      If it falls short, can you really blame him. At least Hatton and Oscar helped the promotion.

      Marquez hasn't done anything and his story is quite boring. He needs to start talking some trash or something.


      Props to the Mayweather's, haha those are some crazy folks. Never short on drama or a good storyline.
      Slow down, joto and Hatton helped? helped? ummmm.............joto was the ***** promotion and Hatton covered pretty much all of the european press if anyone was in the helper role in those fights it was Floyd.

        Wrong..Pac isnt the PPV king....Mayweather is and will be until he retires ...look at what Pac did vs DLH & HATTON compared to what Mayweather did.....then compare what Mayweather is going to do with Marquez vs what Pac did with Marquez...(this isnt Hate...just fact)

        and what do you consider "exciting".....how can you look at arguebly the most talented fighter P4P this generation and say he isnt exciting?...Watching Mayweather is entertaining cause he does SOOO many things in the ring on the defensive end and offensiver end......I believe any fighter can be KO'ed, but nothing is more impressive than watching another Man humiliate another grown man from pillar to post without breaking a sweat...thats exciting.

        I am no Mayweather nut hugger, but watching him box is similar to watching Tiger golf, or Kobe ball.....if you cant appreciate that aspect of boxing than you cant call yourself a fan of the sport...lol

          Yeah future, as of now floyd has the better numbers in both of their last two fights...

          Pacquiao however will best floyd on both their upcoming fight and from then on...
          So Future sounds about right.

            B4 the Mayweather fight...Hatton was never on PPV...and has only been on PPV once since then..vs Manny Pacquiao

            Hatton isnt a DRAW in the US...im

                I do agree Hatton has a strong following but he isnt a bigger Draw than Mayweather....im sorry...watch what Mayweathers next 3 fights do on PPV....and then watch Hattons next few fights on regular HBO or HBO B.A.D

                    So Future sounds about right.
                    Mayweather is the bigger American Star....he is undefeated...has way more personality and controversy surrounding him..he is and has been on American TV and has built up a large fan base that hates him and loves him......he gets all the top atheletes from other sports to come to his fights, from Tiger Woods, to Michael Jordan...the top musicians from Jay Z to P Diddy to 50 cent to Usher..he has movie stars from Denzell to Brad Pitt at his fights.....

                    U forgot Manny just started getting popular on a mainstream level...the only way i see manny being the PPV king is IF he beats Mayweather

                      Well they set aside tons of tickets to accommodate the fans from over seas....but where was the 10-12k Brit fans at the Hatton-Collazo fight...Hatton-Castillo...Hatton-Malignaggi...and why werent those fights on PPV......

                      They all came to the US to see one of the best fighters this Era take on their hometown fighter..if he was this SUPER Draw all of his fights would be on PPV and he would be having 13K brits everytime.......

                      and Im from California..Vegas is our second home...alot of people would rather watch the fight at home as opposed to going to see it LIVE...the fact shows in the PPV #'s..just cause it was more Brits in the Arena doesnt mean he was the draw on PPv.........Latinos, African Americans and Caucasians ordered that fight in the states that pushed it over a million...it wasnt the damn Brits ordering PPV in the US when they came here to watch the fight LIVE..lol
