I don't have the numbers handy, but I think Pac was only doing 250,000-350,000 in his early PPVs.

captain that sounds about right and floyd before oscar was 300-400 thousand.

If that is the number, It is a solid number! The sad thing is that JCC jr had the opportunity to become a Super Star in this fight! He had the 24/7 camera's rolling and the whole Roach angle and how he saved the Great JC Superstar's life from drug and alcohol addiction! And what did he do?? Showed his ass on 24/7 lazy as fuck, training at a fucken BBQ, making Roach look like a total ass sitting in an empty gym and then smoking pot during camp? I wanted the kid to win and picked him to win now I am glad a true professional and a man who came up the hard way and earned his spot at the top of his division won the fight!!

I agree 100%. I wanted Chavez to win. I thought he could become a superstar and it could be the showcase fight Andre Ward would need in 2 or 3 years but now I don't like the cost of pushing this chump as a superstar even if it helps Ward.

why is he a bum? the kid has more balls than 99% of the fighters on the planet. he got his face beat in for 11 and a half rounds and never went down and never even stopped coming forward. he flat out wore sergio out to the point martinez had nothing left in the 12th. hes not an elite fighter, but i think he is far from a bum. i wish i was a big enough bum to come about 15 seconds short of knocking out sergio martinez LOL
