Top rank should do a show on May 5th

[Luilun]

Same night as khan-Floyd just to lower PPv buy rates and hbo can stick it to showtime..

On hbo have jmm vs rios/ruslan

I would have Triple G many would chose him over Fraud

[Kagami Taiga]

Lol that would be a horrible idea. Doesn't matter who Floyd fights, he is the king of boxing rite now whether u like it or not.

[Russian Crushin]

That would also hurt their numbers as well. Hurting yourself out of spite is bad business practice

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Alot of good comments,,

Maybe make it a super cheap card using all the youngsters like lomo, verdijo, etc

If Top rank put on all their prospects if Shobox caliber fights, it wouldnt cost them much,, probably 500k for 4 fights, they might give hardcore fans a reason not to buy the ppv,,

Object for Top Rank would be to lower floyd's ppv buys so when negotiations for the manny fight come, bob can say floyd's ppv is not as good as it was, and has dropped..

I know this is just my imagination, thinking floyd-manny would actually negotiate

Top Rank should make Chavez Jr vs Froch. I would buy that over Mayweather vs Khan. Now that's a real Cinco De Mayo main event. I think Carl would like this and stick it to Khan.

And any Mexicans that were even remotely thinking of buying the Floyd fight would certainly choose JCC Jr over Floyd...that's really the only guy besides Canelo that could do any kind of damage to May weathers numbers.

Only putting Manny on May 3rd would put a dent in Floyd's number and they still won't do that. Anybody else they would have to sell ringside seats for $50 for people to show up. Floyd vs whoever May 3rd will still do better business than other PPV outside of Floyd other PPV and I will put a ringside seat on it.

Put Marquez against Rios on the undercard and it's a done deal.

It's a dumb move, not even Dana White would put his most stacked UFC PPV against a Mayweather fight.


However, I really hope the hypothetical mismatch that is May-Khan completely bombs, the fight doesn't even deserve to be hosted on Cinco De Mayo. Mexicans aren't gonna go buy that shit.

If they moved chavez-vera 2 to may 3rd night,, that would def put a dent in the numbers for showtime

Sad to say but Chavez jr is a huge draw, and could do it,,,

I dont think it would be as bad as people say,, we had serg-chavez the same night as canelo-lopez,, its happened before, so HBO and Top rank should return the favor,,,
Put mike lee vs roy jones on the undercard to really bring in the masses and get people talking
