Perhaps if more people copied how he marketed himself then we'd have more interest in the sport.

Originally posted by Eastcoast View PostI'm not sure a rematch happens if both sides took a substantial loss. Yeah they make more in a rematch, but do they break even for the rematch? Do they break even for the sum total of both fights? There's a chance the rematch puts them both deeper in the hole.
Good business might dictate they go back to sucking on HBO's tit with easy fights for moderate pay and hope to build interest in a future rematch. I hope to hell not.

Originally posted by Mr. Stark View PostEven a bias Mayweather fan like yourself has to admit, the Pacquiao vs Mayweather did do major damage when it came casuals. Majority were turned off after watching that fight and PPV numbers have been down ever since.
Had the fight been ALi/Frazier 1 level, you think that would increase sales in fights without them? If so, why?
Boxing was supposedly dying and then Floyd set 3 new PPV sales records with ODH, Canelo and Manny. If we get another mega crossover star like Floyd, Tyson or ODH, and then great HOF stars for them to face like Tito, Manny and Holyfield I thnk you will see a growth in numbers.

Originally posted by bojangles1987 View PostIf that's true, it's proof positive why boxing sucks. The fans would rather pay for garbage fights than an excellent one. Hope you all enjoyed watching two great fighters in the ring together, because it probably won't happen again for a while.
It didn't help that was 2 weeks after fans had paid for Manny-Vargas.
How many times have there been 2 PPV's in the same month?
