ESPN Poll showing 82% of respondents will not watch Pacquiao-Clottey

Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto have pretty big followings. I cant believe you could put Clottey anywhere near either of them in regards to his followings.

 

Im am a hardcore boxing fan, and i truly have no interest in this fight. Clottey is decent enough to make this a good fight seeing as though he has never been hurt."If you let him let tell it" He has a good a chin but i think with the pacman's offensive style he will be forced to stay on defense making for a boring fight. Also like bonds said, most people dont even know clottey, so this fight is basically a waste of time and money for all fans.

 

That could help the numbers for sure

 

It def will do better than marquez vs mayweather and people are still thinking mayweather vs pacquiao will still happen,but once the first press confrence starts the boxing world will take notice.

 

Im going to watch it ,but Im not buying it ,it will be watch over someone elses house or I may have to steal this one.

 

The only fight that this should be compared to should be Pac-Mayweather.

Tell me how the numbers would compare to that fight?

And how can you walk away from that fight when you're so close to a resolution. Im a fan I wanted to see the best fight out there is that unreasonable.

 

go back to bull**** scene where you belong

 

I read somewhere that HBO will only show one of these fights, wonder which one they'll pick.

 

it says 82% are not watching...so u better hope ur mentioned shows up in full force....noone care about clottey...even insider fans should know pac will ko him or beat him thoroughly...only *******s will buy ...I say 400k on ppv as opposed to the 3 mil it would do if pac wasn't juicing and could fight floyd

 

would u like to ban bet that...avatar bet...anythin...not even close

 

yeah right...they won't show a split DH...come on man

 

Good **** Arum & Pacquiao............

 

...

really? you really? think that? no way this gets 1MM buys, especially if floyd is fighting the same day

 

Are these polls EVER accurate?, I remember votes being so against Mayweather/Marquez people should have been surprised if it made one PPV buy yet look at the numbers after the fight.

Boxing fans tend to be very cold about fights when they're first announced but as it goes closer it's always the typical "Oh my God!, look how ripped Clottey is, can't wait!" and so on. Didn't almost everyone claim to ditch the DLH/Pac fight?, what happened there?. Those are recent examples, there's a lot more.
