    There has always been a little a-side, b-side thing going on, just not to this extent that it is played nowadays. Sugar Ray Leonard was the a-side in all of his fights and he knew it, but he wasn't as greedy as certain guys are nowadays. I think the main problem is Oscar. He thinks he can negotiate for Canelo like Floyd was able to do for himself and it is ruining the sport. I'm not a big fan of Floyd, but he was a special case who just knew how to sell fights and made hundreds of millions of dollars doing it. Canelo is not even close to Floyd when it comes to selling a fight, he doesn't even speak English for pete's sake. I think the first Leonard-Hearns fight was something like $10 mil to 5 mil for Leonard even though Sugar Ray was probably a bigger draw than that and could have held out for more. Frankly, I'm sick of the whole thing and won't put another nickel in coke-head Oscar's pocket. He can take his a-side nonsense and stick it in his cross-dressing behind.:ARMS1:

    Where did you originally claim any fighter sole 97k ??? I've been seeing that number for years but it's never been associated with any ppv event

    I understand that 1 guy draws the water and therefore calls thr shots

    I do hate when A side fighters bend the rules just a little further to really negotiate a real advantage

    The commission or sanctioning body should dictate ring size and gloves and testing blah blah

    So much arbitrary **** that cancels fights or causes pre fight controversy could be avoided if boxing just established concrete rules
