    Yea but the way it all happened, they may be bitter! You have an excellent point, we will see!

      It’s interesting as he wants people to get SHOWTIME when you don't need SHOWTIME for a PPV event. However I have both HBO and SHOWTIME. So it's whatever.

      I would have MAX too but they don't show boxing, so they get ZERO love.
      Something is missing in the bold part. Something like... "And it's Pacquiao's fault"

I wouldnt be surprised if Floyd resorts back to **** talking. I think theres going to be a lot of hype for this fight. I have a feeling the numbers are going to be huge.
          hmmm.... Between 1.15 and 1.30 mm PPV. Getting some help from Canelo/Trout of course.

            Same way casual fans don't have a clue who Andre Ward and Donaire are. So sad, cuz that's the reason they're not a big PPV attraction. And we're talking about top 5 pxp caliber.

              had dreads in college so maybe that why. Either way its an announcer so doesnt really mean much to me

                so you want more ppv events so you can be overcharged for boxing more than you already are?

                  With Canelo vs Trout on the undercard? If Mayweather can do 1.2 million against Ortiz you bet your ass he can do it with Canelo vs Trout on the card.

Floyd announced a bum fight with devon, so people could accuse him of ducking robert, then he announces fight with Robert at the same time he announced this deal! So its this huge media frenzy! I think this fight will get 1.5 or more! Just because of the block of hype.
                    1.5 ? I don't think so. 1.4 would surprise me a lot. Even with the hype, Guerrero is an unknown character for a huge number of casual boxing fans.
