casual fans dont care about boxing like we do, they buy a 'product' or the 'brand' in this case mayweather or pacquiao they bought pacquiao vs mosley/clottey/margo not knowing who the **** the other guys are because pac was fighting, they didn't know it would be a mismatch or whatever canelo nor kirkland have made that name for themselves, casuals would see the adverts and think who gives a ****. now do what arum (yes the devil grr grr!) did with de la hoya and put both fighters on HBO as many times as possible in good fights and you'll see a superstar. if we start paying for match ups like this what next? ppv for eliminator matches too?
in the UK amir khan was on free terrestrial tv. he was hugely popular and got a big fan base, he then got too big for his boots and demanded he go on PPV, almost every one of his PPV's bombed and now he's back fighting on sky sports.
Good for the sport....more exposure....FFS...atsch More people are HBO cable subscribers then would buy the PPV. We're talking 28 million vs. 200-300K possible buys.
:rofl look at lance dick riding another comment once again. god, lance has so many *****-like traits its not even funny.
It's too early for these guys to headline pay per views. But I think Canelo might be a PPV star in the near future, I envision myslef buying the Canelo vs. Chavez Jr. PPV.
it would have to have a premiere undercard with at least one fight with a legitimate belt on the line
:huh I give credit when it's due, and that even includes certain Floyd fans. And besides, he made valid points stupid little boy. atsch Look at what you said...."Good for thew sport, more exposure!!" Yeah, limit it to an costly PPV when it can be available to almost 30 million households. Dispute that if you can. But you won't, you'll just make another lame insult. :roll: And who the **** are you anyway? You floyd ***gots just say some lame ass insult about me, and then give each other rim jobs over it. ****in Down low bros you are. :thumbsup
You never said ANYTHING about "down ther line" *******. But after people are making you look like the noob you are, you add that tidbit THREE pages later.atsch
lance your a ***** and a dickriding ******. the poll is about 50/50. but like the ***** u are, u want to argue and ***** about everything when u can simply give your opinion. u worry about what people say too much for a old ****** ass man who had a ***** fart in his mouth :rofl. take your medication. everyone knows GBP is planning on making canelo a PPV star anyway, this is the perfect fight to start. i dont give a **** about your ****** ass opinion cuz ur nothin more than a ***** and a hater :yep
