From Fat Dan

[Outworn]

A busy morning has caused me to hereby raise the #MayweatherPacquiao threat level to red. There is severe risk this fight will be finalized.

If #MayweatherPacquiao is gets done PPV will be 3 bouts. Main event & Top Rank & Mayweather Promotions each make 1 fight of their choice.

Also if #MayweatherPacquiao gets done price of PPV will be greater than usual but I am told the exact price has not been set yet.

JMM-Rios is actually a good option JMM waited around long enough for something halfway decent to pop.

I don't mind the higher price and I don't mind 1 less fight on the ppv telecast (I assume there will be a bigger preshow than normal). However if they are going to put 3 fights on the ppv telecast, I would like to see a corresponding rise in quality of the under card fights. That might be asking a lot but I honestly wouldn't mind paying more for less as long as the quality was better.

This i was actually afraid of esp. as i saw the estimated purse rise from 200 to 250 mil over the past month i began to wonder if there would be any money left for a quality undercard, and with the each promotion picking one fight deal im really worried this event wont be taken advantage of correctly for Boxing, I'd prefer a 4 fight card still but ill take one fight less if the quality is there, each ppv telecast fight should be main event worthy on a regular HBO/Showtime card

like you said lets hope there is a nice preshow with undercard fights

let just get it done, I have no problem with a 3 fight PPV (rather it be 4 figths) but if great fights are made then hell yeah, only thing that sucks is come on Mawyeather promotions have garbage fighters, so one of the 3 fights are gonna be a garbage match like jleon love vs TBA or bardou jack vs TBA.

Main event?

[Scott9945]

The Mayweather-DLH PPV had only three matches. The undercard seemed to drag on forever with the waiting between fights.

Even at 40, injured, and past it, Marquez would slaughter Brandon Rios. He might hit the canvas once, but he'd mess Rios up for life in return.

Real talk, Marquez is going to make him look like a punching bag again. Get ready for another crying post fight Rios.

The only fight casuals care about is the main event, the rest is just leftovers for hardcore fans, whatever the quality.

Rios will be headed straight to the "Knick" if Marquez gets his hands on him....

poor Dan, can't help but crack up everytime he's referred to as "Fat" Dan. Please guys, enough fat jokes, we need to give Dan Rafael a break of that kitkat bar!
