Well, it seems to me that the fight will take place anyway, maybe it's just an attempt to create an intrigue to attract audience interest, nothing more, but why is there so little hype around, maybe Showtime is not showing proper interest here.
Little hype? I don't think so, I believe the moment they will officially announce this fight, those tickets will be sold out easily. This is an anticipated fight, so I believe everyone will be eager to pay and watch this through PPV.
Yes, there is no need to worry about the sale of tickets for ppv, I think there will be no problems here, there is just a situation of forced silence, because both boxers have no defeats and now someone will have to lose, mutual determination is needed here.
They are not only thinking of the money but more about the legacy because it's good to retire an undefeated fighter like Mayweather. Actually, both can make the biggest payday of their career but they know the risk because the loser will eventually decrease his value or popularity.
