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

    Which was also a PPV!

    It's not I think it's basically the same but it's just Floyd is on another level to pacman or anyone else for that matter I personally rate him as the best ever I don't care what anyone says, I've seen them all and floyds the best. People just expect that bit more from him. Pacman fighting rios and algeri was a joke but I didn't complain because I don't think pacman is as good as most and I honestly believe is his prime he was on steroids there's no doubt in my mind. So a pacman not on steroids is just a good fighter nothing more.

    It's no different. People were stupid to buy that fight as well. Same with Pac vs Algieri. Bad decisions (to purchase the fights). I hope this fight tanks. Not because I hate Floyd, but because the sport needs to get the message that $50 and higher PPV is good for big match ups/great cards, but not every big name fighter deserves the money that comes from beating bums up on PPV. If this PPV tanks, in addition to the ones that tanked for Manny (Rios/Algieri), Arum, Golden Boy, Haymon...etc., will get the message.

    I'm not happy about Floyd fighting Berto, I don't think anybody is so much bigger than the sport that they "Earn the right to take a Gimme." Boxing is a competitive sport with a lot of money being thrown about, it is not only disrespectful, but also potentially dangerous to have mismatches. I know Floyd isn't a heavy puncher and you might laugh at the "Danger" comment, but I also believe it's dangerous for Floyd or anyone else to potentially go into a fight taking it lightly and not training adequately.
    However, all this "Floyd is conning the public" business is bollocks. Floyd may be powerful in the sport, but it's not his decision to make this ppv, that's down to the TV companies. Next Floyd will get the Blame for Global Recession! basically, you have a choice, Pay or don't pay. I wouldn't pay, but each to their own.
    as for all the people who paid for the Floyd v Manny fight and felt robbed, well they must be plain fucking stupid!
    a.) everybody should've seen that that's the type of fight it would be. I did , I paid and I didn't feel robbed. and
    b.) if there is any blame for it being a damp squib, that has to be entirely down to Pacquiao. Floyd is there to win, he won and took no collateral damage, isn't that what it's all about? or do you think he should deliberately try and get hurt just to please everyone?
    Pac went down a lot in my estimation , not only because he was awful on the night, but then he talked like a cunt after it. If he picked up an injury prior to the fight , he shouldn't have got in the ring, and if he thinks he won the fight, he is fucking deluded.

    I actually think this is a wind up. I mean, Berto? Is this a ploy just to get people in his camp to look at the things his trainer, Virgil Hunter does. In light of preparing for Kahn? I know he has a supposed history of that.

    Yeah okay, admittedly I must be dazed and confused but it just makes no sense to put Berto on PPV

    I guess I'll watch the fight. On YouTube.

    Even the flomos thought it was a joke when Floyd first mentioned Berto or Mayfield. The most important part was when Floyd said - "whoever I fight I make $35 million."

    The dopes that buy his fights in the hope of seeing him chinned probably still will. The dopes that buy his fights because they think he's TBE probably still will. The dopes that buy his fights because of his bling, birds and motors probably still will.

    This is no different than these big name, past their prime Hollywood actors who demand large sums for medicre movies.

    I saw "The Equalizer" the other night with Denzel Washington. Dull and predictable....

    Mayweather wants an “entertaining fight” one where he can tee off, go on the offensive, look sensational and take risks with little worry - to keep up interest in his bouts before he goes for one more to surpass Rocky Marciano’s undefeated record of 49-0. An out-of-contract Mayweather can then name his price to fight a decent opponent on his terms. Berto becomes less of a contest, and more of a tune-up, to a record-breaking 50th win.

    Mayweather is a master at marketing himself

    I very well might but the undergrad will be important on this one. I'm not a flomo, in no way do I expect to see Floyd lose and I don't give a Shit about his bling but I do like to watch him box. Getting a Floyd fight for me is being one with Rocco.
