    Anyone else feel this way? Mosley/Mayweather seemed to be generating much bigger mainstream media coverage than this one.

    It's Victor's fault. Nobody wants to watch a tree, J.

    thats what I said a while back. Where's Tecate's promotions? Remember when May fought De La Hoya he was on ESPN Magazine and S.I. He has to fight Pacquiao next.

    The hype for his fights with JMM and Mosley were a lot stronger. Mainly because the Pacquiao talk was still strong back then, and a fight was a real possibility. But now, with Floyd randomly going off into retirement whenever he feels like, and that megafight with Pacquiao losing its lustre, I think people have grown slightly tired with his bull****.

    There didn't seem to be much hype for May-JMM and it did 1 million PPV...

    There hasn't been much hype in the UK, doubt it will do well here. Mainly because of the switch from Sky Sports to Primetime PPV.

    If Sky were showing this, you could guarantee people here would be buzzing about it a lot more.

    Shaeffer said this fight would have the biggest promotion ever! Aside from 24/7 and re-runs on CNN, I just dont see it. The only buzz this fight has is on boxing forums amongst diehards.

    Could be that everyone is fianally catching on that Mayweather only fights those he's positive he can beat, and it's always a bore.

    it does feel a little earily quiet.....weird considering it is less than a week away

    When you are inactive people start to forget about you little by little just natural, and Victor is not a household name
