Front page, top story. GO BOXING! Usually boxing only makes top story after a huge PPV fight (showing the results), but only for a few hours on a Saturday night-- it's usually relegated to 5th story status or disappears completely by midday Sunday.
A lot of people who forgot about the fight or that it was this weekend will be reminded. I think this will help the numbers a little bit.

Mayweather vs Mosley did 1.4 million.
When you compare Mayweathers older fights to Pacquiaos fight his always outsells Manny by a large number.
Hatton vs Mayweather does 1.5 million
Hatton vs Pacquiao does 850,000 to 1M Million range
Mayweather vs Delahoya does 2.15 million
Pacquaio vs Delahoya does 1.25 million.
And so on and thats not even including the Marquez vs Mayweather fight that did a extra 700,000 than Pacquiao vs Marquez 1&2.
So maybe it will be close this time.
floyd vs hatton 1.5 mill???
ok.
i say it does 1.35 mill
Mayweather vs Mosley did 1.4 million.

This fight is doing great in publicity, Arum paid of enough people to ensure it.
Question is, can Pacquiao finally outsell any Mayweather fight?
He didn't when he fought Oscar, Hatton, or Marquez, so will Mosley do any better?
it will be close.
when will we find out how many ppv's manny/shane sold?

Pacquiao is the top boxer in the world today, no if ands or buts.
Some people tear down Pacquiao for fighting Mosley, and that's their opinion.
Another fact is that Pacquiao's days in boxing are numbered. And when Pacquiao retires, those same people who rip on him are going to wish there were a few more fighters like him coming down the pipe because the boxing landscape is going o be a lot more barren.
No doubt,
but I think Pac did good for the sport,
more casual fans come to watch boxing and see the beautiful sport.
I'm sure many casuals become regulars. It's a cycle although we will never see
another Pac we will definitely see another great come up.
If you watch the video, the guy says "mosley wants to be the first to KO Manny Pac". Pac gave a little smile when he said it
that sadistic evil grin. what people has failed to see is pac has a solid chin. he got KOd when he was a malnourished kid from a body shot.

I remember when Floyd was interviewed on ESPN and the interviewer said that Manny was undefeated.

my 45 year old white coworker asked me about it today, weird cuz he never really watches boxing, or that much sports. He thinks mosley is gonna give manny hell
ya I thought the same thing and I have a good feeling this fight is going to do some big numbers I have heard a good amount of people talking about the Pacquiao fight at work and school.
