    POOR TICKET SALES CONTRIBUTE TO MAYWEATHER-MARQUEZ POSTPONEMENT
    By Ben Thompson
    Mon, 15 Jun 2009
    Perhaps the July 18 clash between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez wasn't so highly anticipated after all. Sources close to the situation have informed us that although Mayweather may have suffered a rib injury during training, poor ticket sales were the major contributing factor in the Read Full Story >>>http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content5091.html

          Fighthype is not a very accurate site.


          What is most likely that he is injured (this does happean to humans after all) or some crazy conspiricy theory to drum up sales. Floyd was getting paid a ton if they sold zero tickets, and he is not getting that paycheck putting off the fight (what happeaned to all the Floyd needs money talk).


          In this article they do not even question his injury, but if ticket sales play a role then you have to be questioning his injury, as a piece of journalism this is pretty much rubbish (I guess unless it proves a point someone is trying to make).




          6 weeks rest+ 6 week training camp= 12 weeks 12 weeks= about 3 months

          about 3 months from now is mid September.

            It would be embarassing to have the fight go on and not even sell out

              yeah, but if the pbf/jmm ppv flops then pbf has no leverage against pac.

                Like this story helps his case, Arum is going to talk like this is gosple anyways. The damage was already done if this is the rumor, no reason to not just take the big payday, then worry about what is going to happean in the future.

                    He drew a LOT more than Fanny Pac did against Hatton and Oscar.
