Numbers
Usually some people in the tv network industry leaks something that points you in what direction the PPV fights are going towards.. Dana is just trying to stay positive..
My guess is that the fight didn't so well, so there will be a bunch of people swearing and saying it did something.. but showtime will not disclose numbers because it will show exactly what a disappointment this was.
Get ready for September 16th!! Real boxing fan's fight!
Based on the sheer number of everyday people talking about it , I would be surprised if this thing didn't shatter the record. My girl owns a spa with an all female staff. She knows I watch boxing, 3 or 4 weeks ago apparently the girls at the spa were talking about Mayweather-McGregor. When you have groups of girls talking amongst themselves (masseuses, makeup artists, hair stylists, etc) I could just tell this thing was going to be huge.
The thing is that housewives and girlie girls don't typically pay for it.. I was on the other end of the spectrum, coming from a huge family, with lots of friends and everyone into boxing. We could care less about it, didn't even watch it, someone streamed it, but even he was watching it with a just couple friends.
80% of my people were not interested, but could be just because we're hispanics and waiting for the GGG fight.
That has nothing to do with cutting off the ring.
You can either execute it well or you can't.
I agree with Pac's ability to cut the ring off is not superb... I think he thinks speed will get him to connect eventually.. only thing that with mayweather, you have to have position in order to be any kind of effective.. which I think footwork will get him on the inside.. just not enough.. MOVE SIDEWAYS PAC!!!!
It would be something (even though nothing near same athletes) if pac could dance with a dancer.. kind of Cotto eliminating Yuri's footwork with his... AWESOME!
good luck to both!
Lol
All roads to ***weather go thru Mcgregor tho!
why is mcgregor getting a floyd fight???
shouldnt it be nate diaz?
i feel sorry for any human that would actually pay money to see this. You guys are getting played by two frauds.
Mayweather was not a "nobody" at that time and certainly a much bigger name than Margarito.
how was he a somebody... didnt he just beat a washed up judah, who should of not even been a champion at WW.. and antonio was the reigning WBO champion.. how many ppvs had mayweather headlined? how did he do? you probably didnt know him back then.. you're just on the wagon for the moment..
laughing matter..
there's no way canelo is placed infront of this beast.. and there's no way mayrunner accepts this challenge.. he's too mucho of a risk to lose his precious 0.. i think a rematch with little chavez (big).. is probably his only realistic chance at making some serious $$.. cotto dont want none of this.. and ward is too big.. other option would be Margarita coming out of retirement.. lol.. or winner of pac/marquez.. lol.. ok.. maybe el perro angulo.. ha ha.. no seriously.. i cant think of anyone who's willing to step into the squared circle after what he did to someone who probably out weighed him by 10+ lbs.. we'll see..
i just see how arum saved face with chavez's 12th rnd.. and gbp does not want to lose their only real moneymaker.. besides money..
Which Floyd are we talking about?
A lot of you didn't start watching boxing or Floyd before the Hoya fight. You expect a 38 year old fighter to fight like he did in his 20s. It's completely unrealistic.
You hate him so much, yet you're in every thread that pertains to him and you watch/buy all of his fights.
I can only imagine the ridiculous things that would be said if Sweet Pea were in this era of boxing.
Hopkins doe!
Pac is a self centered greed machine and until further notice he's a roid user. Floyd through all his talk is providing fighters the opportunity to make their biggest pay days. Too bad PBF/Pac wont happen cause if it did it would settle all this BS once and for all. Pac is a hype machine. Props to him for doing what he has to do but his opponents are a very carefully selected. Only a lowly hater can be mad at Floyd for what he is doing taking on the #2 P4P in his first fight back then Sugar Shane in his 2nd.
so like i mentioned.. ivan calderon is on the p4p list, you'd give him credit if he beat him?? or izzy vasquez?
fight people with a chance to win.. i love marquez and he's one of my fav fighters.. but i gave him no chance to win the fight vs mayrunner.. like i said to another dude in here.. not hard to look good vs a jr lightweight in a welterweight fight..
2009-2013 flomos: man manny needs to call floyd out and stop hiding behind arum. manny needs to speak whats on his mind. be a man manny and call floyd out directly!!!
2014 flomos: gosh look at manny, he's so desperate begging floyd like that is not gonna get u a fight with him.
