I suppose being called the P4P No. 1 helps greatly in drawing in viewers.columbo wrote:It's funny though in regards to certain fans moaning about the way he fights as they still tune in! The guy is the biggest draw in boxing by a pretty big distance. Only Pacquaio can somewhat compete in that regard.youngrell wrote:Yeah, that's essentially what I said and that's completely fine for him to make that choice. But along with that comes some criticism. The point is to entertain the fans, albeit his skills do that, just not as much as someone like Pacquiao as he takes risks and tries his best to get his opponent out of there.TheCobra wrote: I guess with Mayweather what's the point of him taking more risks, he fights, he wins, he's the best. He hits and rarely gets hit back, that's the idea I suppose of boxing. He could give us more excitment, but then he'd get hit more, if you had a choice I think you'd do the same, why get hit if you don't have to? It hurts!
It's a shame that the casuals get drawn in to some of his fights, which end up being terrible as he's far superior to his opponent, and it leaves them scratching their heads why they paid £15 for it. If they weren't such sheep following what TV tells them is the biggest and best fight, and tuned in for say, Pacqiuao v Marquez, they'd leave much happier customers.[/quote]
True but those same kind of casuals must be coming back to watch again as his PPV numbers havent seemed to of dropped. If anything, they seem to increase!
