Uh, no.

They'll be lucky if it does more than 350,000.

I understand that Arum isn't supposed to come out and say "the fight is crap and it's gonna flop," but what he's projecting still sounds like extreme wishful thinking. 300K is a more realistic number IMO.

Here's to hoping that it does do those numbers, or even better for that matter. Any shot in the arm for boxing is OK with me.

I say at least 500,000

If I read it correctly, did he just askTrump to offend the Hispanic community again to help get more views? Oh, that is so sad.

Not good for boxing IMHO, sets a precedent for more ****ty fights in the future.

It's intriguing on paper because we don't know what Manny has lost, or what Bradley has gained (if at all). This fight could end up being very good. At least let it happen before you declare it crap lol

Last time he fought a bobody (c. algieri) he made 350. After all these f--ag issues and it's being the 3rd fight we can say it'll make around 300.

Nobody wanted to see this pointless rematch. Only thing really interesting is seeing how much Pacqauio has left
