    I think this is a bridge too far. Guerri was seen as a stat busy vs a Mexican fight to maintain a presence in the public eye. This is seen as a mismatch being attempted to be sold as a super fight and nobody is buying it. This fight was only viable with Kgan getting a few big Ws under his belt at WW or pre-Peterson.

    Danny Garcia curb stomped any idea of this fight being marketable. I'd actually like to see swift in with pbf

    Garcia is doing the right hing by staying bust and not rushing into a fight with Mayweather eventually they will fight and by the time it comes around it will be a bonafide superfight.

    Thats the fight I really want. I think Danny would do better than most.

    Hopefully sometime in 2015.

    I think the Garcia camp only take fights they are more or less certain if winning and tbf at this point that is the vast majority of his weight class. They brought him up at the right pace and its paying dividends. His performance against Lucas was magnificent.

    He beats anyone not named mayweather, pacquiao or Bradley IMO.

    Idk, he does best when people write him off. I could see him upsetting one of them.

    I dont see good numbers happening
    people should boycott it anyway, and saturate Floyd with the name 'pacquiao'

    Arum setting up that JMM/Alvarado + Gamboa/Garcia card that might eat into ticket sales for this fight. (Considering the May 5th crowd is usually geared towards a certain crowd)

    PPV sales will also prob slide a bit...

    It will do over a mil buys. Nobody really knew Guerrero and it did 890k buys. Many people know Khan so it will do over a mil

    People need to start Boycotting Pac fights. i dont mind the Bradley fight but theres nothing after. I'll boycott the hell out of Pac-Alavardo if thats what they want to do, time to man up

    Not everyone is as rich as YOU to order 2 PPV's in one month.
