Roach wants the fight so that he can take pride in being the trainer who figured out how to beat Floyd. Arum doesn't want the fight because of the very real possibility that his cash cow will lose.
Good post!:good TO THOSE WHO DISPUTE THE NUMBERS (RIGHTFULLY DISPUTED) PUT IT THIS WAY.. HE GOT AT LEAST 25 MILLION FOR FIGHTING THE ALPHABET TITLE HOLDER:deal
Watch what happens if Floyd spanks that ass. We are talking mass suicides here, man, that make the Jim Jones Guyana situation ("Jonestown Massacre") pale in comparison. Sales of Kool Aid will increase ten fold worldwide, because, references to "drinking the Kool Aid" will gain a resurgence in this 'dark' period.
If Pacquiao made 25 million for Mosley, which did 1.3 million PPV buys and close to, but less of a gate than May/Ortiz, can we agree that Mayweather made at least 30 million? Being that he co-promoted the event with many of the fighters on the card under his label: Dion Savage, Said Ouali, Jessie Vargas; so he gets his promotional take from them each (which would be very small in the end, but still...) plus the well known issue of him having better promo deals with GBP than Pac has with TR/GBP both... Not to compare May/Pac again, but the rumored PPV totals equal Pac/Mosley and the gate for May/Ortiz is just the slightest bit higher, so might be a good measuring stick... What are his "reported" earnings for his fights since Oscar? vs. Oscar - 25 mil vs. Hatton - ? vs. JMM - 10 mil before PPV revenue (boxrec) vs. Mosley - "40 million this, 40 million that;" wasn't the contract guarantee 22.5 mil? vs. Ortiz - ?
That's what makes me laugh. If Floyd and Pacquaio do sign to fight and it's all locked and loaded, you know the Floyd fans will be less panicky and more confident in their fighter. Why? Floyd fans like the fighter. Pacquaio fans like the person.
:deal This thread needs a sticky... Plus a hearse, a cemetery, a funeral director and a greazy black Reverend to do some ******* eulogies... Goddamn! Them ni99as is bitin the dust in this motha****a. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE&ob=av3e[/ame]
i'm just saying they all say one thing or another just ****ing box with all that $$$ going into that who gives a **** FIGHT!!!!
Floyd made more than 40 mil this fight and it sickens people Live gate PPV IN USA PPV IN UK Sold the rights to the fight in over 100 countries Sponsorship Movies theaters sales up 30 percent from Mosley fight. Closed circuit in vegas the bars that bought the fight. And Floyd Pays Golden boy people he rights them a nice check.
I would say that Pacquiao would be too risky when he can make $40 million fighting guys that have no chance like Ortiz.
wtf Pac mosley did not do 1.3. Their is a reason no official numbers were ever released for that fight. You clearly dont understand Boxing. Manny gets a check while Flod writes check. Floyd def made over 40 mil for the mosley fight. He makes more money on the back end of the fight.
