    Luckily I was forced to stay in the hospital and only paid 3.50 for a stream. The stream went down in the 9th so now I get Mosley-Mayweather for free, but I may order it anyway.

      Unless Ross Greenburg of HBO confirms these numbers, they're bull****.

      Anything over 700K is a huge success though.

        if PAC comes close to a million carrying an event with his name alone and no 24-7, then the floyd fight really aint happening

          if it does 700,000 or more then that a huge success IMO
          to do that number with a fighter with no fan base is ****ing amazing

              it wasn't really a snorefest. pac made it somewhat interesting by punching for the both of them since clottey basically didn't. clottey is all to blame for this fight not being exciting which is very untypical for a fight involving pac.

                No, it was a one sided freak show. Don't get me wrong, if you swallow Pac's cum, I understand why you'd find it entertaining. My friends were making fun of me for being a boxing fan that night. That should let you know what the casual fans thought about that farce.

                  no need for the insults. i never said that it was entertaining. i agree that it was very one-sided. but you can't blame pac for that. pac throws around 750-800 punches in these higher weights when the other guy is willing to fight back. clottey wasn't willing to engage and throw enough punches and that's why it became very one-sided w/ pac throwing 1200+ punches as a result.

                    Pac & Hatton did 800K
