O.k so Pacquiao-Margarito is starting to seem more interesting now..

[FLY TY]

but people bought for someone they DONT know in Clottey? really?


dude, this is boxing...you have one huge name and you have another name that's recognizable, you know it'll do good numbers


the casuals dont sit in message boards and know every freekin detail...they see 2 names they recognize and chances are, they'll wanna watch



****, you have Floyd vs a 107yr old Shane doing over a million...that's because you have one huge name and another that people recognize

those points are true, but another reason floyd-shane did well, was b/c many ppl saw it as his toughest fight to date.....


nobody's gonna say that about pacquiao vs. margarito, or pacquiao vs. cotto II.


it comes down to more than just names.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

a miguel cotto that got beatdown by margarito and barely scaped vs a no name in clottey was able to do over a million with PAC

I think it does a million pacquiao brought in 700K against Clottey all on his own. Also that fight had NO marketing, no 24/7, and these fools didn't even have a commercial or posters at the all star game a few weeks befor ethe fight.

possible but unlikely i think.

best marg-pac does is 900k or so imo. worse probably be 600k.

if this fight can be at cowboys stadium , it'll sell.

arum and jones needs to bribe some texas officials.

put marg-pac on with some solid mexican fighters on the undercard and it'll sell a ton of seats.

[Stone Roses!]

by that statement.......

floyd's fights

mosley - cotto's leftovers
marquez - pacquiao's leftovers
delahoya - mosley's leftovers
mitchell - kostya's leftovers
judah - baldomir's leftovers
baldomir - some argentinian guy's leftovers

anyone see a pattern as well?

the pattern that amber is a nitwit.

So what you're saying is both May and Pac fight shot fighters?

[street bully]

They won't have any of that this time; they won't have as much ESPN coverage; they won't have much of anything this time. Margarito is not the powerhouse he was when he fought Cotto.

One word, Mexicans. people thought floyd vs marquez was goign to flop, bada bing bada boom Mexico independance day weekend and the fight does a million. Does great numbers in California, Nevada, Arizona, and texas. See a pattern?

I see that point and raise you one. The gig is up. We now know Manny can deal with a real welter. That certainly wasn't the case prior to the Cotto bout and that was the intrigue. How will Manny deal with a big, strong, skilled welter? Well guess what? He aced the test. What's the selling point here?

[FLY TY]

700K a failure in boxing ppv....i've heard it all

mak, 700K is a failure, when your previous fights were 1.4, then 1.25.

Yeah. Marquez isn't Margarito and Manny isn't Floyd Mayweather coming off a two-year layoff.

15000 people paid for Margarito's last PPV. 15000.
