By Eric Thomas: Golden Boy Promotions have requested September 14th with the Nevada State Athletic Commission for a pay per view show in Las Vegas, Nevada in a fight that will be headlined by Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. a still to be determined opponent. At the same time, Top Rank will possibly have WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley defending his title against Juan Manuel Marquez in a PPV bout as well.
What this means for boxing fans is that they will have to decide on which PPV broadcast they want to purchase on that fight unless they want to purchase both of them and flip channels or Tivo them. Unless there’s an injury of some sorts that will knock one of these two fights from that date, we could see the numbers for either fight less than what they could have been if they didn’t have tough competition.
