Slow ticket sales for Mayweather-JMM fight

NOW

The next time I hold a garage sale and nobody shows up I'm gonna blame it on a rib injury.

On June 5, a Web site devoted to boxing called Philboxing.com -- not Phil as in a guy's name or Phil as in the abbreviation for the 76ers in the NBA standings (although I guess that's Phila., according to the front of Hal Greer's old uniform) but Phil as in the Philippines -- reported that ticket sales were lagging for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fight scheduled July 18 at the MGM Grand.

Golden Boy Promotions, according to the report, would announce in the next 2-3 weeks that one of the fighters had suffered an injury in training and the fight would be postponed.

Actually, it was more like nine days when Mayweather "injured his ribs."
It had to be Mayweather who feigned -- I mean suffered -- the injury because anybody who has seen Marquez fight knows that he'd never pull out of one for any reason short of stepping on a land mine.

As for my garage sale, it's still on. The featured items are a print of "Dogs Playing Poker" and a bunch of weak excuses for calling off fights, which I'm selling for a dime a dozen.

Propaganda? That's what happened, the fight got postponed... You can't blame the guys who predicted this things weeks earlier... They're predicting this fight might get postponed due to the slow ticket sales and they added that the convenient excuse for the postponement might be one of the boxers will be declared "injured"... They called it weeks earlier so can't blame them if they believed it's really because of the slow ticket sales...

like i said on another thread (cause you know that the retard makes at least a dozen threads that are basically all about the same thing), Mayweather/Marquez was announced on May 2, so it hasn't even been 2 months since then, and the fight was originally set to happen in about a month from now, Pac/Hatton was announced at the end of December, they fought in May, that's a good 5 months of promotion and publicity, and even with that the fight wasn't sold out till 2 weeks before the fight, you can't even compare the two situations, all i know is that Mayweather has had more PPV sales in his last 2 fights against the same opponnents than Pacquiao has, that's gotta say something

Another excerpts from one article:

Mayweather-Marquez. Golden Boy Promotions announced yesterday that Mayweather had suffered a rib injury and the Marquez fight is off, at least for the time being. I'm not the sort to doubt training injuries absent evidence, but there is a lot of suspicion out there about whether there were other motives at work here. I make no judgement on those suspicions, although they do point to other interesting items that warrant discussion anyhow. Suspicion #1 is that Mayweather-Marquez tickets aren't selling well and therefore it would be embarrassing to Mayweather if the trend continued between now and July 18. That raises a question that I'll get to in a minute, but my first reaction is: It serves you right, Mayweather. Tickets, from what I've been told by friends of this site, are absurdly overpriced. That's the consequence of demanding $15 million for a fight that is, according to many, a mismatch between a welterweight and lightweight. And, of course, it's thought a bad style match-up, featuring one fighter who isn't yet proven as an A-side (Mayweather) and another fighter who is popular in Mexico but not as popular as he ought to be (Marquez). If this fight isn't selling, can everyone who admires Mayweather for his money-making and "business" skills as opposed to his actual in-ring performances and opponent choices please, please, go to the emergency room and have themselves de-superglued from his jock? Especially since Mayweather chose his opponent so poorly if what he wanted was a 60-40 share against Manny Pacquiao down the line; Mayweather overruled advisor Al Haymon when he wanted to be on pay-per-view instead of regular HBO, and now he's dug himself quite a hole. Mayweather being a good "businessman" is a myth, because you can only get away so long with getting paid highly for taking few risks, and that chicken has, it seems, come to roost. Suspicion #2 is that Mayweather just wants to go straight to Pacquiao. As with both these suspicions, neither is very credible if Marquez has any recourse for insisting that the fight be postponed only, rather than canceled. It seems like this has to be settled one way or the other, because you can't guarantee a ton more tickets sold if the fight is moved to September around Mexican Independence Day, as is being discussed, which means Mayweather would still be screwed.
