Mayweather/Marquez was a SUCCESSFUL event

[PRINCSHERPY]

You're just crying because Mayweather made your hero look like an ordinary boxer.

JMM aint my hero.

PACQUIAO is.

FRAUD BUMWEATHER couldnt knock out or hurt blown up featherweight.

He should destroy him in few rounds.

KLITSCHKO would KO KESSLER in 2 rounds.

Thats same sh.t KLITSCHKO vs KESSLER = FRAUD vs MARQUEZ

I mean...it was ok.

The undercard fights were cool, wasn't jumping out of my seat going crazy or anything.

Floyd looked good obviously. They used Marquez as a sacrificial lamb and staged the whole Mosley / Mayweather situation afterwards (anyone who doesn't see that as a set up are completely dumb lol).

[Al Haymon]

I think the PPV numbers are going to be much higher than people expect and maybe double or more than what UFC did. If you look at ESPN the Mayweather fight has over 1300 replies while the UFC has about 30. This fight did well and may go pass the Hatton/Pacquaio fight.

If Mayweather-Marquez beats Hatton-pacquiao, there will be a day of mourning in the Philippines.

It will be verrrrry hard for the Mayweather haters to rationalize that to the Mayweather supporters.

I have long defended Max Kellerman. But his interview and decisions last night were indefensible.


How was it ever a good idea to bring over the GBP figureheads into Mayweather's victory interview? I've never actually seen that before. He could have waited until after Floyd broke down the fight and discussed his future.

WTH was Bernard doing?

Bernard is one of the promoter for Golden boy promotions. Plus Marquez is his fighter. Another thing is mayweather waived his hand so mosley could come on near him

They usually get into the ring to congratulate the fighters don't they? I know at least Oscar does.

but thats the kinda card i prefer, i wasnt a huge fan of the main event TBH and it reminded me of bald bull vs little mac.... but its what i expected, floyd was nearly flawless and Marquez did all he could, neither fighter should be ashamed...

Floyd is just a better fighter than Marquez. At any weight. He would have been Marquez' nightmare at 130. Knowing what FMJ was as a SFW, he would have cut through JMM like a knife through butter.

And yeah. Those punches that Floyd called wide last week suddenly looked very wide. i never really noticed it before because they were landing on Pac's face.

Yes. Bernard is an equity partner in GBP. But that is not license to create a chaotic environment in a big fight by yelling over max' shoulder. Either Shane can speak for himself, or say what you want to at the post-fight presser.

The post-fight presser is where the promoter should talk.

That whole situation last night could have become much uglier with Roger, Big Floyd, and Leonard there. You know how that testosterone and adrenaline amps up those situations.

Mayweather/Marquez was a SUCCESSFUL event

In the final analysis, the attendance was over 13,000. That is more than both Cotto/Margarito and Pacquiao/Marquez 2. Very solid numbers. Only 1,000 fewer tickets sold than Delahoya-Pacquiao.

There is no doubt that "Numero Uno" was the event that engaged and fascinated the media. Mayweather was all over ESPN last night. In fact, I didn't even see UFC covered at all except for the chyron.

I'm anxious to see what the PPV buys were, but given how many YouTube posts and posts on the various fora, I would anticipate strong numbers. Also, Mark Taffet is bullish today.

The most important thing is that Floyd left the impression of complete dominance. That will enable him to dictate the fights he wants to make going forward.

Congratulations, Floyd, and to both Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions on a fantastic night for boxing. Thank you.
