For all you weirdos who were so concerned about a press conference.

the man people complaining that there wasn't going to be one complained that the first ones were corny

i was fully on board the broner hype train until he fought paulie. Paulie was the first to expose his low output.
I got off that train just in time...😂

HOORAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!🎉🎊🎉

THE FIGHT IS SAVED!!!!!

I don't think anyone was upset about it. Most were just saying it was dumb not to have one.

Which it was. And that's why they've fixed it.

Arum: We don't need a press conference - Brits don't understand America. They'll be on the college football broadcasts.

Arum after the college football broadcasts generated no buzz whatsoever: We're having a press conference.

Haha yes that fight turns many into softies momentarily. Probably the first one that had that effect on me.

This!

It’s the tradition of the sport and it can only help attract public interest in the fight. No one said the fight would fail if there wasn’t one but we definitely felt like it would be a missed opportunity to build up some real buzz and interest in the fight amongst the general public.

OP thinks that anyone that agreed with Hearn is a matchroom fanboy. Meanwhile he said all that matters is that hardcore fans are aware, as if half the dudes on here have any intention of paying for this fight or any fight.

Edit: OP has now put me on ignore, lol these sensitive NSB posters man. Anyway I will be buying this fight just like I bought the first one, I'm hearing Sky have the rights to this fight.

A press conference makes little difference. This fight didn’t NEED one to make it a success is my point. As a fan it doesn’t bother me either way.

Please quote where I said that...

I was actually at the first fight and paid for a floor seat. You?

Mayweather-Pacquiao is the biggest PPV of all time, every press conference was a non event. Press conferences can be fun but the success of PPV are not dependent on them in the slightest.

Then why are they having one?

Arum was already clear that he's happy not to have one. So it's nothing to do with tradition.

Probably because PBC wanted one...

No fight/event needs a press conference, they are just the most formal way to engage with the media.
