    How can you not want to buy this fight? Pac fan or not, mismatch or not?
    Manny Pacquiao is one of the most exciting boxers in history. You will probably see him fight a couple more times if we are lucky. Pac is not my favorite fighter, but he gives the goods every fight. There is no denying that.

    The only reason it will sell over 1 million is:

    It's PACQUIAO

    Your right, it will do over 1 million! Marquez is still one of the most popular active Mexican fighters. Only behind Canelo.

    true, everybody was excited for the Mayweather/Pac fight and they kinda used that to sell the Clottey fight

    I think the biggest draws in Mexican boxing right now are:
    1. JC Chavez Jr. / Canelo
    2. Morales / JMM / Barrera
    3. Arce

    I'd say it does over a mil, Pavlik returning on the U/C should help in America too. Money's tight and the economy sucks **** but I bet somehow they squeeze over a mil, or claim too.

    Mayweather's fight immediately before that sold 1.05mil. Pacquiao's fight immediately before that sold 1.25mil. Nobody was on anybody's coattails.


    Just sayin'.

    Simple. Because when some people spend their hard earned money, they like to watch competitive fights. Not fights destined to be one-sided beatdowns. Exactly where is the excitement in that? You get it now.

    Pros and Cons when it does over a Million.

    Pros:
    - It's another record for Pac. Nice to see him getting more and more popular each year.
    - Good for boxing. Casual fans would not get bored watching this fight.

    Cons:
    - Arum just proved yet again that even though the quality of opposition sucks, as long as Pac is there, it will do great numbers. Arum wins, boxing fans lose.
    - Wait for another cherrypicked fight, as long as it sells, it's fine with them. They don't care about us.
