Its great that Pac is selling his fights inside of the ring. His PPV numbers are INCREASING with every fight he is making. People are sold that his fights will be action packed. THAT, people wont get tired of. They want to see more of his fights because they know they'll get their money's worth and thats what PPV is all about. Providing the entertainment you promise. This is great for the sport. Setting the customer's expectations and then exceeding them.
I wouldn't necessarily say he's "selling" the sport, but more like he's doing his duty as an ambassador of the sport by performing to the best of his abilities.
Now if he were to really sell the sport, he would be on more media outlets promoting his fights conducting various interviews throughout the country
and generating more viewers.
I'd say if he had a more charismatic personality and was more media friendly he would likely surpass Floyd in drawing power because his fights have been more exciting to date.
I think when promotion starts for his fight with Floyd he'll step it up a notch to help sell the fight. But that's just my guess.
Thats odd....
Because if I recall correctly he didnt say one BAD word in the hype and build up to Marquez...Floyd was all class and smiles.
And over a million people still paid $60 dollars to see him fight a fighter whos never headlined a PPV.
Nice try though.
You're not really that naive. You can't be.
Contrary to what you want to believe there are ALOT of people who still appreciate the sweet science.
Mayweather headlines bouts because hes the best at what he does.
yeah, they're called hardcore fans. Casual fans buy his fights because he talks a big game outside of the ring. They dont buy his fights because of his fight style.
its good for the sport when mayweather and pac fights are promoted on every media outlet known to man..thast big for the sport.
If you dont like floyds style...dont watch the ppv.
Hes been fighting for 13 years...you know what floyd brings to the table.
He just did over a million buys 3 fights str8.
Someone is watching his fights.
Boxing is hit and not get hit..no one does it bette then floyd.
Floyd likes to box....manny likes to fight.
Theyre both fukking winners.
Period.
seriously, there are too many people complaining about boxer/punchers doing a lil too much boxing in the ring. Yet, when mma fans come in here talking shit about the sport, you guys want to talk about "the sweet science" and how much more technical our sport is? Fukk-out-of-here.
We need fighters like dawson, mayweather, martinez etc. Without fighters like them, our sport would be mma without ground work. I agree that some fights shouldnt be advertised as dramatic barn burners and that does hurt the sport. But if you can actually sit there and tell me you would stand in one spot and trade punches with a seriously dangerous opponent for 12 rounds, then go nuts talkin shit about what makes our sport different.
but.........
the error in this is that from a business and entertaining standpoint, fights with pure boxers should never be billed as the headlining bouts. I agree with that. But to criticize a fighter for trying to ensure a w is ridiculous.
please, no matter how hard you son Burner, he'll still come out with BS. Its no use debating with him. Floyd does no wrong in his eyes.
Anyway, speaking of promoters, how hard did Don King fall off? Does he even make money anymore?
I don't know, Most don't want to get involved with him and he has gotten lazy.
He has Elio Rojas who Izzy seems interested in facing. Paulus Moses who might face MAB a waste :pat:, Spinks, Santos. Not bad but most of these fighters ain't doing anything big.
My post was B.S.???
yes and no matter how many times I punch a whole in your logic, you'll take shit out of context. the funny thing is, I made a whole thread pretty declaring what you did in your post, but there's a difference that applies for certain situation. Its no use explaining to you
You got check hooked!

ok burner.....
you guys need to realize that PPV is not like a regular fight. At this point, both sides will try to sell an ACTION PACKED EPIC.
And sometimes, its just a con. Fighters step in the ring and do the opposite. That shit hurts the sport. It turns away people from the sport.
not a bad job to have. money for nothing. but also, will definitely not see the gates of heaven. Arum used to be a lawyer too no?
He worked for the US Attorneys Office for the southern district of New York, in the Tax division.
Everybody doesnt fight like Arturo Gatti 2501...shame on you.
When you're promoting a fight saying that you will and don't, how is that good for the sport?
yeah, at this point, Pac doesn't need Arum. But it wouldn't be worth buying out his contract since he wont be fighting for too long

Says a chad dawson fan.... L.M.F.A.O
I've already said that Chad shouldnt headline a bout when he's going to fight cautious. You guys are too easy to handle.

Pacquiao is pretty much handing Arum free money.
