    Nobody.. even Bradley, Bradley's mother, Bradley's grandma, Floyd Mayweather, the blind man down the street, the 6 month old baby that don't know what boxing is BELIEVED that Bradley beat Pac!
    Really if Bradley did really beat Pac, before Pac got KOed by Marquez and when he was known for dominating guys like DLH, Hatton, Marg, Clottey, etc, Bradley would have been quite huge.

    I will agree though that even if Bradley did... The person that beats Floyd up becomes more of a sensation because people will be extremely happy that somebody shut him up. Most people that are happy to see Pac lose are Floyd's blind sheep that are jealous and thankful that Pac didn't hurt their boy. Floyd won't fight him so there proud to say that somebody else beat him and therefore now Floyd doesn't have to take the risk.
    Guys that fight Pac can't help but to say they like him and he's an extremely nice guy.

    Not to mention most guys Floyd fights lose their next match which takes away more of the luster.

    What exposure did Guerrero get?

    And nobody is getting any PPV incentives if it flops.

    its funny you say that.......cause everyone was crying about floyd saying pac/bradley fought like amatuers(floyd was asked if he watched the fight)....people whined and cried that floyd was disrespectful.....

    yet timmy went to floyds camp a few days before the maidana fight and the two talked and shared a laugh.....

    So wait, Guerrero, Maidana could get a PPV cut but Mayweather won't let Pac get even a single centavo from PPV?

    people misunderstand the whole 40 mil offer thing...and how that would work

    you see....floyd offered manny a flat fee of 40 mil....now that seems low on the surface.....but he was also going to have to pay arum for pacs services....pac was going to have that 40 mil paid directly to him...no questions asked.....then floyd/gb were going to pay arum directly themselves for pacs services.....but pac wasnt going to have to give arum any of his 40 mil ....arum was going to be taken care of by floyd/gb......then floyd would assume the risk of the promotion....floyd, haymon, and gb would be paying to promote it.....while TR would be allowed on the banner they would not be involved in the promotion or paying for it

    im not exactly sure what that number would have been for arum.....but take a look at floyd/canelo revenue and see what it generated total between gate and ppv revenue.......when you realize that pac was getting 40 mil and arum was going to be paid his cut seperately from that by floyd himself....youd realize that 40 mil isnt as bad as it sounds

    Excellent point to bring to the *****s

    Why can canelo get such a big Ppv cut but manny, who is just as big a draw as Floyd as their last Ppv proves gets 40 mil but zero PPV
