Floyd vs. JMM mismatch fight promotional blunders:
1. Fight was hurriedly announced just 12 hours before the Pacquiao-Hatton fight... It's not a good sign to promote a supposedly "big" fight riding on the buzz of some other big fight... If it's a big fight, it can stand on its own...
2. Floyd Mayweather Sr. proclaimed that JMM is just a TUNE UP fight for Floyd... Great!! Boxing fans will start buying tickets to see this tune up fight...
3. Promotional tour visit in London... No disrespect to boxing fans in London but why London? Is it because Matthew is fighting on the undercard? They should concentrate promoting the main event boxers... They could also have the promo tour to Mexico or to Grand Rapids instead of London...
4. The fight will be at a guessweight... It's up for the fans and media to guess the real weight these boxers will fight... I think this is one of the biggest promotional blunder... Weight as we all know is one of the most important factor in a fight and should be fixed and agreed upon during fight negotiation and should be clearly announced to the media and buying fans...
5. Floyd is willing to pay step aside money to JMM in order to fight somebody else... This only shows that their fight is really an irrelevant joke fight which can be easily postponed and/or canceled... It's also a big disrespect to JMM...
Since this fight was announced, it's already been viewed as a huge mismatch fight where Floyd has all the advantages... Fans has little interest on this fight and it's not selling well... The promotional blunders make it worst...
