Facts are a mother****er when they don't support your idiotic opinion, aren't they? :yep Like it or not, Floyd's in a far better position from a negotiating standpoint and it doesn't matter what you think a mother****er "deserves".
Pac is still the bigger draw IMO. There are stories behind all those numbers. Floyd is simply the better Cherrypicker. He picks fighters coming off wins(smart thing to do) which obviously adds to the interest of a fight.
It's all about hype. Tyson was no longer a serious contender at that point, but the general public somehow still thought he was, and he still brought excitement with his erratic behavior. Him biting Lennox's leg at the presser alone probably brought in a ton of PPV buyers.
can't fault him for controlling bigger risks and coming out with better rewards. emmanuel only has himself to blame for not being in a similar position. A more prime Mosley than the one Mayweather fought offered a fight but emmanuel turned it down
...And was coming off a horrific beating at the hands of Margarita, who Mosley had just disposed of. Mosley had far more juice than Cotto at that point, and that's not even debatable. :deal
so if picking fighters coming off wins is cherrypicking, what does that make picking fighters coming off devastating losses?
Cotto UD12 Mosley. Floyd ducked Pacquiao by refusing 50/50. THat's all chubby little fella! THANKS! :hi:
Floyd UD12 the Mosley that Pacquiao ducked. Pacquiao ducked Floyd by refusing blood tests. You lose again, ******. :yep
I buy every PPV...even the Rios vs Abril/Marquez vs fedchecnko type PPV's. I do this cause I'm a fan who wants to watch as much boxing as possible, nothing worse than missing a fight and hearing about it later.
Follow the stream, my friend. . . Follow the stream :yep Quality streams out there, and if you have the setup, you can screen it on your television. . . When boxing tries to phook you, YOU phook boxing!
