PBF/Marquez had no bulid up hahahahahahaha!!!!

You for real, what a crock of shit!!! It had more build up than the Cotto-Pac fight if anything they even came over to the uk to build it up it then was delayed for two months to give it more anticipation and there was the usual 24/7, there was loads of build up!!
By build up I don't mean promotion I mean excitement. I mean you have a guy coming out of retirement against a guy with no draw coming up 2 weight classes. Both are counterpunchers. Floyd was expected to win with little problems. A good UFC PPV was on. Who did they trick into getting excited about this fight? And despite all the less than 500,000 buys talk the fight did 1 million. The buys total was more exciting to find out than the fight outcome.
They hit a million PPV because of JMM. For just drinking his own pee, it hype the fight to gain more PPV clicks. Floyd owe it to JMM.
