    not if he fought Pacquaio now, not a chance

    he was not rated as highly in the p4p rankings and did not have all the brilliant performances under his belt the last time he fought manny

    the marquez that fights PBF is infinitely bigger than the marquez that fought Pacquaio the last time

    why can't ye see this

    So you need to speak English and have family problems to have high ppv numbers huh. How come Roy/JC was the worst of the bunch then?

    Wow you just danced around the question.

    you attribute the success of PBF PPV#'s to 24/7 right?

    now the question was:
    Okay. So what if Floyd didn't speak english and had no problems in his family. Now how does that 24/7 play out? does anyone even watch

    Your not contradicting anything b/c the point is Floyd is the star of 24/7.eople tune in to watch him not just 24/7 as you stated. If it was just the show then all of them would have done well.

    I'm slightly unsettled by the fact that Walk With Me has been starting a lot of threads that have nothing to do with Paul Williams.

    Keep in mind when DLH and Mayweather was signed that was already a mega fight that would bring in huge numbers, 24/7 was just a big bonus that added icing to the cake, especially it being the first of its kind it practically sky rocketed buys because it made the non boxing fan believe that this fight was special and had to be seen. Today 24/7 is losing its luster because it is being shown for more fights than it should.

    As well as Hatton/Floyd, this was the biggest fight in demand back in 05 and these 2 have a rival history with each other. That kind of thing is bound to always sell big.

    We'll see though this september, Floyd/JMM is the biggest mismatch of all the fights with24/7's, If the fight cant break 500k ppvs with such a terrific card then it should close the case.

    So you give no credit to Floyd his antics and why was the #1 story line about the relationship between him and his father? He had 50 cent in his house riding around on that 2 wheel bike thing. It made sports center. The next ep De lahoya's whole family had them. The influence is undeniable.
