Mayweather trying to make a comeback on the same day as UFC 100?

if it were to happen they'd probably make it a double header in two seperate venues like the cotto pavlik one ... bhop can be in the east pbf in the west ... i think pbf would have to go last just for timezone reasons ...

Man..ur right..and plus a PPV card with Hopkins/Adamek, Mayweather/JMM alone is actually worth 50 bucks..let alone having it on HBO World Championship Boxing..would get a lot of viewers and possibly due to it being free it can give boxing a good boost

If they put that card together, I would pay 60 bucks to watch it.

Mayweather vs UFC 100


Things are getting interesting. On July 11th, UFC 100 will be live on PPV. The card features two title fights and a slew of other notable match-ups. It should break a million PPV buys without too much trouble. Although things might get a little murky if it has to go head to head with the return of Floyd Mayweather Jr., who ESPN claims could come out of retirement as early as July 11.

At this point it is not known whether Mayweather's return would be on HBO or PPV. I guess it depends on the opponent. It would seem unlikely they could get the winner of Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd to take a fight with Mayweather two months later. The other name floating around is Shane Mosley. It wouldn't be the biggest PPV ever, but it would definitely draw some attention. Anyone else and it's straight to HBO.

Could you imagine if July 11th somehow featured UFC 100 on PPV, Affliction on some TV channel, and Mayweather on HBO? Maybe they can hold all the events in Las Vegas and make Keith Kizer's head explode.

That would be a bad idea. Especially if he expects his comeback to be as big as he would want it to be.
I have to admit Ill be excited about it either way.

I agree, it just wouldn't be good business, aren't there any other summer dates out there? Why is everyone trying to jump on July 11th?
