fought.

How is Floyd vs Berto any different than Pacquiao vs Rios?

Which was also a PPV!

Floyd Mayweather has never robbed me. Mayweather got rich by fleecing people inordinate sums based on deception. It's a snakeskin trickster game and it's a shame that at 38 he is still getting away with it. Andre Berto PPV. And it will sell!

I would not ever spend the money to buy this fight. I honestly don't know if I would even spend 5 dollars on it. It won't be exciting and Floyd will easily win. It isn't a good win either. It does nothing for him. Like others have said, if it were free, I'm all for it. No way I would buy a PPV though.

Though admittedly Floyd does have several good wins. However, there are many, many fights that are sheer trickery. Baldomir, Ortiz, Marquez, Gatti etc. These were con tricks.

I'd bet 2 million of the +4 million ppv buys for Manny/Floyd were purchased based solely on that very sentiment. That is the hook. For 18 years this guy has managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes while they purchased tickets thinking this was the night they would see him lose. Those shifty Magicians that fool us some of the time have nothing on this guy. He fools us all the time and with dominance. Senses completely muted by the guy for close to 2 decades. Brilliant.

For boxing fans this is a joke, but I can understand it from the networks perspective, as a shameless expirement. Aside from Pacquiao, Canelo, and DLH, pretty well all of Floyds PPV's in recent years were sold entirely on his name and brand, like it or not. Adding to that: The Pac fight did what, twice as many buys as any other fight ever? Of course most of the reaction ws negative, but it was still such massive exposure that there could be some carry over from it. I wouldn't be surprised if this sold a lot more than one would expect, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was Floyds lowest selling PPV ever either, I guess Showtime is confident it will be the former. Wonder how many buys they need to make a decent profit, after you take in Floyds base pay and all that.

How is he fleecing people? What is the deception?
He fights in virtually the same masterful style in every fight.
Boxing fans and the general public can look up his opponent's records on Boxrec or watch prediction videos on YouTube and if they really care to be informed then they watch the opponent's previous fights.
Where's the fleecing? Where's the deception?
Floyd says he's TBE and he dismantles every opponent and beats them by wide margins almost every time.

I just fail to see how this fight could be interesting in any way
