Is Mayweather Jr. really worth the PPV mega-bucks he gets for his "fights"?

[C-Lo]

I can understand the general public thinking Floyd's style is "boring" but if you're a TRUE boxing fan, you would appreciate the defensive genius that Floyd displays everytime he's in the ring. I don't like the guy, persona or not. I think he cherry picks his opponents but I know when there's a one of a kind talent and that's why I tune in whenever he fights. So yes, he is worth the money, IMO, when I pay to see him fight.

Come on C-Lo, if I don't appreciate Mayweather i'm not a true fan of boxing? In my case, it's not about lack of appreciation, it's about disinterest, there's dozens of other fighters i'd much rather watch, and to me, Mayweather's fights are too infrequent for him to be relevant to boxing anymore.

I wasn't targeting you on this. I was making a general statement. Whether or not you believe he deserves the money for his fights, he is a great talent and that can't be denied.

I don't deny that Mayweather has talent or that he deserves the money that he's able to generate on his PPVs, more power to him for marketing himself well. Just saying, to me, his fights aren't worth PPV money, and I simply have no interest in seeing him fight, if that makes me less of a "purist" or a 'true' boxing fan, then so be it. I guess i'm just not enthralled/thrilled with the pitiful few fights Mayweather has blessed boxing with the last 5 years, like some of you seem to be.
