They put garcia-mattyesse a part of floyd event so is this their way of trying to make up profit?
Broner-$maidana is far from ppv material
Thoughts?

It's certainly as good as any of Broners fights so far, I'm sure it will be PPV. With a decent undercard it's not a bad call.
It's okay with me, it's a budget issue, Golden Boy has to many fighters and lost millions of dollars in HBO cash, Showtime will have a card every other week, they have Wilder tonight and Mares card in two weeks, HBO has 1 card this month. Showtime broke the budget by having to many cards. Throw this fight, the Guerrero-Thurman fight and two other fights and it'll make enough to make up for the HBO money lost.
With Alvarez-Mayweather, Rios-Pacquiao and Marquez-Bradley all being PPV. And all being within a 3 month time frame this is almost a guarantee to flop. I like the fight. And I'll get it. But overall, I don't see it selling well.
As good as Floyd is, he got to headline his own PPV after being a pro for nearly 10 years and in that time frame, he had to prove himself against the likes of Hernandez, Manfredy, Chico, Hernandez, Chavez , Castillo and Chop Chop which is a whole lot better than what Broner has done thus far.
Broner is still a work in progress and havent done shit to headline a PPV.. This would be more acceptable if he fought somebody better but Maidana is obviously a stepping stone and has no business being on PPV. Maidans is just a showcase fight for Broner.
The undercard better be stacked and shit. Thurman-Guerrero should be on this.
Broner-Paulie got the 2nd highest ever ratings for Showtime boxing (1.2m?)
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I think he might go back down to 135. Figueroa is now the interim belt holder or in layman's terms his mandatory defense. He said long before the Paulie fight that he planned to go back to 135 and lets be honest, he did go to 147 for the trinket and there really isn't anything for him in that division at the moment.
There is some historical significance in the move also. Nobody has went back down from 147 to 135 since Henry Armstrong. Maidana for his part would most likely be a lot happier to meet afterward at 140.
Now he looked pretty solid imo at 147 and I have no idea how difficult it would be for him to melt back down to 135 but the guy has played with weight his entire career. And lets face it even at 50% he would dismantle Omar.
If they put Thurman -Guerrero on it and Supposedly Figueroa's next fight is on this bill and if they price it at forty or fifty dollars they should at least break even. Other than the Floyd fight I don't see any big-selling PPV this year. I'd be surprised if Marquez-Bradley does over 300 000.
