Well, yes, by virtue of being a ghetto-fabulous third-rate operation. Had it been picked up and promoted with gusto by HBO it could've done alright.
Say what you want, but this is two guys who like coming forward. It will not be a boring fight. Plus the undercard is legit as well.
I was watching the live stream of yesterday's press conference on FB and literally there was only a little over 2k people watching it.
So many people are saying this, it's almost karmically assured to be a classic. People are going to be kicking themselves later.
Depends what the demographic is for who buys Pacquiao fights and how they like to consume media. They are advertising this pretty hard on the Spanish channel. I was watching Boxio Azteca on Unimas and they were re-running old Vargas fights with commercials for Vargas vs Pacquiao. If he has a big Mexican fan base who buys pay per view, then it might do alright. If it does well, then HBO and Showtime are in trouble, because people are cutting the cord and getting rid of cable. This might actually end up appealing to millenials.
I have to watch paint dry this weekend, so unfortunately I'll miss the fight between the one guy and the other guy you're all talking about.
