    I believe it will, you have Cotto Fans, Mayweather Fans, Canelo Fans, Mosley Fans, all over this, not to mention Cinco de Mayo weekends any body with a Bar B Q Grill and friends ordered this fight. Any fans of those oredered the bout....


    People were talking about it this morning at the Bank of America in line at the branch here where I live, I overhead the teller talking to a Customer..... One redneck guy even went as so far as to say that he is now officially a Money Mayweather fan....That he was amazed how close Cotto was in in his face smother and still couldn't land cleanly most of his shots, shows a testament to Mayweathers agility, and timing...

    Naw, it'll do 1.5 or so which is massive and should be celebrated. I don't know why Schaefer spews this bull****, especially after the fight when it's too late to attract more buyers. Instead, he should be managing expectations.

    I don't think it will do a million, I think it'll probably do around 900k, horribly promoted...Bradley is a no name (definitely no draw), and the undercard is ****.

    Promotion hasn't really started. Top Rank will get some hype moving in the coming weeks using the angle that Bradley has a legitimate chance and that happens to be right.

    1.1MM buys, bank it.

    Undercard is **** as far as names but all three should be good fights IMO

    I agree. I feel it should be 50/50 as well. But with Floyd making more money and his fights consistently grossing more, I can understand why he feels like he deserves more. Pac just might as well go with it, which I believe he would have if it not for Bob Arum.

    I am guilty of skipping some mannys when he was fighting like clottey and margo.

    I just can't floyd's bc i will be damned if he lost and i didn't get to see it.

    No way! Pac is too big for that. If Floyd can do 1.25 with a no name like Ortiz then Pac should be able to do the same or at least break a milli.

    If not, that would be a defeat of EPIC proportions to Floyd and he better get on the phone and except that 40 million dollar offer while it is still available. If its still available by that time.:lol:
