    doing its 24/7 thing, Jerry Jones adding his influence and marketing muscle to the promotion, and the Margarito controversy and every sports columnist screaming bloody murder about it enhancing the hype. Check, check, check and check. Yeah, I’m afraid this promotion is going to do quite well.

    My guess is that Cowboys Stadium will host 80,000 and the PPV will do between 1 million and 1.5 million buys. Maybe I’m wrong, Rob. Maybe you and like-minded fans can prove me (and Arum and HBO) wrong. We‘ll see.

    1) Fisher is a joke of a "journalist"
    2) He is an admitted homer for anything So Cal. He was the leader of the "Margo is the most feared man on Earth" hypetrain, and did little to hide it.

    Great for boxing and a 2011 Mayweather fight if they do big numbers like this. I doubt it but we'll see.

    I agree with Doug on all of this. Not sure about exact attendance/PPV buys, but I think he's in the right ballpark.

    The writers dissing the fight will only increase the hype.

    With the Latino buys I wouldn't be surprised if it does over 1 million...Actually I expect it too.

    I can see a million, 1.5 is a huge reach. It won't do more than the Cotto fight, no chance
