    learn to speak properly, then speak.

    and absolutely Top Rank should've been lead promoter. Arum has 50 years of experience promoting big fights and ellerbe? NEVER has mayweather promotions been lead promoter for anything and they get to be lead promoter for biggest fight ever? biggest joke out there.

    Ellerbe and MGM not even sorting out ticket sales and hotel rooms 3 weeks before the fight. Unbelievable.

    I do think fight would break records but that's the problem, they are settling for $1 when they can make $5. With a little more promotion, lower PPV cost (so non boxing fans will pay) and better organized ticket sales/hotel room arrangements, fight could generate much more.

    it's a testament to Arum's willingness to make thus fight that he allowed Mayweather to be lead promoter, an amateur promoter. But anyway, $$ will be there..

    *****'s really love to focus on these PPV #s. Its ridiculous, who cares if it breaks any records!? The sole reason of 80% of Floyd PPV buys are from people who want to see him get KTFO and because all of the previous ATGs retired and boxing fans are starving for elite level action. Floyd is really just in the right place at the right time. I guess if that makes you proud, that's your problem. lol

    ESPN talks about it regularly, I hear it talked about on sports talk radio (local, national, etc.), I read about it all over the place (in my local newspaper, online, on Twitter, on Facebook), something new every day.

    There is not a single sports fan in the United States who doesn't know about the fight. It's not suffering for lack of publicity.

    I don't think so either and I honestly don't think Floyd wants it to break anything, especially with his opponent being pac.

    he wants to keep the top 2 him v odh and canelo. he is sticking it to pac the way they aren't handling it

    the thing is that haymon can't touch this ****, he can't meddle in with the promotion because of ali act. it's all ellerbe and the man that can't read.

    haymon wants to collect his share as floyd's manager and that 26.75% of floyd's 120 mil. (that's over 30mil.)

    don't be naïve, the tickets, hotels all that bs for both teams are already handled long ago, arum is just *****ing because he has no say in this fight what so ever.

    they stated from the get go the public aren't being offered tickets, they said it might be 1k tickets for the public which is crazy. but that is how they are going to shatter the gate because they can ROB corp reps ridiculously. going to be a very poor audience and i'm not 100% sure Floyd even wants this to break any ppv just to be able to say SEE I sold more with other fighters.

    ego is out of control, I guess he has earned it

    I think this is right. ANd thats why floid is being quiet and not trash talking. Well and he is afraid he is going to get his ass beat.

    Do you think that they will show Floyd getting rocked by Shane and Pac getting knocked unconscious, AND show both guys best moments during these promos?

    I question any one who wants or needs to watch 24/7, All Access, or other promo material. Their 20 year careers aren't enough for you? Oh. You just haven't actually watched their fights. Gotcha.
