    Count me in.

    I was in Ottawa at a friend's condo for the Pacquiao vs. Rockgloves fight. We went to the Boston Pizza nearby because when we called the ***** on the phone said they were showing the fight. We got there and found out they were only showing hockey instead and had to go back to his place and order pizza.

    It was :rofl when he claimed Marquez doesn't have enough drawing power. Marquez and Mosley basically sold the same amount of PPVs in their last outings. At least if he fought Marquez, they could use the drama from the two previous encounters and Mexico to sell the fight.

    He should be able to beat Marquez at this stage, but Marquez would have some tricks that trouble him.

    I think he's worried about looking bad. His image and opposition for the last 2 years have been carefully done.

    I honestly would have been more interested to see Pacquiao drop to 140lbs to fight Marquez than I was to see him beat up Rockgloves at 150lbs whose chin was already cracked over a year ago by Mosley and who hasn't had a significant win in years and literally never since we know he hasn't been cheating.

    I think the GTA is unique because its alot more diverse, I remember seeing DLH/Pac promo for alot of local bars 3 years ago. Im down for the fight as long as its not the boondocks like Ajax or Whitby

    Never went to Whitby and don't plan to. I know a guy from there who always wears popped collars and cried openly and repeatedly when his ex-girlfriend got a new boyfriend. It's all I can think about when I hear "Whitby". Makes me think of "crybaby" or something, not sure.

    People love knockouts. Floyd has one KO in his last 6 PPV events.
    Floyd is from the US a former United States Olympian he is letting down Americans his own people and fight fans by not telling people that he wants to use headgear if he fights Manny.

    IMO This is why certain fights dont get made, why so many fighters find it easy to avoid each other, too many fans get embroiled in PPV numbers, what THEY! think a particular fighter deserves to fight this guy, that guy.

    All the above does imo, is make the fighter think, yep, ima stick to my guns, I wont get heat, or look like a ducker, cause I have people who will fight my case.

    I mean, should you even care what EITHER fighter is getting?

    Were you one of the accountants at Enron? That's some serious spin.

    Floyd outsells Pacquiao by any serious metric and there's no denying it. Find another angle if you're going to try to say Pacquiao is a 50/50 draw with Floyd.

    So you in Quebec? Guelphs a nice town (nice Uni girls). One thing about Canada over the States are the beautiful women. Theyre just littered all over the place. Let me know whatever fight if Floyd, Sergio and Pac are involved. We'll hang at PBFreds Bridle Paths palace.

    a larger slice of what?

    a 50/50 split of what?

    are you talking only about PPV revenues in the US?

    and are you okay with them getting equal guaranteed money?

    what about the share of revenues from broadcast rights in asia? are you okay with pac getting 100% of the revenue share?

    1. You know Guelph, then. It's wet ***** all over town every night. You ever go downtown there at night? All the bars on the same corner and it's a good scene. Also if you go to "The Ranch" on a Saturday all the girls wanna dress up like cowgirls and really play the part.

    2. Chauffeur service included.
