Nope cuz manny fucked around and didn't knock out bradley when he should have. I don't give a fuck if he got robbed(which he did) the fact he allowed it to come down to judges really makes me question the fire he has and diminishes the expectations for any fight. 100% believe Mayweather would work him like a 1790's slave that still has both feet.

It should have happened two years ago. These guys are boxers. Their primes don't exactly last long. Now they're both past their prime, which makes it quite a bit more meaningless. It would still be a huge draw and media giant, but it just wouldn't be even close to the same. When you're talking a one-on-one battle in the ring, who wants to see two guys both declining? It's not like one of them is on the rise or at their peak going against the old guard, where one would either win and remain king, or the torch would be passed. It's just two guys, same point in their careers, at a level clearly below where they once were. Fuck that.

if its under 50$ on ppv I might watch it, but I doubt it will be......if if does happen.

Don't worry about it!

ppl who pay for boxing ppv get what they deserve. you have to pirate that shit, it's NOT worth the money... unless of course you've got like 15 friends chipping in. then it is prob worth the $5 or whateva.

People actually watch these PPV fights alone?

You either get a bunch of friends over and have everyone chip in so it doesnt cost anything, or you go to the bar and watch for free.

Paying for it AND watching it alone is horrendous.

I'll believe it when I see it doubt it will happpen tho

Myself+a couple knowledgeable people+Twitter+Plasma=WIN

this.

I forgot to mention that ive never paid more the $5 (to a friend or a bar cover charge) to watch any UFC or boxing card ever.

I'd rather see Floyd fight the winner of Sergio Martinez/Chavez Jr.

Agree with most everything you said. It's funny to hear MMA homers bash this fight like nobody cares, when it's 4 times as big of a fight as anything the UFC could put together right now. I have a feeling if Arum is talking about April being a distinct possibility, it means Pacquiao told Arum he only has 2-3 more fights before he retires.

I'm an MMA homer in a sense, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good boxing fight. In fact, I don't think there's a single MMA homer alive that hasn't gotten wood to a tyson highlight reel or that doesnt appreciate ali, etc.

It's not 4 times as big, GSP/Silva would do over a million buys. Pac/Pimpweather probably isn't breaking 2.5 so lets calm down just a little bit. I've always hated that argument too cuz it makes no sense. If the UFC put up 1 PPV a year it'd break records too. Just cuz boxing only has one or two PPVs a year and they sell well doesn't mean it gets more viewers than the UFC. Yearly PPV sales for the UFC compared to boxing is probably 10 to 1....it's not close.

Who cares? That's just how it's set up. The UFC can put up a ppv every 3 weeks and get a half million buys everytime so they do....boxing can't so they only have a couple every year.

If the UFC just STOPPED putting up PPVs and 6 months from now had a card with a couple title fights and a GSP/SILVA main event, it'd sell more than any boxing PPV, period. Don't fool yourself just look at the numbers.

The UFC has more stars and therefore can put on a good PPV at least once a month. Boxing has 2 superstars that fight once a year so you get 2 big PPVs a year. Do I really need to keep elaborating on this or is the obvious obvious to you?

FUCK BOXING . . . and FUCK MANNY . . . and PRISON FUCK FLOYD !!!

I will believe this when they actually ring the mfing BELL.
