HBO commits to Pacquiao-Clottey on March 13.

Why not showcase both the Mayweather and Pacquiao fight on the March 13 HBO PPV?

 

Ego.

 

Shane just finished a training camp, he can't fight March 13th, so Mayweather probably won't even fight in March and just wait til May

 

Cause you can milk it twice?

 

edit

 

Why not, I've seen long ass training camps before. He's already in shape just has to stay sharp which I don't see as a big deal?

 

Because HBO is in it to make money.

Having the fight on two different date means a huge return for each fight. Put them up head to head and your making the same amount as a single night fight.There is a limited number of people who will buy a boxing PPV on a given night and they don't want to split it.

 

He'll be drained and over trained come fight time

 

the same greg leon that reported floyd was gonna be fighting nate campbell. he's a dumbass

 

Void will avoid Pac's march 13 PPV numbers.

 

the Pacquiao kool-aid must be intoxicating for you to actually believe that, Mayweather-Mosley will blow the Pacquiao-Clottey numbers out of the ****ing water.

 

Why can't Arum see the value of having Foreman-Cotto on the undercard? Cowboys Stadium even set up at 40, 000 is twice the live audience of MSG, PR Day Parade or not.
He should stack the hell out of this card to make Mayweather rue the day he started his mess and make Dana White run like hell from putting on an UFC event on that day. Pavlik is free too, he could fight Sturm (Williams isn't going to happen, and I come to accept it sadly) right underneath the damn Pac-Clottley fight. It would do a lot for his tarnished rep.

 

It doesn't matter how big the seating capacity of a venue is, its what the gate taken in is. Less seats mean more money per seat, so 20K at 100 bucks for the nosebleed section is worth just as much as 40K at 50 bucks for the nosebleed area.

 

Hell, get Vanes to fight fellow Top Ranker Matt Koborov in a duel of power punchers that would do some good to help Vanes's recently tarnished rep too.
