Is it me, or is the promoting for this PAC fight suck, again.

[jpunieves]

it does not need the promotion that sold a duck fighting an old man.

its a handicap thing to sell this fight... pac does not have twitter or facebook (don't know if margs has one) and they both just have some issues at their back. they are all set to selling this fight.

i want rios versus khan. just want to see who has the bigger mouth

just like to add guys 750K for PAC-Clottey was not failure of anykind, they sold the fight on PAC's name and the Stadium only ...

750K is not a failure with Clottey, but 750K with Margarito would be a failure. I'm not saying he's gonna do that crappy, but the way I see it right now, "it's gonna be duja vu, all over again".

It's heavily promoted on our area, complete with banners and all but not done by TR but by local businesses cashing in on the fight like restaurants offering LIVE coverages if you order their special meal, movie theaters, etc.

This week should be the last big push

i'm thinking ESPn starts to make a buzz mid week


60 mins has a segment on pacquiao coming up soon

he's been on kimmel


24/7 looks to be selling manny's "distratcions" as best they can


hell, even roach and ariza are selling the "poor shape for pac" angle


it should be a fun fight considering tony's size and pressure and chin and willingness to throw

okey maybe that's true, PAC alone brings in 750k add Margarito I say it makes 1M easy or at least close to 1M...

I wont have any doubts this fight will reach 1M buys, if this was the Margarito pre plastergate...

I would look for an advertising blitz this week. Arum knows that since people don't buy PPV's in advance, there is no pointing spending the money early. The hype will be turned on late and will be fresh in peoples minds when it is time to order the fight. No matter what you think of Arum/Top Rank, you have to concede that they know how to promote a PPV correctly.

My thing is, where are the billboards, why aren't there any billboards on I-95 displaying that this fight is happening. To me it seems like they're promoting in the Dallas area, but Dallas doesn't represent the rest of the world. They're getting complacent and that could hurt their wallets.

If this was PAC-Marg pre plaster, 1M would be easy, but a lot of people don't even know that Margarito has been reinstated.
