Comments Thread For: Arum is Focused on Getting Pacquiao-Marquez Done

[TonyCa$h]

why would sales increase so dramatically over the 4th fight? just because manny is coming off a KO? The last fight didnt do more than manny/cotto and now its gonna gain another 100k plus purchases?

I don't know. But HBO will probably put a ton of money into marketing and promoting so maybe it will.

Pacquiao vs Marquez sales itself...its not mayweather vs guerrero on showtime

War PACMAN vs MARQUEZ...

then why didn't it outsell previous manny fights? why didn't it outsell floyd/jmm?

Its ok if you like manny/hate floyd. But the numbers show the fight didn't sell what Bob expected. The move to china allows them to price the seats higher because its a new thing.

I'm sure the fight will sell a mil ppv or close to it, especially if HBO has more resources available to market/promote the fight.

Yes, you are correct, the difference is people are fans of Pacman because of his style of fighting and never backing down from a brawl, its what people want to see a knockout or a scrap and they know pacman will come to fight.

Floyd people only pay to witness history, someone knocking him out or beating him to shut him up, once he loses his drawing power plummets big time, even the flowm0s will disappear they will do Floyd similar to how they did Roy, they were never real fans they only liked Floyd cause he was close to perfection once he has a blemish he is nothing to them.

perfection in his craft his record has nothing to do with it keep dreamin

I don't see any appeal to this fight. Time to move on.

Why not? they had just started fighting in a very exciting way.. and Pac who got KOed coldly will try to beat JMM in the most brutal way. Whereas JMM would defend not only his title but his legit wins against Pac to the last drop of his blood just to show his win was not just fluke! Forget their last 3 boring fights.. just hoping the next fireworks if Arums able to strikes a deal between the two camps!

So Mayweather plans on fighting in September probably the 14th and he has the venue. I think there is going to be a lot of heat from Canelo he is already guarantee the PPV date in September. So who is GBP going to side with Canelo or Mayweather looks like Canelo's going to get pushed a side again. Plus does Bob Arum go head to head with Mayweather on that date? He's not that ****** or is he?
