Slow ticket sales for Mayweather-JMM fight

[ElTerribleMorales]

You asking me not to watch a Boxing match? LOL. You really are a fukking idiot. True Boxing fans watch all fights. Not do stupid shiit like ask for a boycott. I knew from the start you were a Pac fan. Not a Boxing fan. You just proved it

Maybe I'm not too clear there, I mean, would you buy the fight??... Of course as boxing fans, we will still find ways to watch that fight without buying it... Just a little sacrifice for the possible realization of PAC vs. PBF fight (the fight most fans wanted to happen)... Get it??
.

I'll tell you what. I watch the fights on my flat screen in HD. The fight gets recorded straight to dvd while it happens. I also smoke narcotics and get wasted off either Tanguray or Grey Goose.

Now if you going to find me a place where I can watch the fight under similer conditions than I will happily not pay for it.

bring your TV and watch it over here lol we can light that shit up

Hatton / Pacquiao didn't sell out until two weeks before the fight. I think the poor economy was a major factor there. I don't think we can use the same logic with this one although it is still a big fight. Vegas will probably get more excitement giving odds on the PPV and gate sales. +300K, -450K,

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

If you think Mayweather-Marquez

1. Is a tune up fight, your an idiot

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

Was Leonard or Hagler a 4 to 1 favorite over the other... I guess it was an even fight 50-50...

Bwa ha ha ha Manny has the age/youth advantage over PBF...

What tangible advantage JMM has over PBF?? There's none I think...

IF Castillo gave him a hard time, you can be sure Marquez can as well. Also, if I would follow your logic, every fights (or 90%) would be a tune up fight for Floyd. To me, Marquez isn't a Tune up fight at all, Floyd picked him because he's by far the best small guy available and he knows which reproaches are made to him and he wants to try to patch it up with great caliber fighter but at a weight where his risks are smaller. IF JMM is a tune up fight, It's the toughest one you can pick from.

I considered it a tune up fight as a result when this various conditions exists:
1. 1st fight of a boxer after a long lay-off
2. One fighter is a heavy favorite to win the fight (PBF is 4 to 1 favorite)
3. One fighter enjoying all the tangible advantages over the other

To be fair, Mayweather Sr. was the one that called Marquez a tune-up fight for Lil Floyd Jr.

Marquez is no walk in the part for Mayweather Jr. but the best guy available is and was Shane Mosley! not Marquez.
