too many people saw russell get clowned by loma for this fight to have much oomph, at least that was the reason i barely paid attention

Haymon Mafia!!

Showtime is getting pimped out by Pimp Daddy Haymon. Espinoza is a big Ho who doesnt care much about the fights he pays for. The only reason i still have showtime is because of Shameless! Boxing is dead in showtime. lets thank Daddy Haymon for that one

Gonzalez Russell and Chavez Fonfara - both fights have major promotional issues. Seems like if there's a chance of a lawsuit Haymon feeds the fight to Showtime.

Well, for starters, it was a fuggn PPV on DirecTV, in California. So I didn't watch...

What were Nonito's numbers for his last fight? How about his numbers for the Walter's fight? What about Leo Santa Cruz? What were the numbers for Loma vs. Salido? What about Rigo's last fight? Do any of these little guys do much better than 500,000? This is sincerely a question, not sarcasm.

It feels like Boxing is 100% all about Mayweather vs Pacquiao right now and the rest just doesn't matter. At least that is the Vibe you get

Wasn't really much hype leading up to this fight, wasn't many threads about this fight leading up to it either

I feel the same way too. There's some good fights in April and a lot of good fights in May but they're going to get overlooked because of the super fight.

Donaire/Walters: 1.1M AVG, 1.166M Peak

Loma/Salido: 1.02M peak

I actually have a half-written article on this theory. It's not unlike the late winter/early spring schedule in 2007 leading into Mayweather-de la Hoya. It's a shame... but then fans demanded this fight, so this is the cost (among other actual co$t$).
