    Didn't Oscar offer him way less than he did previously and he still accepted?

    I dont know what Floyd is asking for this fight. It really depends on that and how much forecasting GBP has done in terms of a profit.

    Im going to go out of the limb here and say that the marketing expense of this fight doubles that of RJJ/JC and thats on top of theguaranteed purse

    Because Floyd and Oscar have never disliked one another.

    Arum and Floyd REALLY REALLY hate one another.

    I'm not for one second proporting to support the thread as the reason for the injury - I'm quite sure Floyd is injured.

    What I am saying is that I have read several places - I'm certainly not saying that its definative proof, but here's an article - http://pound4pound.com/BillysBoxing...-cow”-floyd-is-really-just-a-box-office-goat/

    Sounds like mor bull**** from Floyd hater bitches.


    Why would ticket sales dictate whether a fight takes place or not, especially when Pay per view numbers matter more? Thats just ridiculous. Mayweather is hurt, it happens, get over hit haters.

    :lol::lol::lol: Thats why Pac did less then 300,000 against Diaz, and couldnt do near what Floyd did against Oscar and Hatton. Get the **** out of here.

    How do you know he won't accept?, because of one article that published quotes?

    You can only know when he's done with his next fight and is successful with it and they negotiate properly. The guy is set to have a fight why the hell would ANYONE take ANY discussions regarding that fight seriously when his main focus is Marquez?. Didn't Pacquiao tell everyone that asked him about the future whenever he was scheduled to fight "I don't know, my main focus is <insert name> now, aske me when the fight is over and goes my way"?

    People said the same about Mayweather pricing his self out before both DLH and Hatton fights and these same people don't seem to give up by trying to hold on ANYTHING negative they can find, even if they have to pull some out of their asses.

    When they start serious negotiations and Floyd turns it down because of money then sure let's have a bash fest.

    Very possible though if ticket sales being poor is the reason they won't hide it, weren't HBO honest enough to turn down certain Pavlik fights and even Wladimir/Chagaev recently?

    If poor ticket sales is the reason I assure you they will be far more honest/harsh about it.
