    I agree with the part that says that JMM's strategy is being laid out for all to see.. what's up with that? They shouldn't be talking about that on camera... they should probably have asked HBO to leave like Mayweather did.

    I really want Marquez to win this fight, but every time I compare speed in this 24/7, I think it won't be possible. We'll see.

      Trust me...people ***** about paying $10 to go see a movie, but they'll pay $18 to be in a theater with a bunch of loud ass people when they could just pitch in money with friends to buy it on PPV anyway? At $18 between 3 people can buy the PPV itself.

      They're reachin...
      Do you love the sport?

      If you do love boxing, and want to see the sport do well and grow, you should be happy. Good ideas are sometimes borne of desperation. Good things come from bad situations.

      If the poor PPV sales (and how would they possibly know that already?) means that boxing then gets expanded to different outlets, isn't that a good thing?

      Or would you prefer to see a big fight between two top fighters fail?

        Hatton and Delahoya did the same thing.

        Remember how Shane was mimicking Floyd?

          This isn't about new outlets. If they wanted to do that, they'd make the PPV available online or lose money to go network. This is about hedging bets to cover a feared bad buy on PPV.

            its no surprise what jmm has to do to beat floyd. none at all.

            They shouldn't be talking about that on camera... they should probably have asked HBO to leave like Mayweather did.
            nah man, as a fan, I'm glad they showed that and I wish team mayweather would do the same...

            I really want Marquez to win this fight, but every time I compare speed in this 24/7, I think it won't be possible.
            well, if their handspeeds on the speed bag means anything, then floyd has a significant advantage, but we already knew this.

              As I have been saying this fight hasn't sold because JMM isn't posing a real threat. People want to see Mayweather lose and JMM wont give people what they want.
              haha you refered to some people in here as May haters then said the fight wont sell cause JMM isnt posing a threat and wont give people what they want.... what a crock of shhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiit. May didnt have to fight a light weight, SON....he could have actually acted like a P4P champion and fought somone at WW, someone who did pose a threat ..dont put the blame on JMM when May could have had ANYONE from 154 down and chose who he did.....

                    I'm looking forward to the fight as well. I will be buying the PPV mainly because I want to see it, but also because I love the sport and want to support boxing. I like MMA a lot but I don't want to see it take over. I grew up on boxing and would love to see it come back to the mainstream. Hey you guys know your own situation and every man is going to do what he has to do but if you want to see it, have a fight party and buy it.
