Is Mayweather ruining the sport of boxing?

[DaxxKahn]

HAHA so asking for $10,000,000 per pound over weight isnt an addition o the normal rules? Pac started the whole one upmanship game, and when it go too much for him he walked away and walked away looking like a cheater. Another deluded PACTARD!

Instead of the Pactard name calling you should take the post for its context....The Pacquiao fight was not mentioned it was just Floyds constant demands period.....

Here are a few things people are failing to look at....

Floyds resume since 2003,,,,,Tell me a fighter in their prime, show me one dangerous opponent, show me one fighter not on thier way out....Hell in the Hatton fight people seem to forget Hatton looked like shit against every WW he ever faced....Floyd knew Hatton was hand picked for his style...

Where are Floyds PPV drawing powers?...

PBF/DLH....DLH could sell a million PPV buys tripping old ladies donw the stairs FACT...Oscar was the draw for that fight..

PBF/Hatton....Hatton wass the draw for that fight......

PBF/Marquez....People wanted to see what kind of shape PBF was in for the (what everyone assumed was going to be a showdown with Pacquiao)....Real reason it sold so well....

Floyd would not fight Mosley because he is not a PPV draw? (Floyds own words)...Well if Floyd is such a big PPV draw it should not matter who he faces.,.....

Now we want to keep looking for smaller opponents to fill the void? A feather duster in Malignaggi?.....

I am not a Floyd Fan nor a Pacquiao fan but to keep using the Pacquiao fight as a reason to say that PBF is not a pain in the ass and deny has really done little to add to boxings appeal is foolish......

Please name what Floyd has done to make boxing more exciting? Fought Baldomir?, Gatti? Washed up DLH?, A smaller Marquez who struggkled with a one dimensional Diaz?....This is the actions of a great fighter?.......

Make your money all you want but dont act as though these are great achievements.....

Floyd can tell everyone it is raining all he wants but he forgets we can all see him pissing off the balcony

Pac/DLH- DLH was still the draw, yet it sold a hell of a lot less than Mayweather/DLH hmmm

Pac/Hatton- both guys had about even amount of pull in this, and yet it still did less than Mayweather/Hatton, hmmmmmmmm

only reason Cotto/Pacquiao did slightly better than Mayweather/Marquez is because obviously it was more of an even matchup and they are both come forward fighters, there is no doubt in my mind Mayweather/Mosley will outsell Pacquiao/Clottey, and its due to the fact that it's 2 of the biggest names in boxing against each other, while Pacquiao/Clottey is not

For Manny/DLH people expecte3d a slaughter due to obvious reasons so why pay money for a one sided fight they could see on HBO for free 2 weeks later.....Turned out people were right just not in the direction expected.....

Hatton had given shit performances with the exception of Malignaggi and even his own UK fan base dropped according to live gates outside the UK.......

Mayweather/Marquez was expected to be a one sided fight as it was and still did well, what's the excuse for Pacquiao/Diaz?

WTF does Pacquiao Diaz have anything to do with it?

As far as Floyd/Jmm fans were are () expecting to see Pac/PBF...The curiosity was there to see how well Floyd had held up during his absence...It was to see how he handled JMM to see how a PBF/PAC fight might go..

The same reason Floyd picked JMM as an opponent....Other then that JMM had zero logic in being an opponent for Floyd

Manny's fights with JMM did 190 000 and 350 000 in a booming economy. Floyd JMM did a million in a recession with a guy who was smaller than him and that Manny had two decisions over.

The fighters are the attraction, not the weight division. If Floyd had fought Cotto instead of Manny last November he'd have done a lot more buys than the fight got.

Yes agree with that will maybe more on (Cotto-Floyd), but remember even if your an attraction in lower weights still it will make a difference just what it takes on Welters north.

Besides both of them hit millions when they're in welters, no doubt Floyd still in command in terms in PPV sales.
