MAyweather 4th all time in PPV sales

[Althugz]

Well, I am surprised. I don't quite get why that many people would splash out to watch a WW take on LW. I'm surprised more didn't cancel their subscription after the weigh in debacle too. It's not a good sign that people will watch in their droves to see Mayweather fight a hand picked opponent. We might never see the last of this type of behaviour.

Man, you are so bitter recently - The fact that he is now the 4th biggest draw ever is good for boxing right now. I don't see any other stars at the moment, do you?

I was the first one to shake my head when I heard that he weighed in 4lbs more than Marquez but you're actually saying people SHOULDN'T have tuned in and that "it's not a good sign"??

Listen to yourself! A lot of these buyers were probably casual fans so how the hell is it not a good sign that we are bringing more casual fans to the sport of boxing??

More fans to boxing = "not a good sign"?...ok then

Nooo!!! Not the miles has turned bitter thing again!

I agree that it's a good thing that boxing has an audience, but I also think that if that audience is forking out nigh on 50 dollars to watch a fight then it should be Mayweather taking on a serious challenge and against an opponent who can actually compete at his weight. I felt that the Mayweather/Marquez fight was a bit of a con all in all. Boxing can make better matchups than that and a paying public deserves better than that too.

Fair enough Miles.

I understand your point but as long as the general public enjoyed it (and I think they did), that is the main thing because they won't feel conned.

I see why you feel conned but again, you're thinking as a hardcore fan.

My girlfriend stayed up to watch the fight with me and even though it wasn't the most action packed fight, she thought it was great. Due to Floyd's speed, agility and dominance etc.

She doesn't really know the first thing about boxing and I imagine if she enjoyed it, then a whole heap of other casual fans did as well.
