    Before, fans still hoping Floyd will fight Pacquiao. Now, Floyd's hype died down. It will not do 2M. Do you think Canelo is more popular than Oscar ? Plus, DLH/Floyd ppv was much cheaper.

    As someone pointed out, the fact that the mayweather Pacquiao fight no longer holds any weight will likely affect Floud PPVs until the day he retires. I firmly believe that one of the things that drove the Mayweather fights against Mosley and Cotto to do well on PPV was the potential of an eventual Pacquiao gs Mayweather fight. Now that the idea of those two fighting is no longer as intriguing I think any Mayweather fight will be hard pressed to break 2mil.

    I can't wait to bump this thread when the numbers are counted for all the idiots quoting above 2mil. Also, LMAO at the economy excuse already being doled out.

    "The economy is MUCH MUCH worse than it was a year ago." Really? How so?

    Casual fans in the US largely have no idea who he is, though. Most true "casual fans" have never seen him fight.

    Lol.

    Is that what they are teaching you in college?

    You will never get out of a recession in your lifetime, well perhaps you will, if you live for another 40 years, you will.

    There are no guarantees in life, but there are assurances. And I can assure you that your economic woes are only beginning.

    Your work force participation rate is lowest rate since Jimmy Carter. Why is this important? Because your social security and Medicare is predicated off work force participation rate and the contributions based on the tax rate.

    Your economy is suffering. There are less full time jobs. The jobs that are being replaced are part time, and those that are lucky enough to have full time jobs, there is pressure to decrease wages.

    If you raise the tax on social security, your economy will suffer. If you continue to keep it low, your economy will suffer.

    Your favorite Harvard economists estimated solvency based on a 5% GDP growth rate, sustained over a 10 year period. You WILL NEVER IN YOUR LIFE see those numbers in your 4th level economy.

    You don't seem to understand what's going on in the world right now...

    Maybe you should quit college if they aren't teaching you anything worth a damn.

    Incidentally, does anyone know what the largest Showtime PPV events are vs HBO events?

    Tyson-Holy 2 was Showtime if I recall, so I assume that was their biggest, and that most of the big promotions came from HBO.

    Lol at the economy being worse... DJI up nearly 3000, S&P up 300, NASDAQ up 700, Russell 2000 up 300. Dont even get me started on new construction, property sales and unemployment. The economy is much better than it was one year ago

    There are multiple linear regression models available that prove the stock market and GDP have no relationship.

    I would advise you to do some research before making such outlandish claims.

    If anything, the fact that your stock market is doing well, should be an indicator that there is limited growth in your economy, because otherwise, investors would use the money for small businesses and growth.

    Regardless, as I previously said, there is no relationship between the stock market and GDP.

    Graduated from the University of Michigan and I'm currently a CFP. . I'm looking at real numbers, not estimations. The recession is over and has been for quite some time. Most indicators show that the economy is better now than it was a year ago. And yes ss will fail. The baby boomers are being funded by a much smaller population, doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. When it will fail is unknown though.
