Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports says Mayweather/Marquez up to 1.6 million PPV

[KILLA RIGHT]

too bad they had to resort to the showing it in theaters to up their ppv total.

hahahaha wtf man your just a hater this is good for boxing

Tell me how crazy it would be if Floyd pretty much dominated the entire fight, but then got severely hurt in the 11th and was on wobbly legs and holding on for the last round and the win? Most dramatic **** ever. I hope some **** like that happens. No **** but I dream of that kind of scenario to set up some ultimate rematch.

That sort of storyline rights itself dude. "Did Floyd really deserve that win, can Pac land a punch like that again, who is REALLY the better fighter." Actually, I change my mind I don't want to see this fight. The board will be frozen for about a week.

Floyd is cool and all, but it's utterly crazy to say he deserves all the credit for these PPV numbers, if they are even true of course. I can assure you the most talked about thing before the fight was Marquez drinking piss, and they hyped this fight to death, ask yourself without the 24/7 without any of the promotional tricks Golden Boy did, would this fight be anywhere near as big as it wants? Plus I can honestly say, most of those buys probably came from Mexican and Mexican American households...people usually buy Mayweather fights to see him lose lol

Mexicans love boxing....

The board? Negro the internet is gonna crash. Literally. I mean that **** is going to crash and burn for about a week. Millions of cyber nerds will die.

IMO there is no way that this fight doesn't eventually happen, as long as they both win their next bouts (and if Floyd even has another one).

[Pullcounter]

sounds like bull****.

no way it did 1.6 mill...

really? This is what boxing needsd they need to have promoters like oscar who are willing to promote the **** out of the fight. What you want them to do sit on their ass? Yes people buy ppv to see floyd lose and thats what he is trying to do and guess what it works

[Jone2ts]

Floyd is a draw like it or not, people will pay 50 to see him lose...some wont even pay 50 to watch there guy win but will pay it to see him lose. Floyd stacks bank and the seats looked full to me there as well.

[Heru]

Are you SURE about that, champ?

I don't know if he is, but I am. He's telling the truth. That fight and Cotto-Clottey are tied in ratings for 09. I think Marquez-Diaz fits somewhere around there too.

I don't get it. Lol

Shane would implode if he has to wait even more. Mosley is even getting out of character and wants the fight now and he isn't getting it.

You imagine if Mayweather fought Pacquiao and they had an immediate rematch? The man would go nuts.

Yea man I never said I was against promoting a fight to the extreme. Obviously that is how you get into the mainstream public. I am just trying to say Mayweather deserves credit, but not 100% like many people are trying to make it seem...
