HBO 24/7 ratings are significantly down with Pacquiao/Cotto.

[The Underboss]

The Boss is right in that you can't compare the big 3 (four?) sports to boxing.

We hear Yao's name because he plays 100 games per year. We hear Big Papi's name because he plays 200 games a year.
Manny Pacquiao will have 2 fights per year. And then go home. It just isn't possible to have the same exposure. UNLESS Pac makes a conscious effort to stay here between fights and make a name.

Yea.
you're right.

[Al Haymon]

Pac is TOO focused on percentages.

OK, manny. Go make 60% of $50 million vs Shane instead of 40% of $100 million vs Floyd.

Bad move, economically.

[nj_evoixgsr]

Why do you care so much about another man? That isn't normal.

Beat it.

you obviously care way too much that pac has taken over pbf. and has gave meaning to p4p. all i see from al haymon is pac hate threads. or trying to beat the hype with meaningless crap.

first one is whatever. second viewing was on HALLOWEEN. dumb ass. get a life

[Al Haymon]

FLOYD vs MOSLEY is a "BIG COMPETITIVE FIGHT"
FLOYD VS WILLIAMS is a "BIG COMPETITIVE FIGHT"
FLOYD VS COTTO is a "BIG COMPETITIVE FIGHT"

Mayweather makes the fight "BIG", the 3 fighters that I have mentioned, I believe, makes the fights "COMPETITIVE"

Soooo, you tell me:

If you were Floyd, who would you have fought in your comeback fight after a 21 month layoff?

Thanks.

You are responding to them. Religiously.

[MASSMAN]

Pacman!

Soooo, you tell me:

Thanks.

IF I was Floyd, I would have fought PACMAN after a 21 month layoff, because I would have made more money than what I made against JMM and I would have beat Pacman just as convincingly. Ray Leonard fought Hagler after a 2 or 3 year layoff and made his biggest payday!

[nj_evoixgsr]

^^religiously? sorry i work for a living. i get on here maybe 2/3 days and see some ****** comment. your on here bitching and whining almost every second. idiot again

well sorry but pac vs cotto hbo vs fight night = fight night will own your rumored GAYweather. maybe him opening the closet gives reasons why he didn't act all ****ty towards JMM.

baseball/basketball is bigger than boxing.

boxing's popularity has decreased for years.

the top american sports are baseball/basketball/football..with football being the #1.

what did you say?
That the American media does not care about non american ATHLETES.
I proved you wrong...again.

BIG "COMPETITIVE" EVENTS ARE EVEN BETTER FOR THE SPORT. A Big event becomes boring when the fight is not competitive or when you already know the outcome of the fight. I understand that the sport of boxing has now become a sport of "who can I make the most money fighting against as dictated by HBO". The difference is, and I am specifically talking about Floyd vs Marquez, is that it was a total mismatch. Floyd vs Collazo may not have been as BIG of an event, but it damn sure would have been a more competitive fight.

FLOYD vs MOSLEY is a "BIG COMPETITIVE FIGHT"
FLOYD VS WILLIAMS is a "BIG COMPETITIVE FIGHT"
FLOYD VS COTTO is a "BIG COMPETITIVE FIGHT"

Mayweather makes the fight "BIG", the 3 fighters that I have mentioned, I believe, makes the fights "COMPETITIVE"

Mayweather v Pac is a bigger fight than any of the above and I believe Pac is a better fighter than Cotto or Mosley.
Williams fights at 160, so he is irrelevant here.

Thank god you have no say in any fighters matchmaking.
