And the one thing I noticed was hot little buzz there was for the fight. Really no one in the room was buying the idea that this was a competitive, compelling fight that the world should stop for.
Mayweather wasn't his usual arrogant, polarizing self, which pretty much made for a dull event. Marquez spoke better English than I thought he would but he wasn't about to electrify anyone with his words.

he said something along the lines that he could have received 100 mill up front for the fight and turned it down for some reason, i have to break down the tape but it sounded pretty ridiculous.
pooooooooooooo!!
sounds about right... I think floyd though that his come back was gonna be glamorous and triumphant, but he might be lowering his expectations.
Yep, He would be thinking people would be clamouring for his return but the problem is he didnt return straight into a big challenging fight in the eyes of many people.
If he had comeback against someone like Cotto he would/could have generate alot of interest and people might take to him but trying to fight someone who fought last at 135 at 147 is a bit of a dumb thing to do if he want people to endure themselves with him.
You sound so bias, hard to take what you say seriously.
Yeah, I read his reports because I want to glean some sort of information (like the fight is at 143, not 147) not wading through biased BS.

You sound like a Pacquiao fan........
Just watched the press conference in Los Angeles, and it seemed to be kicking. A lot of noise and a lot of Marquez fans turned up.
Im going to see both of them tommorow and Friday. Cant wait!
the press coverage from this fight barely began dude. trust me mayweather is gonna be mayweather and marquez is gonna fire back. its gonna happen. pacquiao hatton was just two dudes who got along really well. plus they were two fighters who arnt from the us. There is a much larger mexican boxer fan base in the us and phillipino trust me and well with the mayweathers no doubt ull get your controversy.
As another thread mentioned it seems like he's having a bit of a personality change. Maybe he got over the extreme cockiness in his time off with family and away from boxing(although he's obviously still very confident). I have a feeling he'll really turn up the intensity on the home stretch. I don't think he anticipated that the media would be so critical of him right now. I bet he also assumed they would be more willing to buy into his claims of #1.. They're not falling in line very well. He's a little taken aback by this.
Bang on, to add to it, I don't think he saw a figher like Pac get the status/recognition/appreciation that he didn't. Only helped fuel the fire imo.
Whoa!
Is this for sure? Where did you get that info from?
Bert Sugar told me, saying it was harder for Mayweather to come down to 143 than Marquez coming up.
As far as 400,000 PPV buys, that isn't going to happen unless Mayweather goes out there and starts pushing buttons.
Floyd knows he's going against a smaller fighter that is coming up 2 wieght classes so he's going to push the envelope tyring to discredit him; not only that, but Marquez can't verbally defend himself too good. Bad for business.
When 24/7 hits the airwaves this fight will get everyone talking. This fight does no less than 400k, I don't care how little buzz there is right now.
calm before the storm my ass!!!! mayweather is a pussy. even if he wins against pacquiao or jmm he will still be a pussy. he can keep his undefeated record but we all know who the real MEN are, and those are the ones who fight all odds and prove everybody why they are the best. something mayweather wont do. pitty patty it's not about how good the fight is its all about money!
lol...oh well...
Hehe, I didn't even know I was going until this morning.
Too bad it was media only. It wudda been difficult sneaking in the freakin Empire State Building.
If my connections work out I will be in the Garden for Cotto-Clottey. Shud be a great night.:boxing:

I doubt that much...
u fuuucking floyd fanatics think he calm down? what the fuuuck. mayweather is sad because there's a new man in town. mayweather says he's the king well pacquiao is an ace. ace beats king all the time. second he thought that everybody will be jumping in excitement for this fight but nobody was too happy because jmm is a smaller guy instead of pussy may fighting a top welter. he knows he has been exposed.
if floyd wont knock marquez out this will just prove that pacquiao is the man. why? marquez went up in weight to fight the big guy and still can't be knocked out. i know floyd will win through pitty patty but i hope marquez hurt him and make him look stupid even if he won
It's the calm before the storm, Pacquiao and Arum are going to get it..
Asian you bastard. I wanted to go...lmao. I deff wudda been there...well I had a test anyway but yea...lol
