    Of course it's a good idea. But if you figured that already, why did you say it was Floyd's idea? I was just think it's hilarious the way you look at Floyd and try to give him cred for anything you like. You may have chnged your nick, but you are still the same poster. :D

    Hey I gave credit to HBO first and then Emritus said that Floyd was very active in the negotiations and made it seem like he came up with the idea, so I'm just trying to give the right person props

    I gave props to Arum as well when he put it on CBS :good

    You, and Floyd, and the fans, and HBO can all thank Arum for this. :D

    This will go over much better with the casuals than Pac vs Mosley. Mayweather and Ortiz are far more interesting personalities, talk more **** and both are english speaking....not to mention 24/7 is a far better production than 360 on showtime. This will suck in the casuals and lead to excellent ppv #'s

    I agree with Ortiz and Floyd being more intresting, but the last few 24/7's...just felt too scripted. Like some bull**** 'feel good fluff piece' the news might show. 360 is better, at least right now.

    The 360 for Pac/Mosley was a total fluff piece and had no drama whatsoever to it.

    The 360 for the Super Six has been awesome though.

    They should go back to using 24/7 for Pac. The Pac/Cotto 24/7 shits all over the 360 for Pac/Mosley. All the juicy stuff was taken out because they wanted to try to grab casual viewers on CBS with the fluff.

    With all the drama surrounding Floyd and PAC...it's incredible to see that BOTH men have the kind of leverage to obtain this kind of platform to help Boxing as a whole. Two completely different men who are completely different in every way who are able to take boxing to higher levels! We love it.

    Totally stepping the game up. Arum needs to make damn sure there's a spectacular undercard for the Pac/JMM PPV to stay competitive. While not likely, I'd ****ing love to see Donaire make an appearance on that card. And if there's another 360, put it on a CONSISTENT TIMESLOT.
