    Why are you still complaining? They're fighting! Who cares about promotion? Just enjoy the fight.

    I do, punk.

    If there's an NYC presser, I want to go. There should be an NYC presser. What big event doesn't have any NYC presser? This **** needs to be on video display in Times Square.

    I wanna buy t-shirts and posters.

    I am desperate to see the first face/off.

    first we were complaining about the fight not happening, now it's happening so we are complaining about the promotions not starting early enough? let's just be happy it's happening

    Hope they do the HBO Face Off or something equivalent to it. Perhaps have it on CBS with their station's preeminent sports/news TV personality hosting.

    This just all comes down to you not wanting to acknowledge that the pathetic lack of promotions is solely on account of Floyd taking FOREVER to nut up and sign the contract.

    :hi:

    They will probably have 1 or 2 press tour stops but not 8 or 10. This fight doesn't need it:deal

    We won't see a fight of this magnitude for a long, long, long time again. This fight should be HONORED and DONE RIGHT by promotions.

    You don't think it has anything at all to do with the fight being the biggest fight in terns of demand and money in history?

    Perhaps 2 rival networks having to work with each other?

    2 rival promotion companies having to work with each other?

    The lawyers of both networks, promotion companies, managers etc having to look at it?

    I thought you said you were involved in business? Im going to assume that you know several other deals may of been brought up and denied from both camps. Every time one deal is denied, a new one has to be remade. Then everyone involved and their lawyers must be brought up to date and re-agree or counter. There has to be one side that also signs first, the first signing does not imply anything.

    If you think about it, considering pac's last fight and this fight being announced mid Feb, it wasn't that long of a negotiating period considering the magnitude of this fight.

    No insult, notice I did not tash talk. But I could of swore you mentioned being involved in business and this is nothing out of the ordinary.

    They're scrambling because the hold up was Floyd. Can't book sites for presscons if they don't know whether the fight will go down.

    No one expected Moonves to step in the way he did and no one expected Floyd to take the fight.

    All these kats want money. This **** is ****ing fiasco.

    No 24/7 or All Access?! REALLY?!?!

    How often did we know all the details involving a fight literally 4 days after it was announced?, are you new to the sport or plain stupid?

    first of all, quite a bit of time remaining...

    secondly, you guys realize that it's about profits, not just revenues right? If they can get 3mm PPVs without much promotional costs, can't this be possibly better than 3.5 with a lot more promotional costs? Promoters and networks have a hard decision here.
