    Bob Arum is doing a horrible job at promoting this fight

    Not only is it getting overshadowed my shane mosely's fight but even me a hardcore boxing fan i find myself forgetting pacquiao and clottey are fighting soon every once in a while.

    If this is pacquiao's last fight that would be a joke

    Bob Arum is old and lazy.

    Golden Boy is running Arum and King right out the game.

      300K are good numbers in my opinion and I'm expecting 500K out of this. Just that this could have done so much better.

        This should be a much closer fight than the mosley fight too.

          its hard to do it.. when u have other events that are going to outshine this one...

          the only interesting fact in this fight is the cowboys stadium.

          ppl see clottey like.. he lost to cotto.. and pac tkoed cotto.. whats does he have to win??? ppl already know the result of this fight..... thats why is kind of hard to promote it

              People already knew the outcome of Floyd v JMM but that fight still hit over a million PPV.

              No excuses, Pacquiao has a terrible marketing team.

                  I don't see how golden boy is running Arum out the game. When golden boy has yet developed a fighter...

                    Its like they are not trying to promote this. I really don't get it. The NBA all-star game had so much press about the stadium. I expected to see Arum and or Pac at some point standing next to Jerry Jones. The effort was not there and I guess the stadium was supposed to promote the fight alone. If I worked for Top Rank I would try to position Clottey as monster that can't be hurt and has been on the end of some questionable decision losses. At least try to make people believe it.
