Wow...since Saturday this has been watched nearly 600,000 times on Youtube. I cant think of any other fight that comes close to that number of Youtube views. Either way people were obviously very interested in this fight.
its because of the result. he lost his 0. If it were to happen to Floyd there'd be millions. Everyone would want to see how he lost his 0 too. Having people who hate you pay to see you lose is a great marketing plan, the only thing is when you finally do lose it backfires
Broner should think about selling his "zombiewalk" action dolls too (security action figures sold seperately). Might be a hit. (much better as the Broner brushes that didn't sell) http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1967557/21.gif
I think they could have kept this as a PPV. It may not have gotten Pacman or Mayweather money, but it would have made them some. This fight was very interesting!
I thought Broner-Maidana/Thurman-Jesus Human Carcass was PPV? I don't have Shotime so I wouldn't know and never bothered to look into the pay/free status of the fight because I was gonna wait till it came to youtube regardless.
