http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=A ... &type=lgnsFight back on. Sept 19th.
Ticket sales reportedly had been slow for the pay-per-view event, but they should get a significant boost because of the new date. Mexican Independence Day is Sept. 16, and the bout will follow that Saturday—a weekend that had long belonged to Oscar De La Hoya.How conveeeeeenient. Prolly realized they screwed up on the initial date. They'll get more PPV buys with the new one.
Just glad this thing is back on. Was beginning to think Mayweather realized he may have made a mistake. Maybe Arum's taunts about how "Floyd won't fight anyone he has a chance to lose to" worked.
Still don't think Floyd wants to fight Manny. Marquez is a logical choice for him, cause he's more beatable (maybe not much), and if Floyd wins ... he can yap about how Marquez shoulda won two of three vs Manny to make his case he's still #1 pound for pound.
