    I'm disappointed that HBO are buying this.

    They ought to just say to Pacquiao it's Marquez or no $$$$$$$$$$

    parlour's wife helped him stay clear of/beat alcoholism/gambling addiction or sumat. this in turn prolonged his career it was adjudged, so she was entitled(according to the court) to a certain percentage of his earnings over a certain amount as the argument was he would never have earned/ received that wage without her input.

    i heard it was one of the reasons he looked to move to a smaller club(added to the fact he wasnt so good at that point) as the lower wage meant her getting a smaller chunk from him

    Fair enough get 50% of his current wealth but then to get a cut of his future earnings is a joke don't you think??

    hmm i dunno, her side's argument is quite sound to be fair, if she hadn't helped him(which i believe she did, that wasn't up for debate really) then he wouldn't be in the position to accrue anything like that kind of money so she had a direct impact on his earning potential so was justified in getting a slice

    i can see where she's coming from, as long as she didnt get too much...

    24/7 is the daddy... the music, narrator, build up etc.

    And even better when Floyd Sr / Roger Mayweather show their intellectual side!

    in case no-one knew, the narrator for 24/7 is none other than Liev Schrieber (sp?), hollywood actor, he was sabretooth in the wolverine movie
