[Kball15]

The promotion for DLH-Mayweather was a lo better then Hatton-Mayweather, but both are being SUPERBLY promoted on HBO, and casual fans are definetly wanting to tune in after watching the 24/7 shows

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Getting the gold medal in Barcelona surely must of added to DLH's appeal aswell.

DIOS DOMINICANO,

No ****, but Oscar is STILL an active fighter with an active fan base and my point is that Floyd may be getting some shine right now but Oscar is STILL Boxing's Golden Boy. If both of these ****s were to do an autograph signing, you mean to tell me that MORE people would show up to Floyd's than Oscar's? Remember, the average casual boxing fan was not too impressed by Floyd's performance against Oscar in their last fight. This is confirmed by the many interviews where that particular issue was brought up including a recent one posted here. Who watches Dancing With The Stars? Housewives and ****s. Do you hear any Housewives talking about PBF? What about ****s? You come out on Dancing With The Stars so that your name can be put in tabloid magazines and my girls reads every single one out there and the only thing she ever saw was just an update saying he got eliminated like in the 8th page in a small corner of the magazine. Floyd's 4 minute appearance on Jimmy Kimmel really isn't going to do ****. The thing Floyd fans dont understand is that PBF isnt beloved. Oscar's fairy ass was beloved. But Floyd is mostly regarded as "that arrogant boxer guy" by the casual fan. If you want to claim that even negative press is good press for Floyd, than so be it. If you guys are content with Floyd being THE name in Boxing for all the wrong reasons, than more power to you. But untill Oscar dies from fishnet stockings being wrapped around his neck, Floyd will still be #2.

2501,

Yes. Housewives and ****s are the ones ordering the fights. True Story.

It is WELL-DOCUMENTED that the hardcore boxing community will make a fight do about 350K You get the broader boxing community up to about 500K.

The fights that do a million have brought in the casual fan and mainstream sports fans.

The fights that do 2 million have brought in all of the above, and adds in the non-boxing fan. Yes, the ****s and housewives.

That's gotta be good for at least 80K ppv buys.

That can't be right. Who the hell orders the PPV more than a week in advance? I order mine exactly when the coverage starts. Digital cable makes pre-orders unnecessary.

Yeah. I order at 8pm. That is when the beers hit the coolers.

Is there a pre-order discount?? Such as 49.95 for pre-order and 54.95 for 'night of' orders?

I don't know about that, but it's a good idea.
