Fox interview HBO's Mark Taffet and Richard Schaefer (video) jmm vs. pbf

let's hope that the 2 fighters lay it all on the line and put on a great show. it would be a great boost for our sport.

its more than obvious that this "interest" in this fight isn't generated by the "hype" of the fight, but rather by the tireless promotion and marketing GB and Mayweather Promotions is engaging upon because of the lack of general interest in the event itself. This is not me being a "hater" as you love to call anyone who doesn't agree with you about Floyd, its me having common sense and reading between the lines. All the signes are there, a stacked card, a rescheduling of the fight to 2 months later, relentless marketing and deals with sponsors. 2+2 = _____ I hope the fight sells good. But lets not kid ourselves, they're doing all this for a reason. Seems to me like Mayweather/ Marquez is gonna do alot better then expected. :dunce:

GBP and HBO are trying really really really hard to sell this fight. they must think that they are gonna lose money on this ppv.

Good interview. You can see they're hinting at the winner of both fights could indeed be facing one another. I also liked that GBP are trying to put Boxing back on Network TV. That would be huge for Boxing.

I like what was talked about there and how Richard Schaefer talked about bringing Boxing back on network Television.

Reporters are whores. If it was Dana White and Mark Cuban sitting there, she would be a huge MMA fan. Nice. Stay Classy

they also touched on the ufc but glad they didnt go into it too much lol boxing is going to win that day :boxing:

great discussion. nice to see our representatives on big networks discussing our sports future too. One thing I've noticed is when Mayweather vs. Marquez gets air time that they can't help but discuss Cotto vs. Pacquiao.

for people who say Mayweather isnt s draw, his bout with De La Hoya earned 70+ million dollars in revenue than the Pac-DLH bout look@ 4:47 of that video De La Hoya was a more marketable fighter pre-Mayweather then after. If he would've fought Pacquiao first instead of Mayweather it would've prob been the same.

for people who say Mayweather isnt s draw, his bout with De La Hoya earned 70+ million dollars in revenue than the Pac-DLH bout look@ 4:47 of that video Lets keep in mind that the Mayweather/ODLH fight also turned off a lot of the new viewers who had tuned in to see what all the hype was about. If they would have given the fans more than a glorified and choreographed sparring session more fans would have returned. I'm just sayin....

Thanks for posting the interview. Good stuff and very interesting.
