Pacquiao-Marquez - Where's the Buzz?

Lazarus · 11-09-2011, 10:25 AM

Has this fight got very little buzz surrounding it?

I actually thought this was next week, but no, it's 3 days away. Normally even with every other Pacquiao fight, there is more buzz, but even being the trilogy of Pacquiao-Marquez, it's nothing more, if not less.

Just me, or does anyone else feel the same? I've been fairly disappointed with the build-up and the 24/7's have been the poorest yet, for me.

For once I agree with Laz.

I'm not particularly interested, aside from the fact I enjoy watching these two fight, but I'm not really looking forward to them fighting each other this late.

Marquez shouldn't be above 135lbs, I don't care what people say about the difference in size not being that great, JMM is plain sluggish and not the fighter he is at a lower weight. Coupled with the fact this is a different Pacquiao(the improvement is overstated a tad, but he's still a much-refined, great fighter) makes me view it as Manny's third ''meh'' fight in a row.

There is no fight appart from Floyd.........hence taking on all the people floyd has fought in his previous fight......manny will probs face ortiz next at this rate.......

It's got a massive buzz for me personally. I've been spending most of this week watching their old fights with each other and to see how they've progressed over the last 8 years.

They're probably my 2 favourite active boxers and it's probably the one I want to see more than Pacquiao/Mayweather in a way because it's more likely to be another great matchup.

Plus it's my birthday Saturday which I don't generally celebrate anyway but this is kind of a present

HBO have put up a few decent youtube videos as usual as well

Why, i must admit the Pacquiao stuff is boring, we see that shit every time. The Marquez stuff is refreshing, would like to see more

venusdiablo · 11-09-2011, 10:37 AM

I'm sure you will all start getting the buzz when from tomorrow you can watch the two previous Pac v Marquez fights free on Primetime!

I actually think more people are interested in this fight than it may appear from what I'm seeing this end

No offence Venus but I already have those fights.. in HD

Not even bothered watching the 24/7. Two great fighter but as Jpab has said Juan has no business at the weight. From the time it was announced I really wasn't that interested. Would of preferred to see the two of them fight contenders at their own weight than this.

Will still be watching though.

Just same old same old really mate.

Well the fact its being shown on Primetime and not Sky Sports doesn't help create the buzz for us lot in the UK. If it was being shown by Sky Sports we'd of had build up on Ringside and Sky Sports News to help create the buzz.

its what happens when fight are on Primetime.
