PAVLIK-LOCKETT ticket sales = Very poor

[niceguy45]

i don't think pavlik can be a super star with drawing power,
even after cleaning-up the division, he just doesn't have it...sorry

A poor live crowd and low ratings (especially if Showtime beats it) would almost certainly kill the Rubio card. Or at the very least Arum would have to package it with a monster card (not just the battle of the juniors).

hottest girl and best show ever in ur picture thingy.

Oh definitely, the avi was a tribute to the season finale tonight. Got a few PM's about it too. Wouldn't miss it for anything.

Not only is Pavlik not a household name yet, but who the **** is Lockett? Arum was real dumb for not giving Winky the shot. Winky is far from a draw himself, but at least he's more recognizable than Lockett.

To be fair to Arum, he was looking to fill an HBO date and if you pay Winky his price it becomes a PPV fight that may not show a profit. Now when he talks about Pavlik fighting Rubio on PPV, it's a whole different story.

People are not used to paying to watch executions.

You must not know your history very well.

yea exactly. WHen Pacquiao came out of left field, he was thrown in with 3 of the greatest fighters of his era... back to back to back (Barrera, Morales, and Marquez)

And what do you know, Pacquiao is a national icon in his homeland, and really popular in US for such a small fighter.

If Pavlik fights and Beats Calzaghe, Abraham, and like a Roy Jones just for name power, he could be a really big star

DId you see an article about this or are just guessing from ticketmaster?

I'm not surprised....It's not because Pavlik isn't a star, it's because nobody has ever heard of Gary Lockett....The undercard isn't so good either, nobody really cares about the midgets.

Actually, I'm looking forward to the undercard as far as Ponce and Lopez goes more than Pavlik-Locket who? It has a lot more meaning as far as who the combatants are and what's at stake than Pavlik-Lockett. I mean sure it's Pavlik and he's defending, but against a nobody who came out of nowhere to get a shot at the belt. I mean, you know **** is messed up when you've never heard or seen a guy fight and he's getting a shot at THE MAN. Only in boxing...But yeah, Lopez vs Ponce will be a war although I'm not sure how well Lopez can take a shot, so it can be over in the 1st rd *cough*bautista*cough

Oh yeah and in regards to the tix sales, well ****, it's Pavlik who has yet to really establish himself as a huge draw outside of his Youngstown fans, and Lockett. Who the **** and where the hell did he come from? If you answered, No ****ing idea to either, then you probably wouldn't be paying money to see whether or not he can survive more than 5 rds against Pavlik or not. But hey, it's free on HBO and I guess we should be thankful for that. Some fighters go PPV when they've yet to establish ****. Were lucky Pavlik was able to beat Taylor to get to where he's at now.

This fight should have never been made, what's the point we all know the result, i hope Pavlik steps up after this and fights Calzaghe or someone else strong
