this is going to be an entertaining fight, I dont know why people dislike it so much.

I hope the undercard isnt garbage. it would be great if they actually did like Nate Campbell said and had him vs. Marquez on the undercard...that would be amazingly good.

I am a Margarito fan and I never said this wasn't going to sell.

Maybe the moral of the story is you like to generalize?

Rich Celebrities going to another one of oscars boxing events... The only celebrity I respect who goes to these boxing events are Jack Nicholson because hes been to like every fight even the non-big fights that bring out all the celebrities. Jack Nicholson is a real boxing fan and most of the other celebrities are phoneys who could give 2 ****s about boxing and just go for the publicity and ****.

thats true huh? i hate it when u see like a no talent non hot white chick actress like Kate Hudson who i can bet the house doesnt even know whats going on in the ring!

The thing here is that Pac got more higher percentage probably 40-60 or 35-65 split than Mayweather who only got 30-70 split..

Pac will get with the PPV and Gate revenue more or less than 25-30 million dollars in total
