Pre-Fight Press Conferences

Are these things staged to sell tickets or what? I was just watching a replay of Marquez- Vasquez on Showtime and they showed some clips from the Mayorga-Vargas press conf. As soon as Vargas left his seat everyone jumped in the mix. Is this a must have for boxing, the fight before the fight or do real boxing fans even care?

Avid boxing fans will buy the fight either way. CASUAL boxing fans are what seperates 100k and 300k in ppv sales. It is needed to generate attention to get casual fans to watch.
