ESPN MAGAZINE: HUGE feature on DLH-MAYWEATHER. Mayweather on cover!

The last time I saw a fighter on the cover of ESPN was... damn i dont even know. I've never seen a fight this big. This is absolutely huge. Those who say it wont break the 1.4 million PPV Buys (record for a non-heavyweight fight) should punch themselves in the face. DLH even says hes never been involved in all this hype. Im guessing 1.6-1.8 Normally I'd say 1.5 at the best, but theres a 4 part series on HBO, Mayweather is on the cover of ESPN now, they went on a nation wide press tour, they've both been to hundreds of photoshoots for magazines and interviews... This is BIG stuff

HBO is doing a great job. Especially with the 24/7 show. I have been around a few training camps and have seen what goes on, yet I still love the show and love to see what these guys are doing. It gets me all pumped up for the fight!

There are also a lot of articles being written about the fight on various sports websites and magazines. The fight is getting major press and could make Mayweather a star if he dominates May 5th... remember after all is GBP doing the work

Animal Squabbs you must've forgot...They usually put the people who they think will win on the cover. And PBF is definetly going to win so why throw DLH on there? Cause Oscar is gonna lay him out flat.

I saw the magazine, its not really a huge article. Its 1-2 pages longer than the other stories, but not that huge. I meant "huge" like important... u know? But its still pretty big. Good article
