4 Hours before the event and it is not even one of the top stories on Google News. You probably don't even know what I'm talking about since no one is even remotely interested in it.

The thinking for picking Berto is that he may take over welterweight when Floyd retires. It is possible but he hasnt really proved himself at this point in time for a Mayweather fight
Update...sad for Floyd...Pacquiao was the draw...in the absence of Pacquiao, it was the Mexican undercard/holiday (along with the false promise of action) that was the real draw...

I thought i came across an article saying it was doing good numbers and should put up Maidana-Mayweather numbers.
I have heard the exact opposite, there is no hype even on this forum, I am slightly interested in the undercard myself.
if this fight do 400k ill be amazed this fight has absolutely no buzz whatsoever berto has no fan base i don't even remember who he fought last. this is a bad business move showtime should have put a stop to it.
mayweather isn't a great draw without the pacquiao story or a latin opponent. That's the sad reality.
Don't get me wrong, it will still do better numbers than your average PPV, after all May is the biggest name among boxing fans but the casual don't give a ****. Most of my casual sports fan friends think the pacquiao fight WAS his retirement fight. When I told them Mayweather is still fighting, they were shocked.
Even the IV stuff that a lot of people hoped would be a big story, even that has died :lol1:
Mayweather vs Pacquiao already happened, really nothing left to see from Pacquiao or Mayweather
It will still do decent numbers or at least showtime will say it did.
