I didn't plan on buying the fight anyway, I just don't see how I can justify spending 70$ for one fight. And its a fight thats not that good and will most likely end up being boring like the last several big boxing PPV's. but I noticed the buzz has been pretty pathetic for the fight. I'm hearing no buzz for this fight where I am. Anyone else notice this? I think the fight is going to be hurt by going head up with the huge Oklahoma/Florida State college football game on ABC. I may be wrong but I never seen so little buzz for a major event in a long time.
BTW, This isn't an attack on Floyd, I don't plan on buying the JMM/Pac fight either as I think its a joke to charge 65$ for that fight.
Here is why this fight is going to do huge numbers:
1. It's taking place over Mexican Independence day weekend.
2. Canelo Alvarez is on the card
3. Eric Moralez is on the card
4. Victor Ortiz is on the card
5. America loves to hate Floyd Mayweather.
The PPV will be fueled by Mexican Americans like most PPV cards are that don't have Tyson on them.
I agree. You can tell by the massive sales that "Action Heroes" PPV had, the massive sales of the fights on Mexican day 2010, and all of Canelo's million-plus PPV's.
I'm ordering, I dont wanna hear that crap.
Where were these threads and you guys being so against ordering PPV when Pacquiao was cherry picking the **** out of the WW divsion.
Hatton - clear mismatch for Pacquiao, fight should have never happened.
Clottey - ranked number 5, Pacquiao skipped number 2, 3, 4 ranked just to fight number 5.
Margarito - a suspended cheater comes back and gets a big payday for doing nothing, plus not ranked.
Mosley - the same guy that Pacquiao fans + Arum + Roach called old during his.Mayweather snd Mora fight, but was supposedley back in his prime.
So how in the hell can you have a problem with a Young Legit champion getting his shot???
Wait, what? Hatton was a mismatch?!?
Clottey #5 - Mosley #1 (signed for a fight) Pac #2, Floyd #3 (vacation), Cotto #4 (Pac just beat) so...yea, damn cherry picker.
Marg - **** fight that meant nothing but at least we got to see him get his ass beat
Mosley - same guy you just bashed on Pac for not fighting less than a year earlier.
I already feel the buzz. I'm happy Canelo is on the card so he can get some real good exposure. I'm also excited for the main event. If Ortiz doesn't pull a David Haye, then this is gonna be a hell of a fight.
It should be a good night for sure.

America love to hate on Floyd....
Not no more...Floyd already ask for their support. Remember the red, white, and blue.
ppl dont understand that regardless of the mayweather pacquiao soap opera boxing still moves on.. if you cant apreciate boxing then dont watch it godamn ! there def is buzz out here in nyc.
Exactly, boxing must continue either way.

For the love of God Jro please change that Avatar!!
who is that floozy?
^^
..
i too think the buzz for manny and mayweather has died down some
and what is bad for their fight is bad for the rest of boxing and their other fights
the world moves too fast these days. i'm not sure the fight is as "hip" as it used to be.
in boxing, though, and with boxing people and fans, i do believe this is a very big fight (mayweather and ortiz)
victor is a huge puncher with flaws in his boxing and questions left to be answered about his heart
and floyd is a great but aging boxer.
eventually, floyd will fall off, and i think he'll be forced to fight when that happens.
and it will probably happen overnight
it think that's the real intrigue here. the only intrigue.
'07 mayweather would potshot ortiz to bits and use his legs when he couldn't
