RE: Things not thread worthy
Mayweather is in quite the bind. He milked his mainstream status for all that it was worth but it has become apparent that "Mayweather V.S Anyone" is not the biggest fight out there. Like you guys said, he needs a big name on the other corner. Guerrero and Maidana just don't do it for the general public. It's also why he only fights on the weekends of Mexican holidays, even when he isn't fighting a Mexican. He's trying to attract Mexicans but they, and the rest of the boxing fanbase love entertaining fighters more than anything.
Gatti and Vargas lost a bunch of fights, but their fans always showed up. Golovkin drew a big crowd at the StubHub because he's entertaining. Same with Froch in England, Cotto in New York and Canelo anywhere where there are Mexicans. As much as Mayweather and his fans like to bitch about how skills pay the bills, the reality is that for a fighter to be loved he must show passion and grit. Sure, the chances of being number 1 P4P are cut short, but the money isn't. |
