So Mayweather/Mosley failed to exceed Pacquiao/Cotto?

25 you will be my brother from another for as long as you post on this board but uh........you are kind of putting the cart before the horse no? This fight didn't sell as much as we thought it would, it still did good numbers though.

I also think you are underestimating the future of the sport. Some fighters who we don't think are popular might explode without us knowing, who thought Floyd would be this huge? Manny? Exactly only they did. We shall see when the time comes. Danny Jacobs will take over when it does.

Can't we all get along?

this proves that floyd isn't as big as his ego thinks. i think casual fans are bored of his boring ass style.

The sport isn't going under water.

That keeps getting repeated year after year after year. It's getting pretty old at this point.

I remember years ago when I couldn't care less about boxing and I heard it. Now I'm a huge fan of it and I still hear it.

In all honesty there is so much star potentional in the 140 division it's not even funny, I hope the higher ups of boxing exploit that efficiently

Thats sucks. Floyd is supposed to be the biggest draw. Mosley has had NUMEROUS PPV outings. I mean, this fight was promoted as the biggest fight the last couple of years. It was promoted as the biggest fight of the decade. A super SUPER fight. Schaefer said that this fight was the most heavily promoted fight in the history of Golden Boy. They were utilizing avenues which never had been used before to sell the fight. Not only that, Mosley and May are American fighters. 1.2 Millions is still great for boxing, but I have to admit. It does kind of worry me a little because this fight should have done much more than that. How many buys would it have done is Mosley never would have stepped into that ring to confront Floyd?

You can try to compare those numbers to Pac/Clottey, but lets be real. That fight didn't even have a 24/7. Only had 2 months of half ass promotion. Clottey doesn't even have a fan base. Yet it still managed to do 700K. If a comparison is going to be done, it has to be to Pac/Cotto. 1.5 million PPV buys. Pac/Cotto did 1.5 millions buys even though:

Floyd said Cotto was not a PPV attraction
The 24/7 was "boring"
2 non American fighters

After Mayweather/Pacquiao, we will not have any superfights for a very long time. Its going to be a very unsure time for Boxing. HBO needs to carefully use its budget to promote new fighters.

what happened to 3 million ppvs? as usual another lie when it comes to floyd mayweather.

was it floyd who said that ?????????

[S.G.]

Yeah it seems some of us overestimated Floyd's PPV drawing power. Decent numbers, but after the **** Schaefer fed us it was always gonna be disappointing.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

was it floyd who said that ?????????

Did i say floyd said it? I said when it comes to floyd.


settle down with the multiple question marks ******.
