    But they won't let us know for sure until Floyd pays his taxes? Yup, that sounds about right

    Richard Schaefer doesn't have much confidence in the intelligence level of boxing fans, and judging by some posters on this board he is justified.

As for most promoted I'm not sure if it was or not.



          What about schafers promotional stunt? Alvarez drew 38 MILLION VIEWERS just alone in mexico before the gomez fight.He's merely steps away from his first ppv showcase.Ppl won't admit it but floyd needs that extra bump drawing power from mexicans.Its a true fact proven.His ties with the wbc is also helping him.They benefit floyd benefits.ODLH,JMM,Victor Ortiz,Canelo Alvarez,Eric Morales,the list goes on.


          Maybe you can say undercards do virtually nothing.Maybe in america.But who or what other marquee names can they fill in to replace these fighters drawing numbers?

              As soon as Floyd pays his back taxes, we'll find out that he sold 1.2 million buys, but not before then.

              You are exhibit A for what I was talking about earlier

              How's your acting career going btw?

                They have to put Mexicans on the under cards so that Mexican will buy PPV when Floyd fights. Mexicans won't buy a Floyd PPV if theres no Mexican opponent or Mexicans on the under card. Why do you think Oscar always puts Mexicans on the under cards. Have Floyd Fight Berto and put a bunch of Blacks on the under cards I bet it dosn't even do 300,000 buys

                  while we STILL havent gotten official numbers from Showtime in regards to the Pac-Mosley fight.

                  Its going very well, man. I have some big projects coming up at the top of the year but to finish out this year-we are getting ready to began filming two Features, a movie trailer for a film about Frank Ocean(the singer,) its basically his "Purple Rain" and a music video this Saturday for an up-and-coming band.

                  hows yours going, dude?

                    If you don't believe Pac-Mosley did 1.3 million, write Ken Hershman or Rafael or Iole and dig for the truth. Happy hunting

                    And I just did a Nike basketball commercial last week, shot at the Rucker. Working the 2-2 tomorrow.

I was at a bar watching the fight, and there were about 300 ppl in there, most casual fans, and a lot of them could care less about the undercard. I mean i'd say about 98 percent of the place wasnt even paying attention to it. When the main event started thats when everyone got to their seats and got excited.
                      Yes, but those 300 casual fans did NOT buy the PPV....did they?? Those involved in the fight
                      have strong motives to play up a larger number. We really won't know until the true figures are officially announced. And even then, we won't know if Oscar played his usual trick by counting theatre seats as PPV. Once Oscar is involved, the proper, true figures may never be known.
