    I agree. It is an brilliant idea. The 24/7 shows and the trash talk is hyping it even further.

    I said in another thread that the idea of 24/7 is the sell the fight and the best way to sell the fight is to create animosity between the participants. Pro Wrestling has been doing this for 60 years with excellent results.

    If Mayweather/Pac is made, Pac would do himself a big favor ($) by using his acting skills to create animosity. In fact, I was thinking that it would be a brilliant move if Pac showed up at the fight and (if Mayweather wins), climbed in the ring and started talking **** to Mayweather like Mosley did. Even if he was speaking his native language, he could increase his purse from an estimated $40 million to $45 million. If he took a swing at Mayweather or better yet, spit at him, he would be looking at $50 to $60 million!

          I thought it was dumb when I first heard it but shortly after it made a lot of sence because it tied into thye whole promotion.

          Some names are just titles, this name was more of a whole campaign.

          It is a pretty good plan even if the name by itself is pretty lame.

            I like it..it gets everyone in involved and interested in the fight. I made a group on Facebook and I have been getting ALOT of feedback about the fight and everything. People post on the page about who they are picking everyday, its pretty cool. If anyone has facebook, be sure to become a fan. Here is the link.

                I guess Dan Rafeal doesn't see it that way.

                  Nobody would buy the fight if they automatically thought Floyd would win. The title gets it's point across. I still hate it though.

                    Its a brilliant name because of the interaction with the poll and all. Once someone participates in something(the poll), they will be more inclined to follow the fight.
