    Sir! Please, let it go, admit that Floyd has cherrypicked Berto. Everyone but you has accepted that fact and most of us aren't that upset about it.
    Most of us know that Floyd is going to win and that means it's not a PPV worthy contest!
    Yes, it could be an exciting fight if Floyd was knocked down but do you expect that to happen? Of course no one knows what will happen in a fight but what is your honest prediction? Floyd is going to win right? Everyone is positive about the outcome. That's why it's not a PPV fight and a lot of boxing fans aren't going to buy it.
    It's the principal of the thing, we have boxing standards and Floyd is violating them. Lol
    One more question. Why are we haters just because we want to see a competitive fight?
    Floyd will beat any fighter. So by your own criteria there are no PPV worthy fights for Floyd. That is what makes you haters.

    It's a shit fight on paper, because Berto is not highly ranked and he's very lightly regarded.

    But Rocco is also right in that it could turn out to be a good fight in practice, if Berto somehow finds an angle, lands a punch or comes in with an effective game plan and makes the fight interesting like Maidana did. Guys have been huge underdogs and counted out of fights before and went on to either win or put on an amazing fight, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.

    Is it a PPV worthy fight? I don't think so. I doubt there's one person here that would buy the fight. But it's just a product like any other that Floyd and crew are putting out there: if enough of the public wants the fight, they'll buy it and it'll be profitable. If the public doesn't want the fight, it'll tank and sales will be the shits. So it's their gamble.

    Look the man would get 1 million buys fighting the Straw man from Wizard of Oz. Nobody should be surprised by that in this market. Half of those to see if the Straw man could pull the upset. You add the historical significance to this one and who knows?

    Donald Trump is ahead in the Polls FFS.

    If Floyd can do 1 million buys with Berto, why not? I'd sell my left shoe right now for 100k if someone would come up with the money.

    It is funny Floyd has to defend fighting Berto over Khan.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I wonder why they revamped the undercard.
    Roman Martinez vs Orlando Salido and Badou Jack vs George Groves. Maybe they got the message about Mayweather vs Berto being a shit fight.
