dumb post considering how you mention manny took on all challenges yet posted photos of Sergio Martinez and Paul Williams. manny ducked Williams back in 2010 in favor of fighting margarito's nothing ass
RayRobinson, people have already said on this thread he's guaranteed the $200 million with this deal. That right there is a big difference. Will the Guerrero fight do as well as the Cotto one? Will his next opponent if not Alvarez? We don't know this, but him being guaranteed that money means he's set regardless. This in itself would be a reason for the move, no?
I don't mind anyone who has negative stuff to say about Floyd after all he isn't my dad lol but I think the criticism he gets is unfair. First of all to compare Roy Jones to Mayweather is silly, Mayweather pulls in HUGE numbers, Roy never did. Secondly who on Mayweathers PPV resume compares to Del Valle? Mayweather has fought all big names and generated HBO good money - Cotto, Moseley, Ortiz, Marquez, Hatton I mean everyone acts like he is fight bums. So I cant agree with you, I don't think HBO is happy to see him go at all. A business never wants to lose its top performing commodity... Reference Pacquiao I don't think it's Mayweathers fault and you clearly think it was his fault but I don't think you can assume to know what HBO think either, they never publically took sides so far!
You're trying to tell me that Margarito (who was at WW, when he informally challenged Mayweatheratsch) @ 147 was more dangerous than even a semi-retied DLH? You're a ****ing moron. Look and listen to what is said in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIXwH8UVEcs I'm not getting in this conversation. You obviously don't know what the **** you're talking about when it comes to boxing and want to get into this long drawn out ******* debate about testing, lawsuits and Bob Arum. **** off. :hi:
I'm ALL for discussing but how can we really know if HBO were tired of Floyd? We're just going to go round and round in circles with the people who like Floyd on one side and the people who hate him on the other. We don't know the showtime numbers according to them it's ground breaking revenue sharing, so for me that's ok and despite what people say about Floyd being a dumb ghetto mofo he is smarter than me and in his next fight will earn more than probably this entire board will in all their life times. Anyway cool speaking to you bro! :good
He sure does. The real cash King :smoke And to answer the thread title Showtime outbid HBO. HBO has been having big time budget problems for a few years now.
This thread has gone in the wrong direction , it wasnt meant to be about Floyds future we now know this and its great. It was to do with HBO's future in boxing and why they let the biggest cash cow in the business go. Was it fights made? profits on return? change of profile? But somehow it is turning into what it always does , a Floyd vs Pacquiao argument. peace.
I compare th both manny and floyd, you do realise this dumb****. manny being so small took on margarito, 5 inches taller than him. floyd had he pacs balls he wouldve took on guys with the same size difference and what is 5'8 + 5 inches? yup 6'3, guys like pw or even kelly pavlik. now you gonne say pavlik is a super middleweight, yeah sure he is, but that is the size difference manny took on, bigger (clottey), much taller (margarito) and stronger opponents than he is and yet he still succeded.
I knew you could not say anything in favor of floyd, something reasonable why anybody would leave out 50 mill on the table, stupid kid.
turbo, you my homie (its me chempasillo they banned me for no reason atsch), just say I am right . these guys just don't understand that a 5'8 boxer should take on bigger challenges in higher weight classes than a 5'6 boxer, they just don't get it. why? how you doing?
Really? So prior to going to jail, it was Floyd who kept that fight from happening, or in 2010 when they went as far as to get an arbitrator to help work out the details (who had to come on the back end and call Top Rank out for lying about negotiations)...cool story breh.
so you wanna tell me floyd made equaly as much money vs cotto than would he have faced pacuqiao atsch I can't take you serious anymore.
