Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Talks, Kizer: Mayweather-Ortiz Lacks Buzz

[peplz]

Do you find it interesting that Ronnie or BS haven't covered the Pacquiao/VisionQwest debacle?

I find it quite interesting but also obvious as to why at this point. Fighthype is a true threat to the boxing media mafia that has existed for the last 10 years at least. And commentators like Gus Johnson from Showtime are also a major threat to the boxing media mafia. Fighthype actually tries to report the facts and Johnson actually celebrates the sweet science of boxing instead of always giving a slanted view to the audience of the notion that an exciting fight/fighter is a brawl/brawler. What is really so weird is how Skip Bayless from ESPN (Who seems to have some weird blood lust for Mayweather) and his team of flunkies keep asking "Why won't Floyd fight Pacquiao" and keep coming up with all of these wild theories that they either formulated in their own minds or they overheard someone at their local bar say. But they never mention the drug testing situation. They act as if it doesn't even exist. Its one thing to say that you don't believe Mayweather's reasoning is legit and another thing to ignore the issue completely. Its almost as if they made some kind of agreement with someone in Pacquiao's camp (Bob Arum) or have been given orders from high up in the company to never mention the drug testing when they pose the obviously disingenuous question of "why won't Floyd Mayweather fight Pacquiao?". Because they know that the question could be easily answered with another question. "Why won't Manny Pacquiao take the random blood tests?" But its still quite interesting to me that they totally ignore the issue instead of just simply stating how they feel about it.

Really? Last time I checked the little press conference they had in LA had 1000+ people there, thats sounds like quite a high buzz to me... anytime a Mexican fights Floyd Mayweather the fight WILL do well. no question.. Just Ronnie being Ronnie like that ******* he is.. I'm willing to bet it out sells Pacquiao vs Marquez, even Manny said it himself just last year that he didn't think anyone would be interested in watching them fight again...

they all have mexican fighters to sell the fights,,,,mayweather/ortiz will do good i mean look who else is fighting,superstar canelo will be on ppv if i'm not mistaken,i'm not calling him a super fighter,but superstar which he is,that alone will help a lot with the ppv,not to mention another guy who does well in erik morales,mayweather has a lot of help here,a lot,we all know the mexican fans buy ppv,thats a fact,put mayweather alone with non hispanic fighters on the undercard and lets see how he does...he has two guys on there that are proven sellers,huge huge for mayweather..plus they chose a great day for the fight..another plus

Nobody talking about Floydie's sparing date with the old past prime girltiz. The Wapacman is fighting the real young and prime time Marquez coming off the knock out of the century win that made wifebeater run for da hills. Floydie now scared of Marquez too so the Pacman is now fighting piss drinker cause chickenweather is ducking da best.

One of the dumbest comments I have ever seen ......

Good thing PAC is a fighter and not a talk show host.... Maybe some of u guys are different but when I watch boxing I watch 2 guys fight not talk.

Wait a minute, I thought he was a game show host. Lol.

FYI, Floyd vs Mosley did over 1.4 million buys (which is more than what manny did vs mosley). BTW, with no Mexican opponent. I'm just sayin.

[MrRolltide91]

well ortiz isn't well known to casual fans

just wait till 24/7.

[MrRolltide91]

Marquez weak chinned? Are you kidding me? IMO the only reason why Mayweather/Ortiz hasn't any hype is because nobody knows who Ortiz is right now. Once 24/7 gets up and running, the hype is going to blast out like a rocket. The only reason why Mayweather/Mosley was hyped months out is because of their history and Mosley is well known. And whoever thinks Pac/Marquez 3 isn't going to be hyped is a dumbass. Based on the first two fights alone, Pac/Marquez 3 is getting at least 900K - 1M PPV buys.

i don't know if its true or not

but i heard that ortiz and oscar are supposed to do an interview on piers morgan

[GRUSTLER]

I'll bet 1 Mil points that Floyd/Ortiz does bigger #'s than Pac/Marquez.

Way more people are talking about Pac-Marquez, Froch-Ward and Cotto-Marg than Floyd-Ortiz.

Floyd fights like a snack which makes you sleepy whereas Pacquiao is like a 5 course meal.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! so you have to combine 3 fights to top PBF vs Ortiz? Where's the ****ing buzz about Cotto-Marg, except for news sites/2 treads on NBs talking about Cotto's re'tarded Pac-man tactics with the CW and the second weigh-in? Froch-Ward? GTFO! only hardcore fans care about that fight. Thousand of people standing in lines for hours just to see the press conference in July. Friends from Sweden where I live talks about this fight and they never watch boxing. Hugely embarrassing post! I'm a Pac fan but there are only one word for a guy like you. *******!
