boxing is basically an UNKNOWN sport that nobody watches anymore except for mayweather and pacqiao and they are charging 75 for a fight? do they want to alienate the few fans they have left with this ridiculous price... i was stunned when i saw this price, they are out of their mind... im sure everyone will be on their computer watching

Unknown sport? This fight will probably set a record for pay per view, regardless of what clowns like you do. See the fight with a few friends so you don't pay as much.

i figured there would be one clown that would come in here and say something usburd like BOXING in general is not irrelevant nowadays... mayweather is the ONLY guy that sells any payperviews whatsoever!... here is a good one for a dope like u... the HEAVYWEIGHT champion in the sport dosent even do payperviews....

The sport of boxing and Mayweather are two completely different entities.  $75? yeah, all day and all night.  As Jabber mentioned, this fight is expected to break PPV records.  That should tell you how many "alienated fans" are going to pay for this.

thats funny cause just about everyone else said they are going to either go to a bar or watch it on the computer and hook it up to their tv cause its too much and mayweather is boring anyways.  i will be watching the fight but the sport is a joke.. mayweather and pacquia are the only guys anyone knows... the biggest division in fight sports ( heavyweight) dosent even have payperviews LOL... GO CANELO... even though i think he has no shot

An unknown sport that no one watches? Are you retarded? This PPV will sell more than the last 6 UFC PPV's combined

No one watches

The HEAVYWEIGHT champion in the sport sells out soccer stadiums when he fights.  If you don't know about something, that's fine.  But don't think you know about something when you're really clueless.  There are a lot of things I don't know about.  I'm fine with that.  Not knowing stuff is cool.  That's how you learn more stuff.

"The secondary market ticket sales for Floyd Mayweather's bout with Canelo Alvarez are off-the-charts, far outpacing any other fight in recent memory and only falling short of the kind of price seen for the Super Bowl."

Totally the makes of an 'unknown' sport.

Yeah, you're right.  Nobody will buy it.  They'll only get 2.5 million buys.
