Roach Says Mayweather-Marquez Will Bomb on PPV

[illmatickid]

1 - I don't care if it's going to sell or not.

2 - I don't care if they are counter-punchers.

3 - I don't care if this fight ain't going to be exciting.

I am a boxing fan, and i am going to watch it 'cause:

1 - I love this sport.

2 - Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez are great fighters.

3 - Solid undercard with interesting fights.



Roach, you are an idiot. But i like you 'cause you are a great boxing training, that is my favorite sport!!!

Everyone on this forum should be sayin this...

the sad thing is.. its probably never gonna happen and its gonna and it is hurting the sport ....

yea.. i dont think it will bomb.. but i dont think it will do as good as pac/cotto either.. i'll be watching the fight.. because regardless if you like floyd or not and complain about his constant cherry pickin (which he does do) its still marquez in there.. and you cant forget he is the #2 P4P ranked in the world.. and he earned that.. so lets just see how the fight goes and support it.. ITS BOXING PEOPLE! we should all be happy..

for sure, i will be watching too, not for floyd, but for marquez. I think he is the better fighter.

Mayweather vs Marquez Fight

A few months from now, I might be watching this fight for free. But there is no way I have to spend $40 to $50 to watch it. No way!

Roach has been hit in the head too much. This fight will probably do 800-1.2 buys realistically. After Mayweather KO's Marquez, Pacman is next in line to get his. Mayweather is fighting Marquez first to help build up the Pacman fight and to make another 20 million when they fight. Its called business Freddie.

ps: I will be on of the 1 million people buying it on PPV. If your a real Mayweather or Marquez fan you have to buy to support boxing and history.

It seems to me it was you who got hit in the head hard, with that kind of nonsense post.Are you really serious about these 800-1.2 million buys?

Excellent point. That was a case where styles made the fight. Pac was aggressive and Diaz was a counter puncher and it sold a whopping 100,000 PPV.

Here you go talking out of your ass again. The Pac/Diaz fight did 250k

If Marquez is a cherry-picked opponent, what was David Diaz?

Picking a natural 126-130 pounder who only had 2 fights at 135 to go up for a welterweight fight is cherry picking, while a 130 pounder picking a lightweight, who also had fights at jr. welter is called what on your book?

[gopi11]

We all know what a non-partisan observer that Freddy Roach is. He didn't say how he defines "bomb". Is it 100,000, which is what Pac did against David Diaz, or is it 150,000, which is what Pac did in the first fight against Eric Morales or is it 300,000, which is the most Pac had ever drawn on PPV prior to his fight with De La Hoya.

LMAO!!!

The Pac/Morales I did what? 150k buys??? Here, read this if you know how to, you non-partisan observer! lol

Prior to De La Hoya, Pacquiao did over 400k buys against Marquez. Now GTFO here and learn to research before you spew your nonsense here again!
