Bob Arum is doing a horrible job at promoting this fight

      I see it like this
      Bob either has the fix in so he doesnt really care and is cool with 350k buys or he knows that Pac has this in the bag and really sees no point in promoting it too much because its going to cost him more money to promote and its not a big event so why waste his money.
      I think its a smart move
      he knows that this fight is a farm league type fight while Mosley May is the big leagues.
      Pac always brings the heat and this will probably be the more entertaining fight cause its always fun to see a guy get KTFO. But Mosley Floyd is 10 years in the making

          If this is pacquiao's last fight that would be a joke
          It does seem a little strange. Its almost like Arum has conceded defeat and given up on promoting it,shame because I think its a good fight. I think this will be Pacs hardest since coming up to 147.

              Oh please believe Arum promoted this fight. He used the Mayweather negotiations to promote the fight. Look how quick he put together a fight with Clottey right after. He tried to ride the controversy and hype for the Mayweather fight into this fight in hopes that the buzz would still be so big it would promote itself. But I'm sure he counted on it doing much better. Now he has screwed Pac over on negotiations when it comes to the Mayweather fight. Mayweather Mosley is going to shatter Pac Clottey PPV buys.

                PacMan should just go fight BigShow this weekend, I think that would add a boost to promotion.

                  I hope so but the only one of those fighters who deserves to fight pacquiao is bradley

                    pacquiao terrible marketing team.. is the one who teach floyd how to do bussiness... said by him self!!

                    Where was that whole country that was behind him when he fought Pacquaio or any other fighter for that matter? He didn't bring in big numbers until he fought Floyd. Stop downplaying Floyd's drawing power so u can explain why Pacquiao fights not going to do well. Bottom line is Floyd got the PPV on lock now. Things may change in the future but right now he has the game in a strangle hold.

                      No effort has been made to promote Pac-Clottey. I guess they don't care what kind of numbers it does, that or they are that confident in Pac's drawing ability.
