    lotta people calling this a mismatch. 1 thing for them to fight and he wins by a land slide its another thing to say you know for sure it will be. jmm is a legend and floyd hasnt fought in 2 years going on now. it should be a good fight

    I agree. PBF should be very careful against JMM. He is no joke.

    I hate to say this is a tune up fight when it's JMM! He's no one's Tune up fight. But given the fact he's a fighter who has NEVER been above 135....as great as he is it is a little too much for JMM. There is a certain wall every fighter hits when they are skilled and great enough to move up. PAC has done it with great success but that doesn't mean JMM can or will. I'm willing to buy the fight simply b/c I love boxing....even if I feel the outcome is 99% certain with Floyd being the winner before the sound of the 12th round. But I truly believe JMM is also on the slide. His fights with Casa and Diaz while exciting were tougher than they should have been for the great mexican warrior.

    well according to floyd, he's fighting marquez b/c its all about the money, he (marquez) beat pac, and shane has too many losses and isnt a draw etc

    I order every Mayweather fight and this won't be any different. To me, this is an exciting matchup of two great fighters.

    ok. People buying this fight are:

    a. those who think its not a tune-up and will be competitive. and that includes marquez fans giving him an equal chance of winning.
    b. Floyd-fight collectors
    c. Those who haven't spent enough yet this boxing year

    did i miss out anything?

    p.s. those not buying are fans who think the replay is as good as live ppv. :)
