    Ask Tiger Woods and Charles Barkley how interested they are in watching an entire Mayweather fight.

    Mayweather is like the dog that barks loud because its bite is weak: He has to compensate with his mouth for his boring fights.

    No one wants to watch

    Even Floyd's fans dont want to see it.

    You are in rare form today. You upset that the attention isn't on Pac this weekend?

    Thank you. Thank you very much. :good

    Hey, you Joy Boy Plants know I know the score. Tiger and Chuck remember the Baldomir Borefest.

    Tim Smith's a joke. Been one, where Floyd is concerned. Just making sure his PR spin gets debunked. I have no angle (no one's paying me any $$$), I just don't like the BS.

    I'm cool with Floyd getting the run this weekend. Like I said, no one's paying me anything so it's no sweat off my back.

    I'm just here to remind people every now and then that the hype is just hype. Floyd's fighting another 35-plus'er who was beaten by Cotto not too long ago, and the fight's probably not going to be so exciting, which may be why the tickets aren't selling.

    they are over-pricing this thing a lot not just live gate but establishment billing also from what i hear.

    I have a friend who owns part of a bar and he says this event is more costly than DLH/PBF to put up. Which is why his place wont show it.

    GBP is treating this like it's Pac/PBF.

    It is over priced, people wont pay $600 for **** seats, simple as that. Just have a fight party and buy it on PPV, job done.

    It's a well known fact that Tiger Woods left the fight early so he get get some **** time with one of his hos. Hell I'm a fanb and I would most certainly rather **** than watch Mayweather fight wouldn't you...?

    A close fight with Cotto - the same Cotto that later got absolutely ruined by Margarito who was subsequently exposed and destroyed by Mosley.

    Now go put your Manny album on and relax to the catfishes appalling screeching Engrish!

    No Mas! :lol:

    You are honestly saying you don't think Mayweather and especially Mosley have any fans? Either my sarcasm meter is broken or you are an inbred (I apologise if it's the former).

    King s, I think that's the exact problem. Elite fighters who don't draw fans for some reasons.

    Mosley's a great competitor, but like Floyd, he needs an A-side like Cotto, Margarito or similar.

    This is an historic fight. The ticket sells will go through the roof. If they bought the Hopkins Roy Jones fight, people will buy these tickets as well.

    I think the above are some of the reasons for the sluggish ticket sales.
