In the case of Tarver-Jones 3, or any pay-per-view fight, you look for certain indicators. In this case, you look at the buys of the previous two fights. We knew there was great public interest in this fight. But you still look for those indicators. And there is no greater indicator than public ticket sales. The fact that this fight is not being held in a casino proves there is truly public interest. |
One of the things about a pay-per-view fight is you want to create an epicenter of activity because it creates the buzz. Florida has many big pay-per-view markets ... Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale. Tampa is a major-league sports town. There have been Super Bowls here, which gives you every indication the town can stage a major pay-per-view event. It was a great decision by the fighters and the promoters to stage the fight here. |
We are very pleased with boxing fans' support of Mayweather-Judah. |
