DLH boring fight againts Mayweather turn a lot of people away and that's What killed this fight!
thats another good reason why this fight sold less than the Mayweather-DLH fight, I mean that Boring "World Awaits" fight downgraded DLH's value a bit
1.25 million is a GREAT number!!
it is better than DLH-Mayweather and DLH-Tito!!
Considering the fact that:
1.) DLH has five losses ( a loss to PBF downgraded DLH's value a lil bit)
2.) Many Media outlets branded this fight as a JOKE, FARCE , & a MISMATCH (obviously it affected a lot of potential PPV buyers not to buy it)
3.) The ECONOMY is SHIT right now ( 500k lost their jobs in a span of 3mos)
CONCLUSION:
If not for this 3 reasons, especially reason no.2, this fight would have sold 3million buys!!
Hbo would make more money on PPV's if they didnt show the replay a week later, there are so many people who dont buy PPV's because they know they can watch for free the next week.
another great reason..HBO crew should make some good operational planning to force people to buy PPV, nevertheless 1.25M proved that Pacquiao is also a DRAW in terms of PPV numbers..remember, PAC-DLH surpassed the PPV numbers of DLH-Hop and DLH-Mosley, and all of them are American champs (Bhop, Mosley) and the peeps think its a good match-up (as compared to DLh-PAC in which the media branded as a FARCE match-up):usa:
Serious question, how would Pacquiao do against Kelly Pavlik? I mean Pavlik is slow right? Could Pacquiao box him to a decision?
Lets put Pavlik out of the RADAR. He's a Middleweight who fought a very good fight in light heavyweight ( though in a losing cause ).
Pac vs. Marg is feasible in a sense that both are in the same division plus MARG is only an INCH taller than DLH
Pac ain't a WW. DLH and 24/7 are gettin in people's heads if they believe Pac has a chance against any legit WW.
Are you a serious Boxing fan? Why focus on weight & not on a boxer's skill?
people have a deathwish for pac or something.
Margo is not INVINCIBLE. PAC is!!
TJ Tornado is too SLOW for Pac..MARG's punches ain't gona land on Pac's Face. PLUS, Pacquiao's bunch of body punch will wear out marg's gas tank.
now i know you're retarded..wtf did pavlik do good in that fight??
I said "IN A LOSING CAUSE" .
He fought a good fight! considering the fact that he moved up in weight and lost only by way of a lopsided UD against a VERY GOOD, LIVING LEGEND fighter ( BHOP )!
Now, Y compare Margo to Pavlik? common sense tells me that the latter is way bigger than the former?
definitely not, i love pac but marg is just too big... DLH is already pretty big compared to pac, and marg makes DLH look small. the only way pac would win is to run the whole fight, and it would be impossible for pac to ever knock him down. the dlh-pac fight isnt about pac dominating at 147, its almost an exhibition fight between the sports two most popular fighters. also it isnt a stretch to see pac knocking de la hoya down, but to imagine pac knocking margarito down is very hard.
also oscar is not a higher class fighter than marg, marg would have de la hoya begging for the canvas.
edit - maybe prime oscar MAY could attempt to do something with marg, but thats a stretch, considering vargas was having his way with oscar before he got tired. margarito could go 3x as long as DLH and thats a fact.
I'm not looking for a BIG PACQUIAO KO win.. I'm only predicting a Pacman superior display of his underrated BOXING skills..he'll box his way to victory ala Barrera vs. Hamed
man you can't be serious!!!!margo would end pacmans career seriously
If Pac can beat DLH, Y cant Pacquiao do the same thing with a class B fighter Margarito?
What I mean is DLH is Class B+ while Margo a Class B fighter.
This is ****in retarded. No way Pac beats DLH. Even if he did, no way he'd fight Marg, as Marg would obviously kill him.
if PAC fights Cotto, who'd win?
:spankme:
margo is an active fighter not a promoter/part-time fighter
so what if DLH's a promoter? his skill set is still there, everyone can be a promoter but only a few can have the SKILLS DLH possesses. He ain't a six division CHAMP for nothing
I hope you're joking.
Man im dead SERIOUS. Pac is a four division champ. What I mean is, Pac is USED to fighting guys at lower weight. AND WE ALL KNOW, as boxing fans that, those in lower weight classes are as quick as FOX in footwork and like Gatling guns in their punches ( 6-8 punch combos in one snap).
Pac fighting MARG is like giving Pacquiao an ADVANTAGE. Pac seeing Marg's punces in SLOW MOTION.
Just watch what Pac did to a very slow Diaz. And watch how slow Marg is in throwing punches to Cotto.
funniest thread i've read in awhille .... people make fun of delusional floyd fan boys but nothing beats a pachugger!
Im a true Boxing fan. And i assess fighters capabilities. Although Pac got KOed by Medgoen with a body shot, Rustico's lunging chin-chest blow, got KD by Nedal Hussein, doesnt mean Pac cant develop a good chin..
Roach was like the PREMIER GATEKEEPER during his time..very good Chin, so durable, and damn aggressive..no doubt he gave Camacho fits..
Roach 12SD Mayweather Sr.
What if he fought him at 160?
It's people like Maranao that brings this forum down.
Its people like you who shits in front of their mama:ugh1:
I mean, be realistic man, at 152, Pacquiao would devour a dehydrated Pavlik:ugh1:
Carlos is slow and has no power, he does however have a chin. Pac by an easy Ud.
Does this mean, Gatti has some weakling GLASS jaw? Baldomir KTFO Gatti remember
Well manny can beat klitschko at a catchweight of 170 to. He can beat anyone who is weight drained
u r very right mate. He'll beat ANYONE including YOU:owned2: LOL
He fought last year to a NC, I think he was trying a mini-comeback or something, don't know what's going on with him now though.
I used to enjoy, lots of his fights, including his scrap with the dangerous pauli Ayala. I remember , Clarence calling out, the then IBF 122 Ibs champ Pacman.
What if he fought him at 160?
Well at 160? PAcman has a chance definitely coz he's the P4P champ. He'll have a 0.00000002% chance actually. But hey, he might check Pavlik with his VAUNTED LEFT:ugh1:
