    I guess when the facts don't fit the fantasy you wish was reality, you just make up numbers. Oh well.

    My god you're thick. It sure is nice of ****ing Golden boy to allow tecate to use their boxing events to promote their beer for free by discounting $25 for anyone that buys a case of Tecate beer. Oscar is a nice dude like that, it's not that Tecate is actually paying for the advertising by covering the difference and the fight is still getting the full income. Oscar and Floyd have an 80% ownership in Tecate so they just discount money from the fights with nothing in return from Tecate.

    You are making a real ass out of yourself here.

    1. It's common knowledge to any boxing fan that closed circuit sales are counted seperatly from PPV sales.

    2. from an article that I posted to prove my point you came up with some delusional argument for yours. From language that specifically says that PPV sales "were not affected" by closed circuit sales you arrived at the conclusion that they were affected in a positive way.

    3. You seem to think that the events promoters actually took the $25 hit from the tecate promotion instead of tecate doing what companies do and actually paying for their advertising.

    4. As others have pointed out, you have posted absolutly no evidence to support your claims

    We have been blaming Arum.

    Arum and Floyd are both equally responsible for this ****. The difference is Arum has his **** ups spread so far all over the board that it's hard to just bash him for one thing.

    Besides explain how movie tickets could harm PPV numbers anyways? they cant, and they didnt those numbers were not harmed due to golden boys decison to show the fight in over 170 theaters meaning those tickets helped those numbers.

    "Schaefer said the fight played to about 80 percent capacity in theaters, which were once a regular site for closed-circuit boxing shows."

    1. By getting people to go to the movies instead of buying at home.

    2. No. Read above.

    There is always someone to blame for Floyd not fighting so and so, there is always some excuse why he ducked so and so, whats funny is we are called haters, when basicly a huge majority of fans all agree on the same **** regarding Floyd, I am sorry but when you have this many people saying the same ****, it cant all be just hate, there has to be some truth to it, i mean even that ****ing DJ or what ever called Floyd out on teh same **** we have, and we are just haters not true fans of the game..... what are we talking about Floyds the man.

    Closed circut is usally at other casinos on the vegas strip, theaters were not considered closed circut, two different places to watch the fights, again if you have 52 million in PPV revenue, how does that add up when a good portion of people got the discount from Tecate.?

    No HOw about you explain to me how

    The million buys was derived from 525,000 from cable homes and 475,000 from satellite homes.


    Means that they are counting movie theater sales. Do you think that somehow the people took their cable boxes and satellite boxes to the movie theater with them?

    **** what he is sayin, seriously and with regards to Floyd not getting Cotto or Pac, well he deserves to be treated as such....
    I really hope he doesnt get a fight with either guy, I really hope he is forced to take less money fighting lesser guys, he is not good for the sport.... He is a low risk high reward all about making money, fine, but go make money some where else he doesnt deserve to share this kind of money with either guy...

    I am sure he will be fine, after all he is the draw right?

    So you've backed out of "eating crow" like you said you would? Again, you have no class.

    Backed out of what? I am saying that I really hope Floyd gets taught a lesson here, and hopefully maybe he will start respecting the sport and the fans who do pay his pockets.

    He doesnt deserve to fight neither guy, and I hope he doesnt.... I hope he is told to hit the road and find someone else.
    These guys both took risk, why should they have to share what they have earned with someone who cherry picked and ducked their way up the ladder?

    You said you'd eat crow if you were proven wrong. You've been proven wrong.
