[MiscBrah]

maybe that will help cause there is absolutely no hype and excitement for this fight. I mean I just realized the fight is next week.

Lol!! People say this everytime mayweather fights since I can remember, nothing but haters just wishing failure on another person, I swear some of you be having wet dreams at the thought of his ppv bringing in 500k buys....

. There's billboards all over southern California promoting the fight, have heard many people talk about watching it

1.7 Million for a major national network is a joke

NASCAR kicked FRAUDS A$$!!!

I would be shocked this fight do over 700K on PPV.

Could it be the Public, is HEP to the FRAUDULENT One???

Watched about half of it, it was nauseating.

It was a great fluff piece for Floyd but the question that they need to answer for the casual viewer is:
Without this being a tune up for a potential Pacquiao match up, a fight that was part of the national sports conversation for years, why should they care about Floyd Guerrero, much less pay a premium for it?
Not sure if they have answered that question for casual viewers.
When you know all about the A side, then its up to the B side to sell the fight.
Not sure why they feel they need to introduce Floyd to mainstream America, anyone remotely interested in this fight has known about Floyd since the De L Hoya fight.
Maybe they feel he has a negative image amongst general sports fans and think that may hurt his numbers.

No Pacquiao-Mosley did a 0.3 rating (344,100 viewers)

That's 0.3 rating for the 18-49 adult demographic and i'm sure that's not how you calculate total viewers.

The Floyd fight got a 0.4

Time Net Show 18-49 Rating/Sh Viewers (millions)
8:00 FOX NASCAR (8-10PM) - Live 1.3/5 5.39
ABC Bet on Your Baby 0.6/2 2.55
NBC Smash 0.4/2 1.89
CBS Mayweather 0.4/2 1.73

Casuals have seen enough 24/7 type stuff on Mayweather (and Pac) to last a life time. They need to put live cards in primetime and promote them hard instead of pushing yet another PPV which the average person watching will never buy.

To put this in comparison, new episodes of Game of Thrones is getting 4+ million each episode and thats on HBO which is only in like 30 million homes in america

CBS is on every tv in america.
