The same nikkas glorifying Floyd beating a guy who never boxed professionally are the same nikkas who gave Drake a pass for having ghost writers.

Mayweather-McGregor Gate Falls Short of May-Pacquiao Record
Two weeks prior to the event, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe told reporters that ticket sales for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor fight, which took place on August 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, were on a pace to break the all-time boxing gate record - which is held by Mayweather's 2015 showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
"Right now, we have over $60 million in the box office," Ellerbe said.
"And you tell me, what part of that remotely looks like ticket sales are slow. This isn't a damn Rolling Stones concert. That's the only thing that sells out in seconds. When you are talking about tickets going from $500 to $10,000, that's an expensive ticket. So you have every CEO from every major company. You know, guys, it takes time to plan and get it together."

But the information provided to Ellerbe was not accurate, as the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed to multiple outlets that Mayweather-McGregor brought in a gate of $55,414,865.79 in ticket sales.
The record is still held strong by Mayweather-Pacquiao with $72,198,500 - and that contest took place at the smaller MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Mayweather-McGregor still brought in major money and the live gate figure is by far in second place - blowing out Mayweather's 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez by more than $35 million ($20,003,150).
Mayweather-McGregor had an official attendance of 13,231 (13,094 sold and configured to seat 17,698) - a few thousand short of a sell-out, but many had felt the tickets were heavily overpriced. In the other corner, Mayweather-Pacquiao sold all 16,219 tickets the minute they went on sale.

...ya realize their wasnt 6.5 million PPV buys right? That's fake news bruhs.
Numbers are fake news but the reality isn't
Floyd 'Money' Mayweather the biggest name in boxing and MMA
. Providing generational wealth for fighters because at TMT we feel thats the least we can do after making you apart of our collection (pause 
) Just ask Maidana and Conor :desiigner:

2x...and defending
Breadman thinking the exact same thing I believe about the fight:
People became so invested in the fight when their own predictions or subjective preference didn’t happen they came up with conspiracy theories. For example people who thought McGregor would win say he took a dive. People who said McGregor wouldn’t land a punch, say Floyd let him. People who said Floyd would ko him within a couple of rounds, say Floyd carried him.
Until I see more proof I say Floyd took his time, broke him down, took him in deep water and drowned him. It’s exactly what he does in all of his fights.

Lol you a funny nikka. But the REAL reality is Floyd is only a draw when his opponent is a draw as well. His highest numbers are with ppl who were confirmed big draws themselves - Pacquiao, McGregor, De La Hoya, Canelo.
We all remember his Guerrero (870K), Berto (550K) and Maidana (900K & 925K for rematch) numbers, which were all below 1M buys. And let me be clear, those are still profitable numbers for Floyd, but SHO loss $ on those fights. So kudos to Floyd for getting the longer end of the stick in the deal (pause) and womp womp to SHO.

This is the main reason boxing is "dead". These so called "boxing journalists" take more joy in proving Leonard Ellerbe wrong that they can't celebrate that boxing just did $55M on a random weekend (Aug 26th) with less than 3 months promotion. There's literally no reason for an event that grossed this much to have such a negative angle to it. Now Fat Dan on twitter basking in the joy of Leonard being wrong.....

Because "boxing" didn't do those numbers, Mayweather vs McGregor did. And that exhibition was a disgrace to all the REAL members of the boxing community, who would have preferred that Mayweather end his career against a real professional boxer who could challenge him.
I don't know why boxing fans always wanna have an elitist attitude about everything. "REAL members of the boxing community", huh? Please explain who that consist of? The reality is that all you herbs who claim to be "real" boxing fans had an option that night. A "real" boxing match took place that very night. Where was Fat Dan? 
What thread on here were YOU in?
Where was every REAL BOXER from Spence, Garcia, Tyson, Holyfield, Sugar Ray, etc that night?
Since Fat Dan is a representation of "REAL members of the boxing community" to you, count how many articles he's written about that other REAL fight that night versus this "exhibition".
The sport took center stage and stopped the sports world and all you clowns can talk about is this "REAL" nonsense. The only common denominator in 5 out of 6 of Vegas' biggest gates is BOXING. And yet, you still find flaw in that........... as a member of the real boxing community.

Real members of the boxing community are those who cover the sport, those who critique the sport, and the fans who actually support the sport whether it's via PPV or attending live.
Dan Rafael and most of the media were there because it's their job to be there. As trash as the event was, it was the biggest event of the year. But just because it was a big event doesn't make it any more valid. And most of my comments in the thread were about how much of a farce the fight was. I was condemning it, not glorifying it. And I didn't care one iota about Kamegai.
We all knew what it was- a spectacle. And to keep it a buck, I watched it more for Conor than for Floyd. Plus I wanted to see Jack vs Cleverly. And I didn't order it, had a crisp acestream link. And afterwards we all watched the Cotto fight which was imo a better scrap.
And 5 out of the 6 biggest gates were due to boxing fights that featured boxers vs boxers. Not sure what mentioning them proved.
