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

Watching Mayweather go through the gears in a fight is the most beautiful thing in the sport of Boxing. The end.

Have you watched Floyd Mayweather Jr's fights in lower weightclasses ? he was exciting then and had some good battles with N'dou, Chavez, Augustus, ETC.

For some reason I didn't watch many of Mayweather's earlier fights, I can't really say why and not to beat a dead horse, but it's safe to say that i've just never had much interest in seeing him fight.

I read once the Marciano and Louis were brought in to help with the promo for some heavyweight fight or the other, some time ago, obviously, but the fighters were making a bunch of money. (Keep in mind that, combined, Louis and Rocky made less than $5million)
As they were leaving in the limo, Marciano jumped out and started jogging alongside the car.
Louis yelled "Rocky, what the hell are you doing?"
Marciano replied "I'm training Joe. Didn't you here how much they're getting paid?"
Joe Louis told the driver "Slow down and let me out; I want to run with Rocky!"
A fighter isn't an accountant or a lawyer: they have careers that last 40 years or more, lots of time to make money, live well, and put some away. A fighter gets ten years if he's lucky.
I don't think Mayweather, or anybody, is worth $40 million for a fight, but God bless him for getting it. Sure as can be he's got 100 people around him trying to carve a chunk out him pocket.

Well make time to atleast watch his fight vs Jesus Chavez, very good action fight.

No it's not!!! He should stand in the middle of ring & let his opponent punch him, swinging blindly at him... THAT is what CHAMPIONS are made of!!!!
