You need it spelled out for you? Really? :huh He discredits Diaz as 'just a title holder', not a legit champ. Well that's what DLH was at 154. And that's who Floyd beat. Still need me to conect the dots?
Lol. You penalize Oscar for losing to ATG fighters in Hopkins and Mosley? GTFOOH. Mayweather, a natural lightweight, went up to 154 [no catchweights needed] to beat Oscar - who had just KO'ed Ricardo Mayorga.
it was a split decision and there was meant to be a rematch but floyd 'retired' Oscar eventually took on manny and became owned completely one sided into retirement
-Flyweight- Won it, lost it 7 months later via KO. :roll: -S. Bantamweight- Won it, got a gift DRAW 5 months later against Sanchez who was kicking his ass... -S. featherweight- Gift win vs Marquez :bart -Lightweight- Won it against David Diaz who won the vacant title in a controversial win vs Morales. :verysad -Jr. WW- Against a Hatton who was brutally KTFO by Floyd and almost KTFO and saved by the ref against Lazcano. -WW- Won it against Top Rank fighter who was forced to weigh no more than 145. Top Rank bull****. :verysad -Jr. MW- Won vacant title at 150...Neither fighter deserved a title shot for the 154 title since neither fighter had done **** to be ranked, let alone fighting for it at 150 ffs! Top Rank bull****. :!:
Still the split should be 50/50 like Dana White said.At the end of the day both will make more money than they ever dreamed of.Floyd wants more money and Arum has made it clear they will not bow down to Floyd demands, regardless if he is the top draw and sells the higher PPV numbers. Pacquiao is a congressman and will not back down from his stance on this matter.
Many people claimed that Marquez was robbed of victory against Pacquiao in Pacquiao-Marquez III. In the same manner, Castillo was also allegedly robbed of victory against Mayweather in Mayweather-Castillo I. Bottom line is, a win is a win regardless of the controversy. Both are great fighters. In the eyes of many, if not all, 50-50 ppv revenue sharing is fair and just. Unfortunately, Mayweather only sees himself and nothing else. Mayweather definitely outranks Pacquiao (and everyone else) by miles in terms of inflated ego and arrogance.
I thought Marquez-Pacquiao 2 was a record-breaker for the lower weights? Not that it's entirely relevant, just stood out to me.
Completely different, scenario...1. Dela Hoya is 100 times the fighter Diaz is and 2. it was being fought a v competitive weight. What your saying is if Floyd fought Arreola at heavyweight its the same as the Diaz fight because they are both "belt holders" - lunacy , your comparing apples with oranges That being said i am sick of both of them , they are both little princess bitches and dont care for the fight anymore , i would v much rather watch Marquez
