Lack of promotion for Floyd/Ortiz?

[Deevel916]

With just about a month till fight night, outside the few boxing sites I visit, I have yet to see real sort of promotion campaign for this fight. I recall GBP stating how this is going to be their biggest promoted fight ever. Really? Floyd/Oscar and Floyd/Hatton had a much bigger promotional campaign behind it.

I constantly hear about how it takes 3 months to properly promote a fight, but that doesnt seem to be the case here. Lets hope they step it up. Im excited to see how this fight plays out.

Wait for the 24-7 to come then i expect heavy promotion.

doesn't need promotion anyway
Floyd coming back from vacation
people will watch it to see how he looks in his comeback fight

Yes but the general public/casual fans need to know he's coming back.

its not the fight we want

ortiz doesn't draw- only boxing fans know he's dangerous

everyone else doesn't wanna know- they want pacquiao

Sigh.

Setting up the deals with the networks. Making sure you pick a date that doesn't conflict with other events, locking down logistics of venue, travel, camp, etc.

Security, broadcast talent, production of Face/Offs and 24/7's, etc, etc.

Negotiation of deals with corporate sponsors, negotiation of site fees with venues, etc

Camp alone takes 8 weeks.

It does't need much promotion. floyd mayweather, hbo's 24/7 series and the fact that the fights on hbo ppv is enough. Hbo has over 20 million subscribers so all they need is 1 percent of their subscribers to order the fight and wuala, their goes your 1 million ppv sales. And then you all can talk about how successfull the ppv was, and how great the numbers were blah blah blah etc.

Exactly where did you go to school?

Which is exactly why I bet this wouldn't do a million. 3 Months to promote a super fight? Comon man. They don't even have the commercial for the fight yet.

People will tune in for Floyd, and that's pretty much it.
