Oscar didnt make Forbes vs. ODH a PPV for a reason....Floyd shouldve did the same.

and the tkts shouldve been cheaper

Marquez is no Forbes! This really is the equivalent to De la Hoya vs Pacquiao not De la Hoya vs Forbes. It should have cheaper tickets or maybe it should be held at the staples centre.

Yes but JMM has a much higher profile in the boxing world than Steve Forbes.. So comparing Forbes/DLH and Jmm/Mayweather doesn't work so well. The tickets should definitely be cheaper.

No the fighters arent the same but the circumstances are.......

Forbes was a tune up for Oscar.

JMM is a tune up for Floyd.

Marquez has already headlined a ppv that sold well. He is no Steve Forbes. And Floyd Mayweather is no Oscar De La Hoya.

Yes it is a tune up but JMM is huge compared to Steve Forbes. No one is going to agree with this parallel.

At first they said Floyd's comeback would be on regular HBO..

That would have been the best move.
