or maybe HBO is confident that the 1st fight had enough controversy to sell this fight. advertised or not this is a better and more competitive fight than pbf maidana.
It looks like everyone from the networks to the promoters are cutting expenses. Pac vs Bradley is nowhere near as big a fight as Floyd vs Canelo. Same thing with Floyd vs Maidana. The fights will still sell great but thats because of how big Pac and Floyd are within the boxing community. The casuals aint buying these two fights man. Its not worth breaking the advertising budget for them.
GTFOG that fight was a one of canelo was a huge draw with a big fan base and also don't forget the stacked undercard apart from that pacquaio and mayweather have been similar in there numbers
I think you didnt understand what I wrote, which isnt surprising knowing you. Let me simplify it. Pac vs Bradley and Floyd vs Maidana are on one level as far as fan interest goes. Casuals wont be buying it, the boxing community will. It looks like promotion is cut back for those types of fights. Floyd vs Canelo was on a higher level than those two other fights, so it made sense to spend more money on the promotion. Do you get it now?
