Lack of promotion for Floyd/Ortiz?

[John Connor]

the fight will promote itself, when floyd fights everyone watches... and A- lists celebrities line up for his fights

People also forget that word of mouth also gives the fight a big push as the date draws closer giving it a boost in viewership as well. The anticipation for the fight will grow bigger and bigger.

people said the same **** b4 FLOYD-JMM. ppl were LOL-ing @ the lack of promotion but floyd sells 1 mil+ every time out. that's one of the safest bets in boxing.

This fight will bomb terribly. GBP can't promote worth a damn. This fight would be lucky to do 1 million because everyone knows Floyd is gonna run on his bike and throw punches with less pop than Malinaggi and Ortiz is a quitter to boxing fans and a no name to casual fans.

Pacquiao Marquez is the fight that everyone is waiting for. Thats gonna be a war (while it lasts)

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.

thats because it's not going to be a big draw fight, Mayweather outclassing another fighter with nothing but high hopes. Whats so exciting about it? I wouldnt promote it either
