Mayweather Return, Marquez Fight Announcement Timing

[Rocky Balboa]

There are two reasons he does this:

1. Like Youngblood said, there is a huge audience

2. Its just like Floyd to get at people like he does so well, marketing genius

Its simple, he keeps that bad-guy, immature, money-hungry image that makes so many come to see him get beat and lots of people hear it.

It doesn't take away from Pacquiao-Hatton, IMO he should have done it today instead of yesterday, but once again he had a huge audience already paying attention to boxing when he did it. I just wish people in the general media really knew how good Marquez is, and how good this matchup is.

I thought the same thing! The announcement being the same day of the Hatton/Pacquiao fight was trying to steal the fight's thunder.

Too bad Manny made the statement he made because it completely overshadowed Mayweather's return. I love watching Floyd fight but boxing was fine while he was gone.
