People over look a lot of things. Look at Arum, why is it that the 2 highest paid boxers of all time left him? Why didnt Arum not want to make DLH vs Floyd when floyd was top rank? Why is it that all fighters that people say floyd duck come from top rank? Why is it that as soon as cotto left top rank we got FLoyd vs Cotto? People quick to say who ducked who but overlook this know snake. I recall one of the excuses to not make the fight from Arum was that a Stadium wont be built in time. Even more shocking is pac fans ran with it.
All has zero chance , Cotto, Shane, Ortiz,Hatton, JMM, Guerrero and Pac is the easiest. atsch Why he ducked Pacquiao ?:rofl
If you have all these degrees you wouldnt ask that. You cant hand out purses like that. Everything has to be accounted for before the fight. Only thing that isnt is the PPV. You cant say if you win you get x amount the commission knows the fighters purses before the fight. Only thing you can do is give out a bonus after the fight but purses have to be set.
So what..The commission doesnt enforce ODST in the first place because they dont have the funds so your point is moot. All the testing being done now is paid for by the promoters and fighters.
I dont remember Floyd walking away from negotiation to the greener pastures of Joshua Clottey. I dont remember Floyd turning down 40 million then lose to Tim Bradley. I dont remember Floyd needing to build a new stadium to host a fight. I dont recall Floyd needing a blood test cut off date or no fight, I dont remember Floyd having a cut that was healed when Floyd was scheduled to go to prison but needed more time to heal when Floyd was rescheduled to go to prison. I dont remember Floyd asking Cotto, a guy he already beat for a rematch. I dont remember Floyd fighting Marquez 4 times and asking for 5th fight but meanwhile cant sign to fight Floyd once.
You' might be right, but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Okay say there's 1M on the table (ie gate revenue). That's accounted for. The only thing not accounted for is who's going to get what, but since there are only two options how hard can it be to have two unsigned checks for each fighter ready. Whoever wins gets the larger amount, the check is signed and the other one is voided. That's a hell of a lot easier to understand than what future PPV's will be, yet they seemed to figure out a way to resolve that. This isn't rocket science we're talking about, it seems to me it's relatively straight forward. Hard to believe that would stump the collective minds of whole boxing community. Hell a lot of sports work like that. Tennis and golf for example, the farther you go into a tennis tournament the bigger your payday.
Are you trying to tell me the commission has no over sight rule or enforcement powers? Who cares who pays for it, it still has to be approved by the commission and if they wanted to implement ODST I'm pretty sure they could. That's assuming ODST is even necessary to begin with.
" I'm on vacation ", " I lost my urge ", " Health comes first ", " I'm a rich coward ", $40M without ppvs shares ? You can't remember these too, right ? Plus, Pacquiao fought JMM 4 times even though Marquez is his Kryptonite. Yeah, Pac has bigger balls than Floyd.
Everyone involved need ****ing shooting for letting the biggest fight in boxing go down the shitter. Shouldn't be allowed to promote, train, or fight again, the fvcking lot of them. Could and should of been a great spectacle, all we got was never ending amounts of bull****.
