    FAO: The Bobfather

    Uncle Bob , you're rescheduling Juanma Lopez-Rafael Marquez for Nov. 6.

    Would it kill you to put it on the damn undercard for Pacquiao-Margarito?

    That's on Nov. 14 , a week later.


    Pacquiao , Margarito , Lopez , Marquez.....

    Mexican-Americans , Puerto Ricans and Filipino-Americans all buying ppv.

    Mexican-Americans , Puerto Ricans and Filipino-Americans all under one roof at Cowboys stadium.

    TV rights in Philippines , Mexico AND Puerto Rico among others.

    You get to show off one of your best young , prospects in what is probably gonna be the biggest win of his career to 1 mil.-1.5 mil. ppv viewers (Actually more since that's only the ppv buys and not counting who else is watching).


    Seriously , Uncle Bob.

        i know it ain't but if he wants to showcase juanma lopez (his best young prospect) this is the way.

        unfortunately marquez-lopez could probably do 300k ppv buys on their own so it won't.

            yeah but it could pay off for juanma.

            it'll vault juanma to superstar status if he puts on a good show.

            how many millions of casual fans will see him?

            otherwise only 200-300k hardcore boxing fans will see juanma beat rafa.

              In theory it's a great idea, but in reality there would be too many stars sharing the same pie. Pacquiao, Margarito, Pavlik, Lopez on one card means every one of them needs to get paid. The Nov 13th fight in Dallas should do BIG numbers, but separate events means even more money.

              The only benefit to JuanMa fighting on the undercard instead of headlining would be the exposure he would get which would be great for him long term, but short term he and Arum are thinking 'let's make as much $ as possible NOW'.

                give pavlik the boot.

                the trickiest part would be pacquiao.

                marg , lopez and rafa bob can change the details around a bit to make it work.

                  it could be a good investment for ol' bob.

                  it will be good for the fans

                  lopez could do more in his next fight as the main card

                  too bad it ain't gonna happen

                    that's the only way it'll get done if uncle bob sees it as an investment in juanma.

                    but uncle bob is probably gonna die soon......he probably doesn't care about the future.
