    Even though odlh/floyd did massive numbers, it was a huge letdown in boxing. It was probably the biggest hypejob in history, but every round we were waiting for someone to turn it up. Instead, we saw floyd play it to the judges. I bet that fight turned alot of people off boxing. Its slowly making its way back
    mayweather marquez got 900K ppv at only 44.95 each, PLUS some help from a consumer company offering discounted/free tickets for the purchase of their product. In contrast, Pacquiao-Cotto did 1.25M (and the numbers are supposedly still not complete) at 54.95. More buys, higher ticket price.

    I think boxing is on its way to recovery, and it started when Mayweather retired. with mayweather's return, we are shown how an expensive boring boxing match is actually done.
