    I wonder how things would spin if they both loss:think. I doubt they do but it's not impossible.

    I think it will still be interesting. Maybe their demands would easily meet if that happens.

    What fights are these? Surely you're not talking about a weight drained and over the hill DLH. Or the "welterweight" clash with Cotto at 145?

    And no way did Pac deserve 60/40. I think 50/50 would be fair but now it'll probably be 60/40 Floyd after he beats Shane.

    :lol:

    To be fair Pac fought all of them at stages where they weren't as big a draw, but that also means Floyd beat them when they were at their best, besides JMM. The most significant is the Marquez fight. Floyd carried all the promo for that fight alone and managed to get over 1 million buys for what most already knew would be a non competitive fight. Thats pretty special.

    Yeah but the fight only means a quarter as much as it did if that happens

    This is not true my friend. The fight was on the national Mexican holly-day and Marquez was a bigger draw after KOing Casa and Diaz and giving hell to Pac in the second fight.

    Either way people are putting money in his pocket, which at the end of the day is what he wants.

    Even though this is yet another obvious message that he doesn't want to make this fight but let's be realistic. Mayweather/Marquez nearly did as much as Pac/DLH did and that's Pac fighting DLH and Cotto.

    It's either Mayweather is playing hard to get to keep this fight getting bigger or he's planning to ruin the biggest fight in boxing today by far and possibly the biggest fight(money wise) in history. If this doesn't happen both guys will get a lot of **** for it in the long run but eventually Mayweather will take all the blame.

    if pbf v mosley sells more than pacman v clottey then yeah floyd should get bigger share.

    people are saying that mosley is the better oppoenent, more known, then maybe pacman should of tok the fight when mosley was virtually sucking his dick to get a fight.

    dont blame pbf for pacman fighting clottey wtf

    Scar this is disturbing for once I support Floyd in something and you are turning your back on him :). Don't say to me that you are converting to a full time *******
