A Floyd-manny Rematch Wouldn't Do Big Numbers

[mathed]

Pacquiao could knock Bradley out, but I don't see how that would change anything. Bradley has almost been knocked out repeatedly, recently, and the fact that he beat Rios doesn't really mean much. I guess that's the plan to trick people into buying the Mayweather rematch.

Bradley will beat him this time.....Arum knows it.

Floyd's name alone could get 900k buys. A rematch would do no less than 2 million IMO.

Small numbers for them is still way more than anybody in the sport could pull

what makes people so confident that a rematch would be a huge event?

Many people felt cheated out in the original match due to the lack of action. I'm not convinced that they're silly enough to think manny can become Maidana

Compared to what? The original fight? Maybe not. It would still outsell any other fight by a country mile and do crazy big numbers. All the idiots would buy into the fake injury excuse and think it'll be different.

It would look exactly the same, Floyd clearly outboxing him again with Manny looking lost, but it would still be watched by a huge amount of people hoping for something different.

Mayweather Vs Pacquiao is like a really bad movie that was bound to become a franchise with sequels, but then the studio cancels it due to poor sales and bad reviews and reboots the whole thing with new actors a few years later.

Usually tho, if it got bad reviews but did well at the box office, they will keep churning them out in regards to actual movies. But in the fight game, if the review is bad -- you're not getting an encore despite it selling like hot cakes in May.

This thing would flop badly. Curious fans would looks for ways to watch it for free, or read the results online, or watch the replay. I would love for it to happen. I bet it does no better then the Andre Berto fight. Not because of lack of interest due to a unknown opponent (like Berto) but because fans would protest with their wallets collectively.

Of course it will. They are still the 2 biggest stars in boxing.

That said. This rodeo is over. No need for a 2nd fight.

Pac won it with a torn rotator cuff, a healthy Pac mops him easy even with all the peds Floyd can inject in himself.

No need for a part 2.

It doesn't have to do huge numbers again. It can do 1/5th the numbers it did last time and it be worth it to them.

In a rematch I think Floyd would start round 1 cautiously to see if manny has any new tricks.

Then he'd turn it up throughout the fight and beat manny like he did in round 11 of the original.
