    Since when was JMM a dance partner. PBF did over 1 mil buys v JMM. JMM is no draw at all.

    Just so you guys know, there it was just announced, they haven't even had a chance to hype it.
    Even though I think if it's contested at 144 we should all send a loud message to Bob Arum to stop damaging his own fighters like this.

    Pretty much an exact quote from mayweather when explaining why Cotto/Pac did a higher number.

    If you can provide numbers of previous JMM fights which prove otherwise please go ahead.

    This forum was full of people who said the fight would bomb and wouldnt do no more than 500,000 buys.

    Cool, now how did they do against common opponents again? You're comparing Pac fighting for a belt against a respected champion in a weight-class north of his ideal with Mayweather fighting a tune up against 37 year old lightweight. Which of those fights sounds intrinsically more appealing?

    How many of Marquez's previous fights had a 24/7?

    They should just have it on regular HBO, not PPV.

    Hatton and Cotto are not household names in the States. No one has a ****ing clue who they are.

    24/7 doesnt guarantee ppv buys. Just ask Joe Calzaghe, Roy Jones and Bhop.

    Floyd doing 1 mil buys v JMM was a surprise. Just admit it. I am a PBF fan but I was shocked it did that well on PPV.
