    As I said previously. I am not quoting US specific numbers. I am quoting worldwide numbers. Your fights dont generate that kind of money. Hatton did not make the kind of money he made in two fights over here then he made his entire career selling out arenas at home. 30k cheap stadium tickets dont compare to the money Vegas events bring in. Look the **** up. It aint rocket science.

    Lets face it, the huge PPV numbers in PBF-DLH and PBF-Hatton are not because of PBF.

    Poor ticket sells because there are about 500 seats left for a fight that is still almost 2 months away. Floyd haters have no limit.:patsch

    And Pacquiao/Hatton sold out 1 week before the fight, no one is talking about that though. :lol:

    Wait till after the fight and they will claim that Marquez brought all the fans. Yes the same Marquez who made $0 PPV buys fighting Chris John.

    13 + pages of hate from so-called boxing fans.

    I know Floyd brings on most of the criticism himself and that this is a cherrypicked fight where he has all the advantages but in the end it's still two of the best fighters in the world getting into that ring and if that's not worth the price of the PPV admission than what is?

    Unless JMM gets old overnight, this fight will not be the blow-out some of you are insinuating. And if PBF should happen to put on a masterfull performance vs Marquez then he deserves at least the same type of credit!

    A lot of the success(or failure) of this fight depends on the notion that this fight is a mismatch, which by the way is, IMO one of the reasons PAC/DLH did not do better PPV numbers!

    Support this fight, it's good for boxing!
