The undercard is going to suck.
The biggest fight in MMA history will be free right before it starts.
There is no Canelo Alvarez or Eric Morales celebrity in the undercard.
The fight will not be on a Mexican holiday.
There is a FALSE PERCEPTION (from the casual fans' perspective) that Marquez has no chance. REALITY: The Marquez that is fighting Pacquiao is 2 times more dangerous than the fattened up victim who got cheated by jr. middleweight a few years ago.
Conclusion: Pac/JMM III will do less than 800k. It breaking 800k would be equivalent to Mayweather/Ortiz (with the record millions of millions spent on its promotion, Mexican holiday timing, super-stacked Mexican undercard) doing 1.6 million PPV buys.
