mayweather coming out last night in mexican colors wearing a sombrero was awesome.

I already thought it was funny that he was wearing the colors... but when he put on the sombrero just before he came out, I lost it.

Floyd-Oscar: 2.15 million buys!
PPV telecast sets all time record

HBO Sports reported today that 2.15 million pay-per-view buys and $120 million in pay-per-view revenue was generated from last Saturday's mega fight showdown featuring Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The fight was promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in association with MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. In a fight that set the all-time pay-per-view record by eclipsing the previous mark by a sizable margin of 160,000 buys as well as establishing a new mark for revenue from a pay-per-view telecast, Mayweather scored a split decision victory and captured De La Hoya's junior middleweight title.

The showdown produced 1,225,000 buys from cable systems and 925,000 buys from satellite homes throughout the 50 states.

hes as good as ever imo and the best in the biz...its a shame they dropping the age discrmination bomb on him and replacing him with max kellermen...who i love....but hes not larry

[SunMo]

really?  i can't stand his ramblings

[MDS]

It's funny. Well it was funny when I watched boxing. Which was 3 times.

[ice grillin you]

he sounds a lot worse than what hes actually says...he knows boxing as well as anyone alive

he also conducts great interviews...no doubt due to his newspaper background

[MDS]

And also because he's senile and asks insane questions.

[SunMo]

maybe that's it...once i hear him start to try and talk, i usually change the channel or stop listening

[SunMo]

this undercard fight is great, dudes are just throwing bombs

[ice grillin you]
