I think the jury is still out on whether May/Pac hurt future ppv sells.

You can't compare mismatches like GGG/Lemieux and May/Berto to fukking May/Pac.

Cotto/Canelo is the 1st ppv with two stars that are almost evenly matched. Now if that fight only does some shyt like 375k in sells, then yeah you can start running with May/Pac conspiracy theories and shyt. But to do so now is way premature.

I think Oscar and HBO not building Lemieux up a lil more( like getting a fight or two on HBO) hurt that ppv more than anything really. :manny:
all may vs pacquaio proved is that even in 2015, and despite all the bull shyt "boxing is dead" talk there is NOTHING like a mega fight between 2 superstar boxers
no one fight can effect ppv sales
most mega fights never turn out as good as advertised anyway

in this new social media world, mayweather vs pacquaio might as well have been 2 years ago.
if GGG was interesting enough and the draw Dan keeps slobbering about, then he would have sold more
its as simple as that

canelo vs Cotto will do solid ppv numbers
and aint no one NOT buying that because of the may/pac fight

BoxingScene.com caught up with WBO featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (4-1) who faces Romulo Koasicha (25-4) in the HBO televised co-feature underneath the Tim Bradley-Brandon Rios main event. The fights take place at the Thomas and Mack Center just off the Las Vegas strip.

Lomachenko is regarded by many as the top fighter in the division but he has had trouble luring other elite featherweights into the ring. With the other three major title holders fighting under the PBC banner, it doesn't seem likely the Ukrainian will be able to unify titles anytime soon.

That being said, Lomachenko isn't looking to move up in weight quite yet.

"My goal is still to clean up the 126 pound division. We need to talk to Lee Selby and Gary Russell and (Jesus) Cuellar to get with me and we can fight. Then I will go to 130. Gary Russell said that he can beat me 99 times out of 100 but where is he? Why isn't he fighting me? After Lee Selby beat (Evgany) Gradovich, he told my manager that he wants to fight me but where is he? My goal is to unify the division and then move up," Lomachenko stated.

Lomachenko feels that the other champions are just blowing hot air and aren't serious about fighting him.

"I don't know why they just talk. I can talk too and say that I want to fight Pacquiao and Mayweather and I know it isn't going to happen. They are just hiding behind their managers and promoters and not coming to fight me. When I say something I mean it. I don't just talk to talk. I am sending a message to these guys. Either do what you say or close your mouth and shut the f*** up. I am ready to fight. Do what you say and come to fight," Lomachenko told BoxingScene.com.


Lomachenko with that ether. :wow: I'm not the Loma stan you are @krackdagawd , but I like dude. I am excited to watch him fight again. The way he was sidestepping and turning his opponent on the Mayweather/Pacquiao card. :ohlawd:

now that i think about it. its unfair to blame another ppv on another .

wasn't delahoya-trinadad boring to the casual ? but delahoya-may still broke records at the end of the day....:yeshrug:
