    Default Floyd vs berto is ppv thoughts ?

    I'm a little shocked to be honest thought this fight would of been free. I would imagine this will be a very hard sell and I don't mind Floyd taking an easy fight but don't charge people to watch it IMO

    Seems like a recipe for disaster. Floyd's coming off the "Fight of the Century" that left 4.4 million PPV buyers disappointed.

    Now he's jumping into a PPV against a nobody gives a fuck about and hasn't really been relevant in several years.

    I understood it when it was a free fight. I didn't like it, but I understood it. But as a PPV it's just garbage. Berto isn't even near the top 10 at WW.

    There's so many better fights at WW: Thurman, Brook, Porter, Bradley, Danny Garcia... hell even Amir Khan. This is just a completely underwhelming fight. This would have been a great scrap 5 years ago, before Berto went on his career nosedive.

    It's probably not Floyd's call to make it PPV, but it's still a shit fight. I wouldn't buy it.

    It's probably just me, but I think it's frustrating that Floyd had all this talent, but never dared to be great. He didn't fight who he was supposed to.

    It's not just you, there are a couple of other dummies here too.

    I mean, he didn't fight the best at their best.

    Think its a huge mistake not putting this showcase on "free" tv and erase some of the bitter taste left after the Manny blah. It'd be mainstream massive! Yes its all about business but charging for this is playing the public for fools all over again with this big steamy pile. Badou Jack as co main

    You donkeys keep blaming Floyd for Manny's poor performance.

    Floyd fought exactly the kind of fight Floyd had fought for years. He did exactly what we all knew he would. He shut down his opponent's offense and connected with a high percentage of his own power punches.

    It's Manny who couldn't fight his usual fight and failed to have a plan B.

    Floyd is like a Wall Street banker. The definition of insanity is to allow the same people to rob you and rob you and then rob you again.

    Had a feeling that a freebe was to good to be true especially since he announced it would be on CBS who owns Showtime. Kind of a bad business move for them to burn their own contract and hand Floyd his base 32 mil for fighting Berto

    As I said in other posts, Floyd wasn't wrong to fight a gimme for his last fight, as long as it was free. This fight on PPV You are a moron if you buy it. A dumb ass. Period. Gross rip off. Worst PPV card since Butterbean fought.

    Floyd Mayweather has never robbed me. Mayweather got rich by fleecing people inordinate sums based on deception. It's a snakeskin trickster game and it's a shame that at 38 he is still getting away with it. Andre Berto PPV. And it will sell!
