This is great for boxing! Viral Marketing + FMJ was a great combination to lure the casual fans (PPV buys).

Well, now that we know boxing is alive and well, all we need now is some good American skilled heavyweights in the mold of Tyson, Holyfield and Bowe. Then we need to bounce those crooked refs like the one that did the Malinaggi fight.

A network TV contract wouldn't hurt either but I think we need the heavyweights to get that.

wow that's amazing, i feel silly for predicting a measly 600k now

mayweather deserves the lion's share against pacquiao now, it's a wrap

You, like many, are missing the point. It does NOT matter who the fans were for. If Marquez was fighting someone else the Marquez fans would not pay in these numbers. If he is fighting Floyd they pay to see Marquez beat him. It is like the egg. You can have a crap load of Marquez or other fans (the flour) but until you have the egg (Floyd) you can't bake anything.

If it wasn't for Floyd you probably couldn't be motivated enough to even post about this fight would you?

Yeah dude like when he fought Diaz and the place was going wild at the weigh-in. Remember... (moron)

Good for the sport, but this wasnt Floyd, this was the JMM drinking piss and moving teh fight near the Mexican Independece day!!!

Floyd still a draw, but Marquez sold this PPV, thats teh reality!!!!!

I still believe HBO inflates the numbers in every PPV like Dan white does.

I still dont believe they hit the Mill mark!!!

STFU......haters like you......


when has marquez EVER been an attraction????

JMM sold the main event, but when it comes to PPV Floyd took it.

[FightTalent]

For those that think the PPV #'s should be attributed to JMM only, think again, be objective and remember - it takes two and FMJ has pretty decent if not great sales numbers in his last few events. How were JMM's numbers in his last few events prior to this one?

exactly.....when has marquez ever been an attracttion? matter of fact, his highest payday to date is like 2 million!!!

like i posted yesterday, floyd's job is to get you to tune in......it doesn't matter whether you tune in to see him win, or tune in to see him lose....as long as you tune in......its a fact, more ppl hate the man than like him, so it doesn't matter who he fights, there will always be more ppl rooting against him.....

today's a sad day for the haters on this forum......they still on that bull****, talking about "marquez sold the fight..." GTFOH
