Comments Thread For: Schaefer: This is The Highest Grossing PPV of All-Time

[Pocket Dogs!]

Exactly, all gb have is Floyd, who really does not belong to them, gb make little off him

Richard is scum, just pretending gb. Are doing well when they are nothing in terms of stars atm

Oscar, Floyd and pac all made by arum, remember that

How are gb leading lol, they have no ppv star

As for ppv comment, he said Floyd vs Mosley would do 3m lol

This is actually false. Arum already got Pac when Pac was a star. Pac was brought up by Murad Muhammad and when Pac was being ripped off he went to Gary Shaw/Shelley Finkel. Pac only became Arum's boy after the third Erik Morales fight.

This event is going to be epic. Im hearing about it everywhere.. they are really advertising this fight. Im going to a mexican bar to watch this one so I can drink shots of tears after its over.

this is another one.

On the eve of the fight? I'd bet never...

that's actually true.

sure pac was a star in boxing circles but he didnt become mainstream until arum got his hands on him.

He became a mainstream house hold name under arum not murad muhammad.

Which media guys would you suspect are in Top Rank's pocket?

Thomas Hauser and who else?

I don't know if it will beat the highest number of buys but it might beat the highest money grossed only because it cost about 20$ more than the Delahoya vs May fight..

I think Steve Kim. A lot of people suspect him of being a Top Rank homer.

Funny how when Golden Boy's front man talk about the money a fight involving Floyd is going to make it's just business. But let Floyd talk or show that money and the haters come out like roaches in a McDonald's kitchen....

Bradley-Marquez & Provo-Alvarado are no doubt 2 great fights. pac-rios is decent. Top Rank is making the most of what they have. GBP has a better roster and will have to keep making the good fights to stay ahead of the game cuz Arum has staying power. The boxing world is split in 2 right now and Arum has all the connections GBP doesn't have & vice versa.

The Cotto fight will be interesting, just to see how much left Miguel has in the tank. Crawford is coming along nicely and the Mikey Garcia card is very solid. HBO also has some other really good match ups, involving Stevenson, Klitschko, and GGG coming up in the Fall. And Chavez Jr is always entertaining, despite his limited skills.

Just have to wait and see. This has definitely turned into a tremendous event though.
