Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Shatters Record, 4.4 Million Buys

[smartstyle]

paquaio stand to make 10x more than mayweater! wow!

[turnedup]

In other words expect a rematch even if they have to drag both fighters into the ring kicking and screaming, or even in rocking chairs. Again ain't no losers when everybody is making megamillion jackpot paydays...even if it does half this that's still a second huge payday for both. Mayweather will be done with his contract and showtime this fall, by the time pacquaio heals up and is ready to fight again it's one less pocket in the way collecting a cut. Name the event "No excuses" and voila people ready to throw money at it again.

I can see this happening

Let's do it again, if Mayweather knows he beat Pac easy, why not go along with the injury stuff. Don't think I believe it myself, but it's easy money. Don't know if the rematch does these numbers, but if they can sell the injury to the public, then I think it can do good numers.

4.4 million people got ripped off!

I thought it was 5.5 did showtime recover it losses after this fight ?

At the end of the day, was the event a success.... HELL YEA? Was the fight? No the sparring session wasn't but the job was done. Both fighters made ridiculous amounts of money so really there were no losers.
I just can't see why there won't be a rematch, both have HUGE followings and will always watch either fighter no matter what.

Records are meant to be broken, but this fight was sought after for about 5 to 6 years of build-up. I highly doubt the anticipation would be the same for any 2 of the best boxers down the road.
If the fight did live up to the hype though, and Pacquiao squeezed out a controversial decision...the rematch would have been huge as well. But it didn't so the rematch would probably sell 2.5 mill which is still amazing

[Easy Work.]

ALL MAJOR websites rescored the fight and saw Pacquiao winning. Deal with it.

Even floyd said "He was injured so the fight didnt count. I'll wait until he is a 100% so he can give me the rematch to prove myself"

what a troll. Even youre hero GGG praised floyds win
