There's a very good chance it will be, however, I'm not counting out Pac/JMM, once casuals are reminded (or shown for the first time) how close the first 2 fights were and if the Mexican fanbase decides to buy in, we could see some impressive numbers.

Golden Boy Promotion is just using Mayweather to get more exposure for THEIR FIGHTERS which is SMART!

The better the product, the more people will buy it... especially if it's still the same price.

I haven't been to alot of DLH fights, but the ones that I have been to had tons of (mostly chubby) young women who knew no boxing except Oscar.
Unless Ortiz can capture that same non-fan, the Floyd-Oscar number will be tough to reach.

In fact, it is generous of the main event guy (floyd or whoever) to give up some profit in order to give the fans a deeper card.
But MP also benefits with Vargas on the card

Originally posted by Gino Ros View PostInteresting point, Chups.
Oscar was the guy who would "launch" careers: Floyd, Manny, and to a lesser extent, Hopkins.
It will be interesting to see how Floyd does in that role as the biggest name in the sport. Marquez certainly had good numbers post-Floyd. Ortiz SHOULD be able to use this opportunity to get his brand out there. Nice looking kid. Likeable. GREAT backstory.
If I were Floyd, i would be using my bully pulpit to keep hammering the "improved drug testing" campaign. Every time there was a microphone in my face.
Leading by example is great, and I commend him for that. But he should also put pressure on the commissions and promoters by exploiting the media.
Expect a Pac-Ortiz soon.

is 24/7 as galvanizing with Beristain's subtitles as opposed to Naazim's pearls of wisdom?
