Where is the Pacquiao vs. Clottey hype?

[Doctor_Tenma]

What you predicting and what Burner predicted are really not flops of a fight... Those are good numbers... Could it do better with better promotin? Yes it can... But, considering who the opponent is 500k-600k are good numbers... I personally would be really surprised if this fight did a million or close to it... That would mean I really underrated Pacquiao drawing power...

Yeah, I agree, 500-600K are really good numbers but I expect better. I'm not seeing much of the hype though. I guess 24/7 does make that much of a difference.

700K

Pac's name is big enough to carry this fight, like Mayweather's was to carry the Marquez fight.

Yea but, JMM helped also.... Floyd did most numbers. But, have JMM as the best Mexican fighter and fighting on a Mexcican independents day weekend helped a little... And, then when JMM drank his own piss, helped promote the fight. Everybody was talking about that, even the non sports channels in English and Spanish were talking about that... That clip helped sell the fight. And, also Mayweather coming back from a long layoff had something to do with also...

I predict 500/ 550K. Those are damn good numbers also but it can do alot better I believe.

wow those are low. so if it somewhere over 750k i win already? i take the deal.

I agree with the Piss drinking. That's the reason it sells 1m. But JMM only got a few percentage for doing that. So Floyd give him extra $600K by coming overweight.

Did what I can to hype the fight, submitted my piece. Hype not for Arum, or Dallas, or even Pac though. I simply accept the point of view that this is the biggest fight of Clottey's career and that it should be acknowledged.

Arum, imo, deserves no credit for this, he's done a terrible job in my opinion. I'd give Jerry Jones more credit, it was his idea and his proposal anyway. Apparently Arum has left all the promoting to the Cowboy owner as well.

If you ask me, in the case of Mayweather-Marquez, that 600K was better for him than Floyd losing the 2 pounds. Either way JMM was getting an azz whipping, at least this way he pocketed an extra 600K, heck he made more with a penalty than he does with most of his fights!!!

Whats not good for Pac-Clottey is that I dont even think a lot of hardcore fans are going to buy it. Now we are definitely going to watch it, but I suspect most of us are going out to do so.

jmm has the worst management. Saying no to 750k on the pac rematch and get ripped off by Floyd.

Its not about matching speed for speed. Its about timing.

Cotto can beat Packy if he fights smarter.

Yeap. he had the wrong Game plan if he ever had one!

Where did his right hand go?

after He parture ways with Evangelista, his straight Right hand and body Punching disapear!

Nah, you have to look at the circumstances and who is fighting. Pac was unloading recklessly like that because the fight was well in hand, Cotto was whipped, and he could get away with it. He wouldn't just walk forward clumsily swinging like Oscar is when Floyd is smashing him with the rights.

Pacquiao always swinging recklesly and he is open to counters. Floyd will Counter him to death!
