Floyd wants Erik Morales On May 5!

Hmm turns out 500,000 was the 2nd best for Jones on PPV and the 3rd best for Tito...it was seen as a success and went above expectation...

how does that become a fact when there is no proof nor are there irrefutable indications that that will happen 100%? man you are shitting all over the place. better drink them medications now.

 

:think does Floyd and 50 have matching tattoos

 

but would 24/7 alone really help sell a gigantic mismatch in Morales-Mayweather?

don't forget Mayweather's PPV buys dropped from Mosley to Victor Ortiz. And Morales beating Pacquiao ages ago wouldn't be enough to help sell a fight with Floyd in 2012

Mayweather-Pacquiao is the fight people want to see, and Morales-Floyd in 2012 would be a terrible constellation prize.

well 12,000 or so fans in an area that seats over 20,000 is pretty terrible

**they're only saying that to sugar coat it. They probably expected 1 Million buys, so to get half that with a faded Trinidad fighting way above his natural weight class would be a success

 

Floyd's been on a streak of facing fighters coming off big wins or ranked highly in the current standings. Morales is an ATG, but, he is WAY past prime. It won't happen. I expect Top Rank to pull a stunt like this. Floyd couldn't get away with it, at this point.

If true...I sure as hell wouldn't support it.

 

Mayweathers PPV dropping is because the casuals barely knew of Ortiz, I bet more casuals know of Morales than Ortiz and Ortiz doesn't have the same religous following of Morales. Morales brings in a huge number of Mexicans, again something Ortiz doesn't.

24/7 would help more than you'd imagine, they will "re-write" the record books and paint him as a legend not a faded former all time great. The public are idiots and buy solely on name value.

Why would they have expected 1million when only a handful of fights (and no fights of Jones' and only 1 fight of Tito's had broken the million marker before)? It was the 3rd best result of the year behind only Floyd fights (Hatton and De La Hoya). Why do you get the feeling they expected the combination of Tito's 2nd best and Jones' best? It was around 100k LESS than Jones v Ruiz as Jones was NEVER a PPV mega star.

 

they seem to enjoy each others company.
