Kevin iole says that it seems the numbers for Mosley vs Mayweather payperview are only 1.1 are 1.2mil?

II dont believe it could do this horrible ive never seen so many youtube prediction videos yahoo answer question regarding this fight. I anticipated this fight and for only 1.1 are 1.2 makes me wonder how did this happen and whats happening to boxing. I live in Houston TX. and every sports bar and many houses were watching the fight in their yards with big screens. it was the talk of the town all my family members had the fight my dad is very near 60yrs old and i didnt think he knew who floyd mayweather and sugar shane mosley was but he asked me about them because he said everyone in the hotels while checking in were talking about it. at the airports and everywere he said people were saying i ready to hurry home to watch the fight. and he said they were promoting a huge fight party at the hotel. With all the promotion and superstar status power of a pending pacquiao fight on its tail i wouldnt be able to understand why this bout couldnt even do 1.5. I just cant believe these number till I see them. If it is true boxing is dying

    It's the big screen TV, it's ruining it for those greedy bastards. We must of had 15 to 16 people watching it at my friends house. Not everybody follows the sport, I went to class last night and only a few said they watched the fight and there are like 50 dudes in the class.

    What? Where's the link to this? I read somewhere on Sunday either from ESPN, The Ring, or Yahoo that it was tracking at 1.5 millin PPV buys, but I would be surprised it it was as low as 1.1 mil.

    Nevermind - I just found out he tweeted it. Wow.

    it is dying, it's been dying for about 10 years now.

    it's noobs like you who keep having panic attacks over which hand bag looks better with your shirt that keeps this rumor alive.
