    Atleast a million, I am not ordering it but it won't matter.


    Showtime did something that HBO hadn't, which was stick Floyd in front of every one all the damn time.


    On CBS during college Basketball, on all their Networks, from all access, to "Mayweather"


    CBS and Showtime, and promoted this very well, this is no longer about the match between Guerrero and Floyd, it is about "Floyd"

    Keep laughing as much as I want to be wrong Al Haymon, is a genius, Floyd is an entertainer.

    Right now between CBS, Showtime E, SHowtime W, Showtime 2, Showtime Extreme, there is Floyd programming and promotion constantly in rotation.


    Never before have you had multiple channels putting him, not to mention the interviews, and **** Guerrero is doing.

    Most of the people know are ordering this bout, just because its on Cinco de Mayo weekend and they were gonna have Family and Friends over.



    This is gonna sell

    just because they put shitty tv actors at the world series in the stands and interview them between innings because its a new show on FOX and the world series is on FOX, doesnt mean people are gonna watch it because it was "promoted". stupid logic you have. only hardcore boxing fans will order this, not some average joe who is a basketball fan

    because everyone has showtime extreme and sho2, show3 :lol:

    its a **** fight at best

    I agree. This fight is more about the event and Mayweather than it is about the actual fight. You're at home asking what is there to do and decide to throw a fight party.

    I wasn't to sure about the promotions about this fight a few weeks ago, but they turned it up this week.

    Floyd is on CBS, CBS Sports, Larry King, ESPN, Showtime's channels and Fox Sports has an event on tonight and i'm sure the fight will get promoted there too

    Floyd has already proven that he doesn't need a live body in front of him to sell a million buys. Love him or hate him, he is the biggest draw in the sport right now.

    Mayweather has events, and there just happens to be a fight. It'll do
    well. maybe not as well as some others but it'll crack a million

    It should hit around a million buys.....Robert isn't exactly Cotto and the undercard doesn't bring that much to the ticket, but they have marketed this fight very well. His exposure on CBS prime time was terrible but that hasn't thwarted their efforts. I wouldn't be surprised if it did a little under a mill either. ....haven't heard much hype for tbis one.

    I'll consider it a major upset if Guerrero wins 3 rounds.

    This is a fight that shouldn't sell, but will still put up decent (by Floyd's standards) numbers.

    This is what I am saying :deal


    The exposure and marketing alone, is insane. Trust me on this it will be ridiculously high.

    Casual fans are getting alot of exposure, which will sway I think, alot of hardcore boxing fans may skip it because of the mismatch that it is. But most casual fans watching the hype every where will get sold.
