    Tentatively, yes.

    But it's a good question.

    Moving it to 9/19 will give it some desperately needed "mega-fight" atmosphere.

    not really.

    i mean, do you consider a somewhat mismatch, low tickets sales & having to postpone it a real "mega fight" that the people wanna see?

    dont get me wrong, i'm gonna pay to see b/c i'm a fan of both but to the overall public, naw.. theres just no mega fight buzz.

    besides, floyd is gonna absolutely spank marquez.

    hmmm.... kind of

    two of boxing biggest and best

    but its an unfair fight which heavily detracts from it being a mega fight

    and ticket sales were awful

    so it kind of is and kind of isnt

    IMHO, it is a mega-fight. They are both marquee names. However I still think is a little mis-match though. Just my opinion though...

    Defo a mega fight.
    JMM trying to accomplish a huge feat & Mayweather coming back.
    It has soap opera written all over it.

    Who has more?

    I kind of agree, but then again, not all BIG fights have the unbeaten former P4P #1 squaring off against the current P4P #2. What this fight doesn't have a hope of getting though is the mainstream buzz, which I usually find silly anyhow, that a true "megafight" produces.

    Maybe they prove me wrong though, who knows.

    Its always a mega fight when two p4p fighters face each other.

    In the sense of it involving two big names, yes. But in the sense of it being a competitive match of genuine intrigue, no. Not even close. It's a bonfire of vanities.

    Don't try that one you boring nuthugger. It's a mismatch of epic proportions.