^^^ this right here!!! :fing02:
you! my friend! have too much reason!! red K!! ha ha..
war..
flomo's vs pactards...
arum vs gbp
he said vs she said..
funny thing is that mayweather dont give a **** about his fans.. and is so scared to lose his 0 that he goes on and beats a women to increase his record to "unofficially" 42 - 0.. talk about a new way of avoiding pac man.. "hey maybe if i beat my ex over a $200 iphone i'll go to jail and i wont have to fight that little fillipino"- Mayweather.. it's all a bunch of crap.. everyone on flomo's side is worried about a fighter who's been on record saying he dont care what the fans say or want, and is not even an active fighter using taxes as one of the plenty excuses he's giving for not fighting.. taking more vacations than ex-president bush.. dude is nothing but a bonified soap popper actor.. maybe he should stick to wwe, i'm tired of him promising a show and delivering a glorified sparring session. I do think he's skilled and i do think he's gifted but i dont think he's got the heart to face beasts like margie, cotto, or even paulie.. maybe martinez.. and i'm not saying he'd lose to them before the flomos come on here and try and label me as a pactard.. TRUTH as much as it hurts flomomanina.. is that their boy is scared.. and is running out of excuses not to make the fight.
Now to the other side of the spectrum, pactards are on and on about how floyd's scared.. but their boy wont take a little needle to draw a little blood to send to the labs... i guess the sharpness of the needle is more horific than a dude that outweighs you by 17 lbs.. or is it cause they dont feel like mayweather should dictate terms and conditions.. regardless pactards are overhyping flomo's negligence to fight, without seeing that their boy is just as much to blame for fight falling apart.. and now it looks like he's taking on mosley (who looked completely shot in his last fight) thinking this is going to keep his fans happy, which i think it will.. at least he's fighting men.. TRUTH is there's something weird with them denying ODST.. if you have nothing to hide.. take the dam test.. and move on to monetary settlement.. which at this point is got to be 50/50.. maybe 53/47 for the pactard.. just cause he's been more active.. and has provided nothing but bloodbaths and excitement.. not a whole lot of of acting and promising on 24/7 and delivering a very boring 12 UD.. lol..
I say put pacman and money in one room, let them talk to each other and settle their own negotiations.. a congressmen vs a criminal (not yet) i like that.. and then when the fight is done they should label it "judgement day".. and nothing is solved lock them in there and make it clear that 2 people will not walk out.. lol.. ol school style..
As for me a casual boxing fan i would love this fight.. for 2 reasons.. i want pactard to lose, cause she's demolished all of my proud mexican warriors.. and 2 i want flomo to lose cause i'm tired of this dude making money off of hard working people who deserve the best facing the best.. not hand picking opponents and demanding a type of compensation that does nto meet the risk..
With all this said, i dont care for this fight.. it's never gonna happen too many big egos involved, so i'm just looking forward to bradley/alexander, maidana/khan.. hope that boxing creates some more super stars without arum as the promoter.. or gbp.. greed is what's messing up this sport.. so i think boxing should impose some kind of monetary system.. like for example.. champs get paid so much regardless.. and #1 contenders so much and #2 so much.. that way if you want to get paid you have to climb the ladder.. and not chose from a 40some yr washed up boxer with little bit of fanbase.. that way you dont have non title holders making more money than fighters who have busted their ass to get to the top.. and that way champs dont get put aside cause they dont have fans.. Just my opinion.. aslo boxing has to due away with all these bs belts.. silver, diamond, interim, continental, latino.. bs!!!
nonsence
this is just a desperate move by the mayweather camp to start coming up with excuses just in case he does lose... i dont se why so demanding on these test now? i mean he's fought bigger, stronger, better (according to him) fighters.. what's wrong with fighting a little phillipine which he himself called an easy fight.. i mean i side with pac on this one.. dont get tested.. if they want... after the fight is fine... i just think that if he's on something.. it would come out after the fight as well.. i think money is just trying to sell the fight and get some more leverage for the negotiations.. just a bitch if you ask me..
You can't put everybody away.
You're going to look like a fool if Thurman ko's Guerrero.
Why? Thurman supposedly has power... So he's got a puncher's chance! right?
While I agree with "you can't put everybody away"... I don't think you should outbox overmatched opposition.. just cause he "faints" a ton.. ADJUST and overwhelm them!!
How is the fight going to get done? Floyd fights on Showtime and PAC fights on HBO. Do you really expect Floyd to somehow get out if the best contract in sports history just to fight PAC?
you do know that HBO/SHOWTIME have co-promoted events before? this would be a win win for both.. HBO helps showtime with some of that purse, promotional fees and ect... they both promote the hell out of it.. and all is left is revenue split.. which at this point everyone would agree 70/30 in Floyd's is about fair..
Ward is in no mans land.......he can't draw big crowds like triple ggg......he only fights out of Oakland .....and he can't even get down to 168 and that means he is fair game for kovalev and the light heavys......what makes me laugh is ward is asking for golovkin to move up 10 pounds and face him and yet he is not man enough to face a 175 fighter in kovalev.........164-164 is fair...golovkin weighed 158 his last fight so he will jumping up 6 pounds so ward can jump down 6 pounds as well.......ward brings nothing to the table except his boring style
I'd be careful with what you say.. the *****'s are always out in full force when you talk "boxing" styles.. cause it's "boxing doe"..
