Yea true but their PPV's are half the price of US PPVs and they are more into boxing

I'm just more surprised that Lewis didnt do the highest #s against tyson

Yeah that's true.

The PPV was £15 for that fight which is nothing in comparison the the US PPV prices.

But I don't think the UK are more into Boxing than the US.

People seem to think Boxing is one of our biggest sports over here. It's really not. Not even close.

[-PBP-]

Ironically tied with Mayweather vs Ortiz just about. That actually helps the case for a 50/50 split.

[Pacquiao'd]

Don't forget that Hatton was undefeated and the man back then.

Plus people gave him a good shot to beat mayweather because of his pressure style.

The only thing those numbers show is how much more popular Hatton was in the UK than Floyd was in the US.

and that Hatton was more of a threat when he fought Floyd then when he fought Pacy boy

[Hougigo]

and imagine if they didnt have Randall Bailey on the undercard?


that place would have had 7 people

WTF are you talking about? Everybody came for Teon "the lumberjack" Kennedy.
He put on a display on how a tree falls in the forest... text book if I say so myself.

Really? It just seems like even the same cards get big turnouts.

I had no idea you were from the UK, i always thought you were american

[tomhawq]

It means Floyd fans don't want Pac for their idol. They have to justify Floyd's fear of Pac. They're trying to make it appear that Floyd would not benefit from a Pacquiao fight even in a 50/50 deal, not to mention seeing the one-dimensional midget get schooled by their hero. In short, they think people are that dumb.

In the end if the fight doesn't happen Floyd would become the laughing stock of the world. Who in his right mind would blame Pac and Arum for the fight not happening?

Yo Floyd fans, if you Floyd fanatics don't care whether the fight happens or not, why should others?

haha...because floyd fanatics will never get it. i hope they never will. they're just making their hero look really bad. what it actually means is floyd has no motivation to beat the number one superstar in the world unless he's offered truckloads of money. meaning he's scared. that's exactly what it means. he's scared. i hope pac leaves arum. haha... i want to know floyd's next excuse would be. i'm guessing the current offer has expired. he now wants 90/10. haha... what a bunch of clowns for supporters.

[Primera]

lol manny lost his last fight
why is pacfan so angry?

[Chris A.]

Rematch will bring $0.00

I think they will lose money on any rematch if Bradley get to keep the title he did not win!

[flint]

mayweather always does bigger numbers no matter who he fights. ducquiao turned down $40 million dollars guaranteed upfront for this toprank debacle. arum is already chipping away at ducquiao's check. what a fake christian,illiterate,one dimensional,cheating steroid taking chump.
