Is this the formula for huge PPV numbers?
I think more people are starting to like him now more than ever. I don't know about the percentages obviously since there has been no surveys taken. Floyd is a legend and people like watching him whether blantantly or not
Absolutely.... Floyd has a massive fan base that support him around the world. He also has a growing army of 'haters' for want of a better word...
I wonder how many new Guerrero fans there was at the run up to the fight on Saturday night??
But it really doesn't matter that much to Mayweather... Love him or hate him, you'll still buy the ppv to see him win / lose.
Ten years after Floyd has retired, he will be truly appreciated for all he done in boxing. Larry Holmes was the same.. His legacy was only appreciated long after he retired too.
The haters can hate..... As long as they pay for the privilege!
Don't know yet but it seems more people are coming around to how really good he is. Robert Guerrero was demolishing his opponents on his way up to fight Mayweather. Now he see why Floyd is the best he thought he could win the fight but Floyd is in a league of his own. You either love Floyd or hate him those who love him wants to see him win another fight, those who hate him wants to see him lose I think that's the formula for Floyd's huge PPV numbers.
@ this time, he has more haters than fans. The way he is picking his opponents right now irritates a lot of boxing and non-boxing fans. Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero, then who? Another B class fighter. Another fighter he can beat and make money off. Pacquiao just got KO'ed and yet he still doesn't want to fight him. Martinez is willing to drain himself down to 150, still a NO. We are hoping for Canelo Alvarez, not on his mind. Face it people, he doesn't have the guts to take on tough challenges. He himself said it before, why fight fighters that can beat him when they are fighters out there who he can beat.
This formula isn't for PPV numbers, its for him to stay undefeated. This formula is to also trick people to buy PPV even though the fight isn't going to be great with the help of showtime.
For example:
Strangely Appealing Discounts After Declining
Suppose you were considering purchasing a product from a marketer at one price. You thought better of it and decided to decline their offer and move on. Perhaps the marketer tried to negotiate with a lower price, but you held your ground. It’s at this point that most legitimate marketers accept defeat and – aside from perhaps a few follow up calls – will move on to their next client. The marketers you want to look out for are the ones who will lower the price to a ridiculous degree – it doesn’t speak much for their product to know that they want to sell it to you no matter how low they have to go.
@ cali d (dim) - LMAO at you.
What a blowhard blubber lip. 'half the people at my house watching the fight on my 60 in. Panasonic'- Real Translation - 'Half the homeless i coaxed with wine in my apartment to watch the fight on my 12 in. B&W magnavox.'

'Boxer' - Real translation - The only boxing this ol blubber lip does is boxing up items to be shipped from the warehouse he part-time works at.
@ Blubber cali d lip - A 'PRO-BOXER,' Whoa, i'm sooo sorry. I just had no idea. I suppose that means that they up graded your job title at the warehouse to a pro boxer. Congrats. I hope they gave you a raise as well, so you can save up to buy you a color tv.
Your a blowhard. I can tell you now that 7 seconds into the fight i would have you on your knees sucking my dick.
You best work up to some slap fights on your resume first.
Yes he does.
Half the people at my house for the fight on my 60 inch Panasonic wanted him to get his *** whooped and the other half never want him to lose a fight.
It is the perfect formula. Ali, Tyson, Mayweather were all loved and hated during their careers which made them the biggest stars in the history of the sport.
***ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, ANYWHERE JOHN, I'LL MAKE YOU MY GIRLFRIEND. AND THEN AFTER I **** YOU TILL YOU LOVE ME PHAGGOT, I'LL HAVE A PARTY AND EVERYONE ON BOXING ANSWERS CAN WATCH IT ON MY 60 INCH PANASONIC. JUST LIKE THEY WATCH YOUR MOM ON YOUPORN. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS AND MY LITTLE BIOTCH NOW. YOU'RE TALKING **** OVER A COMPUTER TO PRO BOXER...SMART.
@ Cali d - Well done on owning a 60 inch, why we had to be informed is still beyond me but well done nevertheless OK?
Does as many people love him as a fighter as hate him?
