    Nope.

    Its a contract, that your parents sign for you, thinking they are obliged to.

    "No. Getting a Social Security number for your newborn is voluntary." - From your link.


    Nobody can "force you to sign a contract." This is a free country. If it's "voluntary" nobody is "forcing you to sign." The parents can choose not to. Even if it is punishable by jail time..... you still can't be "forced" to sign it. You can choose to go to jail.


    Either way, let's stop pretending Floyd was "forced" to sign a multimillion dollar contract shall we? It's ridiculous.

    And CBS/Showtime could have been sued for breach of contract.

    One day, when you grow up, and maybe get a real job... you'll understand what a contract is. You don't get to "just stop paying somebody," if they don't do something you want outside of the scope of the contract.

    The terms were already set. 6 fight deal, X amount of dollars, etc. You don't get to go back and change it without agreement from both parties.

    My point was your parents were told they were obliged to get you a social security number, when in fact they aren't ( and the paper clearly states you don't have to, from their own admission).

    Get your pregnant wife to give birth at an hospital, and you will understand.

    I agree that the lower PPV buys for both fighters had something to do with it. Pacquiao's being much lower than Floyd and having to fight in an obscure place like Macau.

    Have you seen the terms of the mayweather 6 fight contract Vicky?

    You are clearly full of **** as you voted for Mayweather to win by UD. :deal


    Moonves calls the shots for CBS, not Mayweather. As long as Mayweather abides by the terms of the 6-fight contract, there is nothing Moonves can do in regard to that subject.

    If Moonves tried to force Mayweather to do something outside of the scope of the contract, and refused to pay Floyd the remainder of the current contract if he didn't agree, CBS would be sued in court. And they would lose.

    Contracts entered into under coercion are voidable at the option of the coerced party. Moonves can't make Mayweather sign a contract he doesn't want to sign.

    I also voted for chris algeri to beat pac man are that thick so according to you I thought chris would beat pac as well?:lol:

    you dummy that was part of my masterplan I wanted the pressure and everyone to vote for mayweather so when pac wins it would be be sweeter

    ofcourse moonves would only act within the terms of the contract you honestly think moonves would be stupid enough to let Floyd take 32 mill for ever fight and take ANY fight he wants?
