Sales for the fight must suck (cuz nobody cares about Gayweather's comeback). Gayweather seems to be going all out to promote this fight, even painting an American flag on the wall of his gym.
UFC 100 is happening a week before the original date of July 18th. People would have spent all their money in Vegas during the weekend of the UFC event. Most people would likely spend their allotted PPV money on the UFC event.
The new date: September 19th. Mexican Independence Day weekend (Sept 16th is the actual date). Marquez fans will surely fork out the cash on this date. PPV sales will be pretty damn good for the fight around September 16th thanks to Marquez. But I'm sure Gayweather will claim the numbers saying he's Mr PPV, LMAO.
...............who?

Shane Carwin is an NCAA runner up from Colorado, but what he lacks in prestige hes made up with experiance and being well rounded. Very visious with submissions as well as having KO power on his feet.
So much for Floyd being this amazing draw.....
Well, he'll just take all the credit for the Mexican buys Marquez brings in, right?
yeah, but jmm is making the most money in his career fighting floyd.
Ummm, is that the headline for the UFC he plans on putting up against Gayweather vs Marquez??? Dana's gonna have to do better than that.
He should put up Roger Huerta vs Diego Sanchez on Sep 19!!! That's the fight that NEEDS to happen and Dana would be smart in making that fight on that date. You heard it here first.
Huerta is on his last fight with Grey Maynard in OK City three days before UFC 103.
You also have Tyson Griffin facing Hermes Franca on the 103 Card.
If I was Bellator, I'd be making some calls right around now.
And if the rumors are true, Marquez/Mayweather are going to have problems if Carwin/Velaquez is the headline event in Dallas.

Haha, Dana White's UFC already helped screw Gayweather in July, now he's talking about going head to head with him on the rescheduled date.
And if the rumors are true, Marquez/Mayweather are going to have problems if Carwin/Velaquez is the headline event in Dallas.
I hear you..but I'm telling you, I been around this site. They would STILL find excuses to use.....I just KNOW it bro.
Maybe, lets wait and see...
This makes a lot of sense.
Perro just dislikes Floyd A LOT, he will do anything to put him down and try to be negative.

When has DLH done 2.4 million without Mayweather, when did Hatton do 900k+ without Mayweather? I aint saying it was all him of course it wasn't but it sure had something to do with him. Saying they didn't is crazy...
All of those fights would be tough for Floyd but I think he would win, but it aint an obvious outcome of course those opponents have a chance. In fairness if he was to fight then and beat them or even just fight them like they ask I don't think they would say anything. I made a poll a while ago saying would you respect him if he fought and beat JMM, Pacquiao and Mosley and/or Cotto or just fight them and the majority said yes they would have no choice but to respect him. Only a few people said no, but oh well just forget them... wish I made it public now so I could find out who they were.

Does make a ton of sense, we all know Fraud aint no mr ppv, its always been his opponents who bring in the ppv's ala DLH & Hatton

you know like I know...they really don't like the GUY! No matter the situation man. He could get into a life threatening car accident, and WITHOUT ANY REAL DETAILS FROM THE ACCIDENT, they will AUTOMATICALLY blame it on Mayweather. For real. The only winning he can do with these guys is IN THE RING. They cried and complained when he left NOW that he is back and they can't stand it. This is his FIRST fight to setup a MEGA fight with Manny, but that isn't enough for these guys. He could have came back and had a tune up with a welter, but that wouldn't be enough either. I can ONLY imagine the excuses that will be made when he fights these guys that they are screaming for him to fight and he beats them.........

How? How does this prove anything... 0 proof of the ticket sales being bad yet... maybe he was injured, maybe not... for fuck sake your acting like he isn't allowed an injury. It was common knowledge that it would most likely be on the 19th, maybe he was injured and they thought they would do the best thing of a bad situation by putting it on the 19th if they can.
How does this scream being owned? Isn't Floyd allowed an injury? Is there any proof about 3000 tickets besides insider reports? Is there any proof he isn't injured?
Maybe it was faked, maybe not, maybe it was quite bad but they exaggerated it to put it to a better date nobody knows, until then whatever we say or think is just based on our own opinions and assumptions... meaning nobody has been "owned", once there is genuine proof that the injury was fake, and not just adding one and two things together... then it would be the case of Floyd being "owned".

Now that the fight has been rescheduled to the weekend after Mexican Independence Day (Sep 16), sales for the fight in increase at a faster rate thanks to Juan Manuel Marquez. LMAO, 3000 tickets, Floyd got owned.

i think the fight is more important than any date. It's still the same guys fighting so the draw is the same. Sept wont help or hurt.
The weekend around September 16th has always been a big boxing weekend. It's the reason Oscar always fought around the date; it's part of the reason Oscar is the biggest PPV star in the history of the sport, so it will definitely make a difference in revenue generated by the fight.
Agree on all points.
It's the type of thing that raises one's eyebrow, and postponing fights always pisses off fans ; but we really can't know unless he gets caught, or pulls out to make something else happen.
Like I told you, I hope the injury is legit.
So those ribs are already softened up for my boy Juan Manuel come fight night. :boxing:
It is possible that I would bet against Floyd under these circumstances. I do not think it would change the odds on JMM much, because you can the thought process on this board "Oh it is just a little rib injury that will not be a big deal".
I would have to watch the situation very close leading up to the fight to make that call though.
