I hear you man. Good post. Just think? After this fight. What next???
I'm not really sure. I will continue to watch boxing and follow the sport but i dont think it will be in depth like this. Always reading articles checking for the latest news etc. Once the hype and the fight is over the ride is done basically as far as a big mega fight on this level.
I think no matter what, the fight is too big and there is too much time, this time around. It will get done. Pac-Floyd. I think both guys saw there last fight do good numbers but I dont think it was what either had hoped for and thats because the public wants this fight the most. They know that if they fight someone else, then the numbers may drop some again. They have to take this fight. Both guys are confident right now and I think they will come to an agreement out the bule
I agree. Hope the fight gets made!
PPv numbers for the Mayweather vs Mosely garnered 1.4million. 2 americans in their homeland. While Pacman who is a foreigner who fought cotto (a foreigner as well) who is just as popular as mosely got 1.3 million ppv.
So I would say based on popularity their both equals knowing pac cotto are both foreigners and getting those huge numbers.
Mayweather keeps on saying it was him not Delahoya who made the 2.4 million record for ppv now we know it was really DELAHOYA who had all the fans- 2.4million.
Note: Mosely owns the gate for number of attendance in the staple center. It shows how big a draw he is.
Plus, don't forget that there are "no" 24/7 and huge marketing, commercials for the Pacquiao Clottey fight.
24/7 and commercials where done only for the Mayweather, Mosely and Pacquiao Cotto fight.
And Mosely has been in more PPV fights than Cotto
So who really is the bigger draw? Or are they equal?
First off let me say we talking bout "Manny Pacquiao" he might not be from the states, but he carries a house hold name just like Cotto or tito.
Pac vs Cotto did 1.2 (correction)
Pac vs Marquez 1 & 2 didnt even do nothing but a few 100k combined
Pac vs Oscar did about 900k
Pac vs Hatton didnt even touch a million buys
Pac vs Clottey did 700k and that fight was HYPED UP...the didnt have 24/7 but they had "Road To Dallas"..and a "Face Off"
Floyd on the other had was retired 2 years and broke a million fighting Marquez.
Floyd vs Oscar holds the record for most buys breaking tyson vs evander II duying 2.42 buys
Floyd vs Hatton broke a million easy & hatton had only fought twice on US soil.
Floyd vs Mosley did 1.4 ( Dont forget everyone said Mosley was old and washed up & he still sold the fight by himself)!
Floyd the fighter with the most drawing power. He is always in the equation when theres a big fight so you have to say floyd.
i didnt watch,But all they did was hug the whole fight?And the fans
like that?Or did they boo?L
The fans were booing...I justin.tv the fight. It was the worst fight i've ever seen in my life. It'll be floating around youtube in a few days. Check it out and see for yourself. The was hugging the whole time.
are you sure about that?.........demanding special rules other than the commision rules is a sign of not wanting to fight in a perfect boxing world...........lol
Floyd has always wanted this fight. He said the only thing that would bring him out of retirement was a huge money fight. Manny was the target and everyone knows. He announced his come back on the night of a manny fight, fighting the man that beat manny. It was his whole mission to get Manny in that ring. And the whole blood testing issue has NOTHING to do with the commission. The commission can still do their jobs NO ONE is saying they cant. But what floyd puts in his contract has nothing to do with the commission, Manny either agrees or dissagrees. If you know anything about business and contracts you wouldnt say crazy things. Just like Manny wanted 10 million for every pound over. It sounds ridiculous but if thats what he wanted it the contract then so be it. Floyd didnt have to agree but he did.
Lets just hope this fight happens..I'm ready for floyd to silence the world again.
You guys need to stop being ignorant.
Boxing is boxing. MMA is MMA.
Nothing is taking over anything. People will pay to see a fight, period. So quit acting childish. If you don't like MMA don't watch it.
Quit acting childish?? Seems this thread has struck your nerves? I dont know what planet you living on but EARTH TO YOU ET. We all know boxing is boxing and MMA is MMA "thats stating the obvious". BUt these sports are in competition & have had events (PPV) on the same nights to see who gets the most buys. So if you feel that there is no comp between the too keep thinking...if you can do that...
Floyd: “I’m taking a couple of years off away from the sport of boxing. I don’t know what the future holds for Mayweather this time particular time but I’ll probably take a couple of years off. Like I said before, I’m going to take a couple of years off. Our main focus now is the Floyd Mayweather Jr. foundation. It’s about giving back.”
Pacquiao: "I'll agree to the 14 days so he (Mayweather) will no longer have a reason (not to fight)," Pacquiao said. "Let's see if that is really the reason
Pacman could've done that the first time and saved us the heartache!!
ALLERT, ALLERT!!! IanCharlez is Flyod Mayweather!!! He is crying as usual as he is typing post above. LOL
lmao...that was kind of funny. But you have to admit. Everyone is always wondering who floyd fights next. No matter who he beats the question is "whos next"...people love to see the sweet science..
Post one single shred of evidence that Cotto is shot. I dare you. 2 losses and you're completely shot?
Give me a break.
He's getting older and doesn't fight like when he was young. So what. He knocked out a guy who ran the whole night and didn't want to get knocked out, that's an accomplishment.
What do you mean post evidence that Cotto is shot?? Did you see how Cotto fought before he fought Margarito? He was a "walk you down" type fighter. he walked all his opponents down and took everything from them. Cotto vs Margarito, cotto became the guy who was walked down. THat did something to him mentally and physically damaged him. Cotto vs Clottey again cotto gave in to a much lesser opponent being walked down again. Then he turned around to face Pac and was walked down again. Pac snatched cottos heart, will, and soul on hbo. Cotto took a 12 round beating that shoul've been stopped in the 8 th round. Cotto vs Foreman was a confidence builder for cotto and frankly it wasnt good enough. No matter how much confidence cotto gets a lil pressure and will from his opponent will send him back peddling and giving in to the assult.
Cotto is a good fighter and gave us great fights. His time has come you have to accept that.
yeah everyone that follows boxing knows that floyd deserves a bigger split. Just wait and we'll see what happens. If manny wants to fight he knows what he has to do...Pac fans will get mad at the truth!
roach is the only one who spits the real shit, mayweather was rocked in the 2nd round and if pacman hurts him like that he wont let mayweather escape
Stupid logic...so because Pac has been ko twice due to body shots..If Floyd hits him to the body then he's gonna get ko??
Shane caught with a good punch but was it enough to win??
