    This is my point. Floyd sells the fights he is in, he is the draw, and he is willing to do the promotional work to make big numbers happen for the PPV. The reason PAC was not at the NBA allstar weekend or superbowl is because he is not a fighter thaty appeals to the markets for both of those sports. If Floyd was fighting March 13th, I guarantee he would have been at the Superbowl and NBA allstar festivities. It would make super sense for Pac to promote at the Allstar weekend given it is in Dallas, where his fight will be held in about a month. Pac clottley will do less than 500,000PPV buys.

    Whole post was on point, but to the bold especially:

    Really? you think that little? Hmmmm if it is, I hate to throw a spanner in the works but if that happens and then PBF vs Mosely does 1.5m+ then the negoatiations for PBF vs Pac will be in trouble over money as well as drug testing!

    I hope they both do big numbers but I really doubt it!

    Pac vs Clottey should do more than that, 800,000 maybe?

    Mayweather vs Mosley should do around double that.

    Also, for anyone with any sense. You can see with the interviews Mayweather has done, he's forming the perception that he just wants to clean up sports or boxing in particular at the moment, and now will have all of his fights after the failed Pac thing take drug tests. He's also framing the perception that he agree'd to Pac's thing of 10mil per lb which is outrageous but Pac refused to take random drug testings for a 25m+ pay check. Why is he doing this do you ask? To counter-act the lawsuit that is coming and frame and argument that he isn't just singling out Pac so it's thrown out in court. Interesting to see how this unfolds.

    Shane has got to get aggressive in interviews to sell this.
    They need to promote the **** out of Mosley hammering margarito.

    I love watching this man at work. Whether it's in the ring or conducting an interview, you have to admit that watching Money do his thing is a thing of beauty. Money/Shane is going to **** all over the PacGwire/Clottie fiasco.

    Pac trains in LA. There are plenty of opportunities for him to appear on TV while in training camp. Floyd was doing interviews just a few days before the Marquez fight, and throughout his training camp. Same thing with Hatton.

    Maybe cos Pac doesnt speak English very well? lol. The fact that prime time talk show like kimmel is willing to have a guy on a "talk show" that can hardly communicate english says alot.

    If you wanna compare just how big Pac is, compare him to how big he is in philippines to Floyd in the US. lol. If Pac spoke English well like Bruce Lee did I guarantee he would be huge.

    If Floyd keeps this up until training camp, and Mosley does his part. Add in the commercials, the normal coverage by ESPN, and 24/7 and this fight could do 1.8 Million PPV Buys.
