The question for casual boxing fans is: Without this being a tune up for a Pacquio fight, why should they care about Mayweather vs Guerrero, much less pay for it?
Most people on this board are going to watch no matter how good or bad the promotion is, but that isn't what brings in the PPV buys.
Both Mayweather and Pacquio have benefited from their potential matchup being part of the national sports conversation. Without that being a possibility, what else does Guerrero bring for the non boxing enthusiast?
Not sure if Golden Boy or Showtime has really answered that question. Their best hope is to get a lot of fight day buzz and hope the casual viewing audience bites. We might hear some outlandish things come fight week....
