      Mayweather said it's going to be on regular Sky Sports which is probably what will happen. Lots of people saw May when he knocked out Ricky Hatton so they will watch it! Apparently he got thousands of emails and questions when on Sky Sports News yesterday so he does have fans here and he was getting mobbed while in North London so people know who he is! Beating Big Show at Wrestlemania gave him some good exposure!! lol.

        But 850 000 others will still pay.Even if they turn out to be less people will still pay.Marketing isnt about satisfying everyone

          If it's on Sky Box Office it won't do over 150k IMO.

            The casual boxing fan DOES know Mayweather.

            The buzz around the Mayweather-Hatton fight was about 100 times more than the Hatton-Pacquiao fight over here.

              Mayweather is big here, more popular than Pac imo. The Mayweather-Hatton fight was huge, everyone was watching it, whereas i don't know many who watched Pac-Hatton.

              His fight will sell, but i don't know if it will beat Hatton-Pac since Hatton is bigger than Mayweather over here and nobody knows who Marquez is.

                      lol... If it were a PBF-Pac it would sell. Pac inherits Hatton`s quest to defeat Mayweather. And Pacquiao did declare his Scottish bloodline, fighting for freedom. I don`t know if that was a joke though.
