Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia in Awe of Mayweather-Canelo Card

[Windmills]

And really and truly, which fight now has the more anticipation?

It really was a stroke of genius by GBP in waiting to announce Lucas vs Garcia because there was so much hype for canelo and mayweather on the press tours, then boom two weeks later they announce this, now the hype is back in full swing.

it's a great move, and boxing fans should be happy all the way around

I believe Garcia-Matthysse by itself would exceed Floyd-Guerrero.

In what? Ticket sales? Or PPV numbers? You'd be horribly wrong on both accounts.

Matthysse isn't a draw, just check the amount of people who went to the Mike Dallas Jr fight.

Yet people will still slam Golden Boy on here. The problem with boxing is Bob Arum and Top Rank, he refuses to work with Oscar and Shaeffer. We missed out on Pac vs Mayweather because of Arum.

How many would watch Pacquiao versus Mike Dallas?

A lot more than the 2,000 or so who saw Matthysse versus Mike Dallas.

It's unfair to compare Mathysse now to what he was even a few fights ago. He's generated a lot of attention because of his recent wins.

Don't underestimate fans' value for money. Matthysse-Garcia is an epic contest. I'm surprised a supposed knowledgeable boxing forum does not recognize this. The world does not revolve around Floyd & Manny.

stop it i bet most of the cheap basterds in here will be streaming this ppv and would've streamed garcia vs matthysse too

even morales vs pacquiao didn't do great numbers and they were bigger names than both of these guys were

We the hardcore fanbase know and respect Matthysse.

But the casual fan has no clue who he is. So it's preposterous to think that at this moment he can outdo a Mayweather fight. It's not even in the realm of possibility.

Therein lies the problem. Are you watching Matthysse? Or an epic contest?
