[Boxing] Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez

Juarez looked like he woke up against Chris John in the last two rounds of the last fight. I think he might press the issue this time around. The last fight was an extended feeling out period. We'll see, though. I just like boxing, period and I appreciate it at all levels.

 

It's all about UFC today. not boxing, not Floyd Gayweather

 

^^^ I am curious to see how much PPV cash each of UFC 103 and this fight brings in.

 

sopcast link pls?

 

I can't wait...ordering boxing on PPV for the first time in a long while tonight. After watching 24/7 I don't know how anybody could bring themselves to root for Floyd Mayweather. What a d-bag.

On a side note I called my local Buffalo Wild Wings and asked the chick if they were showing the Mayweather-Marquez fight and she replies "Is that football?" Then they connected me with a manager who said they weren't ordering the fight. "We do UFC though". What the hell? I mean it's their choice to lose business I guess but you're a 'sports bar' and you're not showing Mayweather-Marquez? Come on now.

 

You expected some chick to know what you where talking about? Ummm, get a clue chicks might know who tom "dreamboat" brady is and that is the extent of their sporting knowledge.

 

Well so much for me going to a bar to watch this fight. Every bar I was going to go to is not showing it. Instead they are showing UFC.

Smh

 

What really pisses me off is that they make you shell out another ten dollars for hd. As if 49.99 isn't enough.

 

Some chicks no sports. But I wouldn't think for a woman to expect Mayweather vs. Marquez to be two football teams.

 

Same here with the showing UFC instead of boxing. How pathetic. I know boxing has fell off but come on.

 

49.99 is too much at this time. undercard is bad as well.

if it's pacman and floyd, it's ok.

 

Not the kind of chick that works at Buffalo Wild Wings.


But on a side note, you are seriously trying to get into a serious discussion about chicks knowing sports, don't bring that weak *** stuff to the around your buddies, you'll liable to get laughed right out of your guy club.

Grow a pair dude.

 

Usually when I'm talking about women with my homeboys we aren't talking about them knowing sports. But since you're the one that stated it I just thought I would point out the obvious that their are women that know their sports.

I could give two ****s what any guy thinks about me thinking that.

 

If you think that this fight isn't worth watching at 49.99, I'd have serious doubts as to your powers to evaluation the relative quality of any undercard. But that's just me.

 

Back when Ali was fighting all his fights were free I think, and he is considered the greatest fighter to ever lived...

 

nah they frequently used closed circuit TV , you had to go to a movie theater etc to see it.

 

How much were ticket prices back then?

 

If the point were that boxing matches should be free, I'm not arguing that. Wow, this is a banal point; by the orginal poster's admission that isn't even the discussion. But thanks for bringing up an irrelevant point. The idea was that Marquez-Mayweather was not a good enough fight to warrant the price of addmission.

If you believe that, than my point remains. What it really tells me is that you really don't care for boxing, which is fine.

 

$10 a piece in 1971, apparently for Ali vs. Frazier. So how much is that in 2009 dollars?

Ali vs. Norton seems to be $8.50 at that time.
