    It should do over a million,considering all the video time they will air on CBS the next 3 weeks..

    The Mayweather training/stream has a quarter million views now..

    so floyd could actually get his promoters license, since the broadcaster can't, and save himself the promotional fee.

    haymon know this but he can't advice floyd to do so since he has a lot of fighters tied up with gbp.

    50 cent and tommy summers was right, haymon is not looking out for floyd's interest.

    So Robert hasn't earned the right to pursue greatness?

    C'mon folks it will sell and for many reasons. The hardcore fans wanna know how Floyd lookin in this fight because most likely it's the precursor to Mayweather-Alvarez and most likely Floyd will look spectacular as usual. But there's always that minimal chance that what seems like another hand picked opponent this one might be legit. There's no doubt Guerrero earned this. Just Floyd never giving us superfights in awhile or ever is a letdown.

    Regarding the Showtime vs Hbo saga right now Hbo is king, but Showtime boxing HAS the potential to be head to head with its rival, but will take sometime. Eerily similar to Gbp vs Top Rank we know who the top dawg is right now. Guerrero being Mexican American, had a spectacular recent performance against a top welter, making his own headlines whether negative or positive, and many wanting to see the controversial p4p king Floyd perform I think it should do at least a million.

    Ah, the double standards against Floyd continues. #1 mandatory? Non-dangerous opponent. Anybody else fights Robert? Great fight!

    :patsch

    Any fight where Floyd isn't expected to lose is a cherry pick. They don't want to see Floyd fight dangerous opponents. They want to see him lose.

    Robert went life and death in his last two I think it's normal for people to dislike this opponent IMO

    I think Guerrero is levels below Floyd and doesn't deserve the fight, but there is no one better available at 147....and that's why 147 is so weak.

    That's what it comes down to. The larger subscription base will make all of the difference.

    For all of the talk of cross-promoting the fight over CBS, that part of the promotion has been nonexistent up to this point.

    Would be a hell of a come up for Floyd if they bought out the rest of his contract after 1 or 2 fights for a lump sum of cash.

    i doubt floyd cares about his ppv numbers as long he gets his guaranteed money.
