    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.
    man if they had pac-jmm 5 on may3 mayflower would not sale any ppv's vs khan you should already know Mexicano's make froid rich and they wouldn't give a damm about him if theres a better fight to watch that day

      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
      You realize Golden Boy can stack there card alot better than Top Rank can they put Ortiz vs Guerrero,Mare vs Gonzalez 2 , Broner vs Maidana 2 they have plenty of options and Chavez Jr isn't in the same zip code of a draw as Floyd it would be a losing battle.

        IMO, they're just throwing money away unless they can get some really cheap fighters. Plus neither promotional company would try to do that to each other.

          That wouldn't work because Pacquiao's buys actually have dropped and that's without having a competing ppv going head to head with him. He's got no negotiating leverage no matter what he does.

          Losing money just to spite Floyd like this is ****** and bad business.

            you do realize that no they cant,,, the costs would be astronomical,,, you want them to have 3 big fights on the undercar,,, plus 32 million for floyd and 6 mil for khan,,
            There is no way those fights happen on the undercard,, maybe one of them but def not all 3,,

            Chavez may not be a big draw compared to floyd, but he would def steal the mexican fan base, and that could cost floyd 200-400k buys
            Dont doubt Chavez's drawing power with his fan base
