Apparently there was a big boxing match over the weekend between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquio. There was huge coverage of the event, most of which was seen over social media. Normally I am not into boxing, but somehow this fight blew up into something that everyone was supposed to spend their Saturday night watching. Some friends and I sat down to watch the fight and \u00a0immediately realized you had to have hbo or pay around 90 dollars to see the fight pay per view. We obviously did not have the money to pay for this and we went off and did other things.<\/p>\n
This got me thinking about how the boxers were able to attract so much media attention to just one night. Both of the fighters are legends and well known but it seems to me that there should have been much more needed to sell such an expensive fight. Does anyone know more about the fight or have any comments on how they were able to sell this event and make it become such a huge deal that generated millions of dollars?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