I said it all along after Wilder's win over Stiverne that Papi Haymon just got his hands on the 1st American heavyweight champ in god knows how long, and he's gonna milk this cow for everything it's got.. I expect bum after bum until klitchko's retire..
That doesn't mean that Floyd lost. That's just Sr wanting Jr to knock Manny out because he didn't want the fight to be in the judges hands, he wanted there to be no doubt that Floyd won. Of course you're going to be hard on your fighter, who wouldn't? Especially in a fight of that magnitude, you would be an idiot to not push your fighter to do better.
^^^^ please!!! you can't be that pathetic..:bottle::bottle:
After watching Canelo's media day workout today I have to really question his work ethic. Too many breaks between reps, very stiff, slow almost lazy like with all the talking even appeared to fatigue a little. I know it's just media day but show something, this is the biggest fight of your life! You can tell there's been no real changes and it will be the same ole Canelo fighting in spurts again. He loses a clear decision imo. Floyd's media day is tomorrow btw.
I agree with most of what you said.. that's why I don't have high hopes for this to be anything exciting... to be honest i'm looking forward to Garcia/Mathyssee more.. just that Mayweather is the same, hardly ever breaks a sweat, with this pop and move, straight rights and turn fighting style.. boring UD in my opinion to casual fans.. real fans will praise him for his boxing ability.. I as a real boxing fan will give him credit.. but not praise.. canelo NEED head movemen and FOOTWORK to stand a chance.. but we'll see..
you mean, when cotto was getting knocked out at WW, or getting dropped and rocked at 140?
cotto has never had a great chin. it's not glass, but it is not great. it's vulnerable. miguel cotto can be hurt and made to back up / cower. i'm not sure how long you've been watching boxing, frankly.
canelo is a markedly larger man, has fought markedly larger men, and has taken what they've had to offer.
he got stopped by margacheato, real hands of stone... and paquiao 1000x's better than Jose Cotto.. remember that little LW that almost KO'D canelita?
please dude.. you're reaching.. Corley is better than anyone not named mayweather that canelo has faced..
If yall thought Floyd was gonna give him the same chances like last time, I guess it's safe to say many of you are gullible....anyone with common sense knew Floyd was gonna shut him down with more movement and tactical clinching...that's one way a pure boxer beats a brawler
Tactical clinching?!? Wonder if you were part of the same crew who called Alexander's hugfest boring and excessive! Not even a warning and mayweather was blatantly holding! But that's boxing doe!!
lol..
it's gonna be very interesting to see what showtime does after another flop.. before I get attacked by the Flo's.. flop in regards that it's a fact Showtime needs 1.1 buys to break even and we all now he's flopped in the guerrero and maidana fights.. even though the maidana fight had kahn and broner and Thurman and still did 850k.. wonder why the tards haven't called out the flo's on that.. Manny did 850k with timmy with zero undercard.. ha ha!! oops..
I just hope the main even is just as entertaining as the 1st one.. buck flo.. Maidana is P4P #1 action fighter.. never a dull fight (other than alexander).. soto karas, morales, josesito, mayweather, broner, Victoria.. all action/good fights..
You clearly have this weird hate for Broner, relax dude, if the fight happens, watch it. Sheesh. You're a grown man.
yes indeed... i'll watch another hype job get a gift decision.. a la ponce de leon! I don't hate broner.. just don't like how some people are quick to judge.. so I'll judge in another more reasonable way..
nice..
i'm tired of the same song and dance.. change it up a little can only help both these guys.... bradley has a gift win vs pac.. marquez has a ko win vs pac.. they both come to please the crowd.. bradley made some noise with his fight of the year candidate win vs provotnikof... or whatever his name is.. marquez made a lot of noise with that ko win.. if they put it on PPV i'd buy it.. as a matter of fact i'm going to attend.. this might be lest money for the fight.. but if it does good PPV numbers.. i'm sure marquez's check might not be far off his guaranteed 6 for pac with minimal or no ppv share..
either way i like!!
JMM is not better at 40 than he was at 38. JMM looked crappy at welter because he was fighting Floyd. He looked good in his other welterweight fights because he wasn't fighting Floyd. Get over it.
lol.. you're saying what I just said in a previous post.. Floyd's style was the worst style for an "all of a sudden" aggressive marquez.. who moved up 12lbs.. get over it!!
Can't believe people are still bringing up this May/Pac subject.
Mayweather will never run out of excuses. That's the bottom line.
:unitedsta
I don't just talk smack to pac fans.. I talk smack to Floyd fans too.. so this post would of been 1000x's better if is said
"Can't believe people are still bringing up this May/Pac subject.
Mayweather & Arum will never run out of excuses. That's the bottom line."
There! I fixed it for yah!
Because people are whiners by nature.....how many times have I read the rumors that Triple "G" KO ¿Covaleb? who is a true light heavy weight, than if GGG truly did that he should have no problems doing the same to Chavez Jr.
I've also seen him put Butte on his ass in amateurs..
