    Very difficult to quantify then what big box office is these days.He's big box office against a big name,just like many other fighters.
    Seems Delahoya was the last of the big attractions in their own right,like, Dempsey,Ali, Leonard,Tyson etc.
    Now its double A sides.With Floyd one of several about.

    Sure I have. The Oscar rematch a possible Hatton rematch. I wish he hadn't retired many more good fights left but if his heart isn;t in boxing anymore it's best he stay retired.

    But what you fail to mention is that Mosley did turn PBF down. Am I wrong am I making this **** up?

    I might be. My boy has a ticket and might not be able to make it because his wife is expected to give birth around that time.

    Mosley did turn Floyd down, that is fact~ However I think Mosley turning Floyd down infact is the reason Floyd got that big money fight with De La Hoya, so Floyd should be grateful.

    and if he is thinking about comming back he would be a complete moron not to take this fight, its simple Mosley is worth more today as a result of his Knock out Win over Margarito than he was worth yesterday when he turned down Mayweather.

    There is big money to be made, and shane isnt a spring chicken and if Cotto and shane fight each other again Floyd could be lossing out on that money to fight shane.

    I think its safe to say that either Floyd is serious about leaving the sport, or he is soley looking for Manny Pacquiao nothing more. either way, he is leaving money out there on the table, but I am sure the risk is the hump he is trying to get over.

    I'm thinking about it too. My boy said he saw some decent seats for only 77 bucks. I need to sit up high anyway. I'm only 5'8 and cant have people standing up in front of me when the fight gets interesting.

    I am honestly done trying to convince people of this fact, the boy is gone from the sport and that is a good thing.
