    GBP can put 45k in that stadium. They turned it down. The stadium is HUGE. Ofcourse it has to fill up.
    LOL dude I am on topic, I didn't say anything derogatory about Floyd at all.

    My point is that Pacquiao vs Clottey isn't going to be a huge blockbuster, but getting an attendance of 45k @ Cowboys Stadium isn't because it's solely at Cowboys stadium. If Goosen or Dibella's promotional team threw a card there, would you also expect 45k people attending? Between both those dudes, who can they headline that would pack 45k people?

    You were the same dude who said Pac vs Hatton was gonna do **** on PPV to everyone's disagreement, and again you were proven wrong. Will Pac vs Clottey do Millions on PPV? No, but headlining the 1st of many fights to come outside of Vegas IMO is one step forward to moving the sport in a new direction as far as venues and presentation all together.

    But to each his own...

          GBP can't hold Arum's jock in promotions. This fight has been as promoted well and the promotion will increase heavily during fight week. You need to quit the hating. It amazes me how someone is always ready to tell the rich how to spend their money. You have never promoted crap. I have and know what it takes. Especially at a live gate show w/o the benefit of a casino assuming the marketing dollars. This fight will do great numbers at the live gate and ver very repesectable numbers on PPV. This is an A+ draw against a C draw. Mayweather/Mosely is an a+ PPV draw against a B+ PPV draw as far as Mosely being a name viable opponent goes so of course May/Mosely will do better PPV numbers. Mosely wasn't available as an opponent when Pac moved on. Remember? Clottey was the best available at the time and Pac took it. Quit the hating when you don't understand the financial side of the business. It gets real old man.

            Stop being so damn defensive. No where in this thread did I "Hate". I want the fight to do good genius. Even DIEHARD Pacfans agree there is lack of promotion.

                Your title is hate. How could it not be any thing else? Of course Arum cares. It's his money dumb arse. Try putting your hard earned money on the line in hopes of a return while chancing a monumental loss and then get back to me. You know absolutely nothing of what you speak yet you continue to spew idiocy. That in itself defines ignorance!

                  Get off your high horse. This fight isnt being promoted properly. It doesnt take a guy named DC fight fan to tell me otherwise.
