Mayweather/Marquez: Ticket Prices Tell The Story

[BMWM3P]

marquez is #2 on the p4p list.....by your logic, cotto should be fighting clottey again, since he really lost the first fight....but it doesn't apply there huh?


dudes like you who say, "i want to see him fight the best," are really only saying, "i won't be happy till he loses..."

how do you give a dude grief for fighting the second ranked fighter on the p4p list, after a 2-year layoff?

Did I miss anything I'm sure I watched the Cotto vs Clottey fight and I'm sure Cotto was declared the winner.


A career 126 pounder who was dragged two classes above his latest weightclass.

How quickly they change their tune once they realize Floyd is not this cash cow. I Love it.

Go back to doghouse.

You're a bum there and moving locations isn't going to change that.

You've been on point today, sir.

im planning trip across the pond to the fight. looking to hook up with some pbf fans that are going.

So you're going to a gay pride parade?

[Vasyl’s dad]

It matter because everything that comes out of Floyd's mouth is about how much a draw he is. He has used the excuse of being too much a draw to avoid a lot of fighters. If this fight gets blown out of the water by Pacquiao-Cotto he will not have that excuse an all his excuses will be shown to be just that. The determination of the purse split for a fight is based on these numbers, and a crappy showing will leave Floyd with no choice but to take less of the split unless he prices himself out of any big fights.

Exactly, Floyd and his merry band of fairies made it a topic in boxing when, for the most part,

nobody really gave a **** about how much money the fighters made or how many PPVs were sold.

Now, its just coming back to bite them in the ass.

[Vasyl’s dad]

empty ring or not floyd's money is guaranteed when the bell rings.thats all that matters.

How much are you getting?

[Vasyl’s dad]

This is floyds warm up since retiring. With that said floyd has done larger # with both delahoya & hatton. Cotto vs pac is going to sell a hell of alot better come on. That is a ****** comparison. Say what you say but floyd is a mega star in boxing. If manny loses to cotto it will damn hard to land the fight with floyd on $ agreement.

Why would the self proclaimed "best fighter ever",

need a warmup after a retirement?

Ray Leonard fought Marvin Hagler after being out of the ring for three years,

at middleweight.

marquez is a good draw. thanks to him, tickets are being sold

Co-sign. 90% of the gate will be Mexican. And I don't care which fight does better than the other. I just want to see good fights. I think high ticket sales could possibly hurt a fight on PPV if it is already sold out. That will give Arum more incentive to throw a ****ty undercard to the Pacquiao-Cotto fight. I won't buy that fight if it has a lame undercard. That fight wasn't on the top of my wish list anyway because Cotto looked mediocre against Clottey.

[TKO Tom]

Yeah, a Hater

You forgot to mention he got 15 mill from the rip! from from HBO . Of course two stars is going do better then a one & half of a star fight card, duh!

Yeah, I'm a hater, from Haiti who drinks Hater-ade....

Just stating the facts my man...just stating the facts.

Thanks for reading.

pbf-jmm ticket sales are doing well. theyre selling tickets with a speed of 1 ticket a day

Selling like hot cakes with a topping of tabasco. It would take more than 40 years to sold out the MGM boxing arena.
