    This may not mean anything but just throwing it out there.

    Mayweather/Canelo did 2.2 million buys, a PPV record. Their most viewed press conference video has around 960K on youtube.....in a year.

    Mayweather/Pacquiao press conference has 1.1 million youtube views in 6 days.

    For those who think this fight won't break records, I highly disagree, even with it being 100$.

    This fight should be an enormous success. Non-boxing fans who just follow Mayweather were excited for the Canelo fight, even though none of them had ever heard of Canelo. Everyone knows Pacquiao, so I think it'll do 3M buys.

    Imagine if the press conference wasn't all-time-uneventful, too...

    What if there was a push or jawing during the stare down? Really missed out on the opportunity in favor of being PC.

    Absolutely agree. I think Mayweather should've been the more "Jawing" Mayweather than the "I took a Xanax before I came here" Mayweather.

    The stare down was pretty intense though! A minute long! Not too shabby.

    who doesn't think it will break records?

    Im sure it will beat the alvarez fight, I just don't think it does as much as many are projecting.

    Im thinking 2.8 to 3.3......... below or above that would shock me.

    I'm not sure. I'm not very hyped for this fight personally.

    Records will be broken by a mile. Watch the hype build up a week before the fight. It'll be ridiculous.

    I'm not a huge fan of either. But when they get a week before the fight, I'll be pretty hyped.
