    Now that Floyd brought it up...

    Reading on ********* how Floyd is upset with Zab for not doing his part in promoting there April 8 showdown got me thinking a bit-**** n a...where the **** is the buildup? (I understand most of the luster is gone but there is still a thing called money to be made)

    Has anyone seen a commercial for this fight? Has anyone gotten a mailer for this fight? Has this fight been prmoted properly? ****-I got Tarver v. Jones 3 shoved up my ass!

    Neither Zab or Floyd has ever carried a PPV card...Floyd had Gatti last go around and this time he has a ****head who hasnt provided anything in terms of promoting this fight. Does Floyd get a chance to see his true market value when the PPV numbers come in? Is Floyd already being told not to expect much which is why he is blaming Zab?

    Is it possible that this fight does less then 150K buys?

      I have seen a few commercials and there is a chain of sports bars called Winghouse that shows all PPV fights they have it on all there billboards and all over the stores.I mean thats just here but I think it is fairly well known that this fight is taking place and I would be willing to wager it does at least 300k buys.

        Zab stated when the fight was signed that he would not be doing any interviews, involved in the promotion or anything else. He wants to excuses for this fight.

              Zab has been training in the mountains of Russia for this fight and he has been listening exclusively to the ROCKY 4 soundtrack.

                  We have had several people watch him in the gym down in Florida and I hear that Zab is looking great, sparring for 12 rounds straight and busting his ass. He knows its now or never.
