Funny how mayweather INTENTIONALLY drained canelo to 152 lbs but will fight leprechaun at 154,& yet all these floydiefans act like that win meant anything. This is the same clown whos now undercutting boxings biggest ppv for this gayness.

After the Ward fight my piggy bank is for GGG vs Canelo.

Who sells more ppv though mayweather fight or canelo fight?

I Sense Some Aprehension with Showtime and UFC: They see the Backlash

I'm not saying it won't sell, but this fight has something the Manny v Floyd fight didn't, that's a huge amount of backlash in boxing. I don't recall hearing so many negative comments before the manny fight. This one has some if the same backlash the Berto fight did.

First, a good portion of casuals will be remembering the Manny dud and how Floyd fights. Second, they'll keep hearing about it for the next two months. For every moron who claims this is a real fight (notice White is trying hard to convince people Conor has a shot) there will be someone to remind Floyd will pull off another uninspiring dud that leaves fans hating that they paid.

I know of only one boxing fan of the dozens who will not be willing to pay for this. Many of them buy them the ppv but won't touch this at all. They are counting on casuals and mma fans to eat this up, but they can't stop the steady ****** of people calling this a mismatch. So I think that will drain some of this.

It will do well, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did anywhere between 1m and 3m. Honestly, if this fight were to flop and anything under 2m is a flop considering what they'll be paying each fighter and the hype they are pushing on casuals.

This fight very well could be hyped to hell and in the process people keep getting told they're gonna be disappointed and pay for a no action fight.

But well it's likely to sell well enough, and cause casuals to abandon the sport for good. Another reason Floyd's era was just bad for boxing.

This is like listening to the pimp explaining to the trick how many positions you're going to get put in.

This fight won't do anywhere near the 3-4 million ppv's their expecting.
This fight will do around 1.2-1.3 million ppv's, tops!
Still good but not what their expecting.
That's right, you heard it from me first!

[R8ters]

Hey why not say 1 to 5 million or **** 1 to 10 mill
Really your gap is 1 to 3? That's obvious ������... man you had me fooled that it was a well thought out comment.

Hey since we wanna sound smart speaking out of our ass here something that makes sense.

The fight won't sell more then 1.5! Mcgregor antics might sell it to more. But nah, it's a bull **** fight. I'll put my money on mayweather winning by desicion because he a ***** and he wins every round by rouning circles. And I really mean he wins every round.
I'll put all my money on that.

It'll do more than that. Conor's trash talking skills are insane.
