    we don't know exactly that's why we are asking for the offical accounting of both events that has not been forthcoming from top rank.

    in case you guys don't know floyd was promised 85% for the gatti fight and 80% for the judah fight. This is total revenue. the gatti and zab fights were capacity crowds so the full accounting for what was the actual gross was never given.

    and this info has been asked for on numerous occassions only for bob to stall and make excuses. Floyd has probaly lost around 10-15 million dollars from the time he signed with bob arum who is a ****ing thief :deal

    we are not even going to go back that far but as far as floyd is concerned there will be no cotto fight until bob arum pays him what he is owed for the gatti and zab fights. there is no getting around this.

    now while bob decides how he is going to handle this floyd will continue fighting in mega fights with other established fighters like hoya and hatton.

    hoya was given a split and eventhough floyd knocked out hatton the bull**** with the ref came up. which is not a bad thing wembley stadium in spring 09 with 100,000 and a 45 million payday for floyd sounds real good to me:hey :yep

    WHere do you get that from? We're supposed to believe Gatti took the low end of an 85-15 split w/ Mayweather when HE was the draw and in HIS own hometown? :patsch:patsch

    I just hope that this issue can get resolved sometime soon because I really want to see the 2 best WW's going at it as do we all.

    agree with nearly all that bar the 130-140lb point, as imo Floyd has grown into a natural WW over the years and I doubt he'd get down to 130lbs safely and be the same fighter. A 7" reach advantage is huge, but dont get me wrong, he had Ricky beat in EVERY department and I am myself a big Hatton fan... but I cant condone this Witter ducking, it's getting a joke now.

    Excellent post. One more thing: Hatton's weight was 145 pounds in the weigh in (people exaggerate and think 5 pounds are a huge difference...it is a difference, but not a big one) and he was 152 lbs. the night of the fight. He is usually 152 lbs. also in his fights at 140. Mayweather fought a perfect version of Hatton.

    And remember that Hatton was beltholder at 147 and a Top5 contender after beating Collazo (although that was a close fight, no clear winner).

    And finally, as you say, MAYWEATHER STARTED AT 130.
