My favorite question is "Are Martyweather and Pooquino in the same weight class?". I guess the answer is "yes they both fight at Medium Light Welterweight which is 144, if they even meet up the Diamond Belt will be on the line"
"What's the Diamond Belt?"
"God only knows"
hahaha. The one I usually get is "MERRYweather".
But everyone I know ordered the fight or watched it somewhere. Even the MMA fighters who train boxing at my gym were more interested in the boxing event than in the UFC event.
With that said, I figure Mayweather's fight did better numbers than everyone thought. And when all is said & done I think he'll have a very good argument for being a draw. I also feel his numbers could rival those of Pac/Cotto. But 1.6 seems a little high. I'm hoping it's true. Would love to see some people eat crow, but you know how some promotional companies operate.
I would love to see PAC/Cotto do equally as high numbers, I like it when boxing PPV's do well. Boxing has the potential to take back some marketshare big time in 2010.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
