First fight: tim bradley vs j. M. Marquez
Second fight: saul alvarez vs j. c. chavez jr
Main event: floyd mayweather vs manny pacquiao
All of these fighters are promoted by top rank an gbp and theyre available to fight on may 5th, so why wont bob arum make this happen?
Just my opinion
basically all I was trying to say when I started this thread is that in my "opinion" with the card I made up may vs pac would sell 3 million.... Now maybe im wrong but I doubt( charles barkley voice)
you're starting to lose your point
1. global demand does not drive PPV sales
2. "even though were in a recession look at the stores on black friday or the after christmas sell, and look at all the people who slept outside"
you forget people go to BF for the hugely discounted pricing not because of the demand.
you're lost guy I know it's nice to daydream about things like this but if you really think a card like this could be done you're lost in the daydreaming
My point with black friday n the iphone was that people will spend their money on a product even if we are in a recession and the economy is bad. When everybody around the world is waiting & willing to spend their money on a product that product will become a highly demanded product & as soon as that product becomes available it will sell huge like the iphone did. The "product" in this case is may vs pac & if it were for sale on may 5th it would do big numbers because eveyone around the globe is willing to buy it. However, the exp. date on the fight is may 5 so if arum waits anytime after that it would do bad because people would lose interest and that would bring the demand down...
I tried to use the iphone for an example but maybe its a stretch...
TR vs GBP. I take:
1st televised fight - Juanma Lopez vs Gary Russell Jr
2nd televised fight - Brandom Rios vs Marcos Maidana
3rd - Miguel Cotto vs Saul Alvarez
Pac vs Floyd.
Like MLK, he had a dream and we all have ours.
This is THE ONE lol, we need more TR vs. GBP cards.
Im telling you guys where theres a demand someone will supply...low demand = low sells, high demand = high sells & theres a global demand for this fight, if they put the card I suggested with maybe one more tv fight like j. Lopez vs g.russell jr. with the main event may vs pac it will sell like hot cakes.... 3 million buys easy

Remember bro we live in america & our country runs on one thing...supply & demand or buy & sell.... even though were in a recession look at the stores on black friday or the after christmas sell, and look at all the people who slept outside just to get an iphone 4... Im telling you bro Where theres a demand someone will supply and theres a global demand for may-pac you throw in a stacked undercard like that and the sells will go through the roof
There's not even that much supply and demand on this fight anymore. With an undercard like that I can maybe see it but a lot of people lost interest in the fight(I'm on of them)
Well if oscar vs floyd can do 2.4 mill I have a hard time believing this fight wont surpass that especially knowing that this fight is in more of a demand than that was
at 50 a pop
huge difference that's getting lost on you
and no I wouldn't go that far DLH vs Mayweather was THEE fight to see be seen at and watch. Just become the outcome was less than stellar still doesn't take away from it being in huge demand

do you have the slightest idea how much money that would cost?

yeah man most def people would pitch in. At least I know in my clan they would. It wouldn't make sense that the people that usually come over and split it with me. For each of them to buy it also. That would mean they would be watching it alone
That fight wasn't 100 bucks bro
Plus look at the economy now and that means they would still need almost 600 thousand more willing to pay 100 dollars for the fight rather than bonding together
The economy was bad then too, it was so bad that I got out of real estate... The ppv's were higher then when I first start paying for them and I still paid for the oscar vs floyd fight and they had a horrible undercard
thats a really great point. i totally agree that people would be banding together more than usual with that price and the total buys would probably be about the same. and i'm sure a fight like that would be shown at more bars than the average ppv

For 3 million buys bro that would be hard to get man. Instead of throwing a huge watch party people have to buy it themselves and get it up to 3 million. What would you rather. That would mean that the people you usually throw the gathering with would also have to buy it And in this economy they will not just buy a 100 dollar card for themselves. They would rather go to a party and pitch in for the bout thus making it less buys IMO

Who the hell wants to see Bradley vs Marquez?
Your favorite fighter is Bernard Hopkins, I think that pretty much rules you out for deciding what fights people want to see.
Would any of those fighters settle on being on the undercard for a PPV besides Bradley? He was never really a main even fighter anyways. PPV fighter not even.
I cant see why any of those fighters would have a problem being on this card as a non headliner...bradley n canelo fight on undercards anyway, chavez needs the exposure, and marquez would show up for the pay day....throw in another prospect like gary russell jr and you have a tough card
