    It's Mayweather vs Guerrero.

    Floyd isn't Tyson, he can't fight a bum and do 1.25million buys. If the public feels Floyd's opponent has no chance against him then they're not going to buy it or show any interest in it.

      Showtime will need Floyd to get more people to watch, this is the same company who had all-access PAC vs JMM on CBS and Showtime, they need to get organize and show this program and tell people exactly what time its starts. (I still don't know what time they come on)

      Floyd hasn't had any new material for a while, but even HBO can get people to watch.

        It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Floyd, back at HBO in the future.

          1. The move to Showtime is most definitely going to hurt the ppv numbers due to less subscribers and weaker production, and history says this. See Pac..

          2. Mayweather refusing to do a press tour and no real kickoff, faceoff, or buzz.

          3. And Pac getting KO'd by Marquez and thus ending any chance at a Mayweather fight, and even if they do, people don't care as much. This hurts both May and Pac, and really PPV boxing in general. Mayweather, Haymon, and Ellerbe could not have timed out this new big guarantee any better than they did.

          4. Guerrero just not that great of a PPV attraction. If not for his Dad, I don't think anybody would care one bit about seeing Guerrero, other than the harcore fans. That said, I think it's an intriguing fight.

          Prediction for PPV = 1,050,000 - something similar to Mayweather vs. Marquez
          I think this will affect Floyd`s PPV #`s bigtime.

            One of the main things that doesn't help is that they are premiering these episodes in the middle of the week. They need to premiere these episodes after new episodes of their original programming. That would help them generate better numbers. On top of that, Showtime is owned by CBS. They need to ramp up the primetime exposure for this fight to get more casual fans interested.

                This is a guy who thought Rios beat Abril and who said Rigo didn't land any shots and I don't even follow him, this is just when people posted his links on other sites so God knows what else he claims. 67,000 is insanely low they get better ratings for Abril fights and I know there's more Floyd lovers than Abril fans.

                    Everyone knew Guerrero vs Mayweather was never going to be a big PPV fight.

                    Alot of people was saying that fight deserves to be a Showtime Championship Fight available to all subscibers Not PPV.

                    Not ever fight is PPV. This is what people have forgotten lately.

                      Thank you, I was dead wrong, it has been boring but I didn't think it would flop.
