    Koncz is only fulfilling Arum's desires by not letting this fight happen. He did that when FMJ offered the $40 mil in 2012 (Pac handed the phone to Koncz and Koncz killed it; check out that Alex Ariza interview and decide whether you trust Ariza or not; even i'm not too keen on him). With or w/o Konz or Arum, FMJ vsPac is a mega fight (thought everyone knew that:patsch)...

    Agree and Agree (but even most Tyson opponents, even Tyson, or any fighter for that matter has experienced butterflies; win or lose fighters go in knowing that they're about to go have some guy punch them in the face).

    But what type of PPV numbers has Pac posted lately? Around 300,000 buys? Canelo is doing about the same and he received near and 80/20 split (from what i've seen FMJ$42/Nelo$12 at most) and did 2.2 mil in PPV buys. I do think Pac deserves better than 80/20 for sure.

    which other fighter apart from dela hoya has pacquaio fought who was a bigger ppv star than FMJ? To bad Pac himself isn't involved in the negociations and can see the "roadblocks" are on a road that Arum and Koncz aren't even on.

    No way Pac himself or anyone with sense (even Mayweather) will allow Pac to get low-balled. FMJ showed that when he offered the $40 mil which even today is still a record payday for Pac and amongst the highest for any boxer in history. I want to see this fight too but it's going to take a miracle for it to happen. With things the way they are now (Arum alive and Pac signed to him), I think this fight will never happen.:-(

    When it says 'wins against Hall of Famers' on my post I counted Marquez, Morales and Barrera twice because he beat them twice. Are you having trouble understanding that.

    And Bradley might not be a lock for 1st ballot but he will definitely get in, I included Hernandez for Mayweather who is probably not a lock for 1st ballot.

    Now settle down Fl0M0

    It's just that TR WW stable stinks...the in house stuff kills matchups but GB/Haymon Protective Services has more to offer. "The fighter of the decade" should at least have his own promotional company (MP Promotions is just a banner under TR; like many others). I don't agree w/ everything Arum has done, but he has done a lot for the sport.

    Grown men snitching and gossiping over who is taking some synthetic hormone or ****ogue. I do not know whether to feel sorry for you or continue to be sickened to the depths of my soul.

    Go smoke weed, play your video games and crank up the hip hop. I am sure during those times you are the kings of the World.

    It's almost always about the money. Floyd ain't gettin slaughtered by no one (cept GGG?:lol:), he's got plenty of HW security guys.

    So what you're saying is that Pacquaio, the politician, found out Floyd had failed drug test.. Floyd paid him to keep quiet and he took the money? Crooked ass politician...:lol:

    Yeah but really what's an extra 10 million or something to Floyd vs being slated the rest of your life

    Maybe Pacquiao shouldn't have been an idiot and said he would fight for free. He even recently said "Floyd can get as much as he wants"

    I'm sure he'd be more comfortable not letting Arum make any more money off him. Even though its alledged that FMJ offered 10 mill to Arum to step aside and let the fight go. But I haven't confirmed this offer (I prefer seeing it come out of someones mouth on youtube or something).
