    I'll watch the fight, but I'll just watch it on live stream. There is just not enough excitement to make a PPV buy a forget about a trip to Vegas. It does have the potential to be a more entertaining than Berto/Urango. Did you even get through the fight? I sure didn't.
    I totally agree your reasons not to buy this PBF-JMM potential boring tune up fight...

    Dude! While I think JMM deserves to have his day at making the big $$$, I couldn't care less if Mayweather makes another big purse. Any disrespect Mayweather gets he's earned. If you think what I wrote poor attempt to be disrespectful wait for the real critics to spit that crap back in Marweathers face should the PPV numbers fall flat.

    I also wish JMM can get some big dollars (he's a very good boxer) but I doubt if he got it in this fight... There were reports that PBF's purse for this fight is $15 million... I highly doubt if JMM even got $5M for this fight... Knowing "Money May", he must have demanded not lower than 80-20 purse split...

    If you think Mayweather-Marquez
    1. Is a tune up fight, your an idiot
    2. Is going to be boring, your not a true boxing fan who can appreciate the sport.
    3. Not worth paying 50$ for, your not a true boxing fan
    4. A total mismatch, your an idiot.
    5. Not worthy of anything because its not as significant as Mayweather-Pacquiao, then your an idiot.

    It won't be boring, Marquez's style is such that Mayweather will be forced to be exciting.

    don't you get it? Saddoboxer thinks that anything that doesn't have Pacquiao directly in it is boring

    Tune up fight is your 1st fight after a long layoff... It's also a fight where one boxer is heavily favored to win (4 to 1 is a heavy favorite)...


    2. Is going to be boring, your not a true boxing fan who can appreciate the sport.

    Guess I'm just a normal boxing fan, not a purist boxing fan who can have an orgasm watching boxers going at it utilizing the purist form of sweet science without much fireworks and blood...

    3. Not worth paying 50$ for, your not a true boxing fan

    Potential boring fight not worth $50 for me, maybe $30...


    4. A total mismatch, your an idiot.

    It's a total mismatch... Give me 1 or 2 tangible advantage of JMM over PBF... There's none I think...

    5. Not worthy of anything because its not as significant as Mayweather-Pacquiao, then your an idiot.

    It got some worth... It's an eliminator...

    Leonard took on Hagler in his first fight after a 3 yr layoff, that must have been the mother of all "tune ups"

    JMM in most peoples eyes beat Pacquiao twice, so then the real question is what advantage would Manny have over Floyd to make that a significant fight
