Ah THE HYPE ! ! ! What a bunch of crap the hucksters are putting out just to keep people thinking about the bout for the next three months. Dare we not forget that there is a fight that just like every other fight that pits two humans against each other. The exception here is the interest in the fight that can be aroused in these three months in the for of hype. The more hype that can be written, spoken and shown in regards to the fight will cause more PPV at homes and taverns across the globe. The price of tickets at the fight will be higher with more hype and interest. The promoters have to make a story of nothing. When the fight will be?--Where the fight will be ?-- The weight of the fighters? --- Size of ring?--- Who is the ref? -- Who will sanction the event?-- Who is the undercard fights?-- And a host of others , just now being drug testing !! Rest assured boxing fans the show will go on. Do you actually think the people who make money off these events would work setting up all the fights that have lead up to this mega fight and let it stall in the last 100 days?? Rest assured it will happen and see the hype as business as usual by Bob, Floyds, Pac, Roach and the entire sports media propaganda machine.
I agree, this is all wonderful publicity to draw in as many PPV buys as possible. This is turning from a pure boxing match into a world wide sporting event (remember the Thrilla in Manilla?)
That what I’m thinking. Make people talk about the fight and hoping it happens even more. Then suddenly they sign contracts and everyone is happy. This has happen in quite a few Golden boy promotions big fights recently. It seems to work brilliantly
