    the same way he came out when hatton called him and do just like he said he likes..
    "come back to steal some more money" **** if some one who i could probably beat calls me out and i knew that i could make a lot of money in the process i would certainly take the fight.... all the other **** your saying is purely speculation that nobody knows about. and no matter what you say about the sport moving on with out floyd.... people still want to see

    shane vs floyd
    cotto vs floyd
    pacman vs floyd

    more than any other fights in the sport pretty much.... you cant even make an honest list of 1 fight that would be higher than those three in terms of popular demand

    he is doing jmm a favor if you think about it.... he's giving jmm a chance to fight a legend, he's giving jmm a chance to make millions, he's giving jmm a chance to cement his name in the history books... jmm wasnt going to do any of this against any one else BUT FLOYD... and jmm CALLED HIM OUT! floyd DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE the fight.... so yes floyd is doing jmm the favor

    you cannot spin it any other way...

    What I find more amazing is that while Bob Arum supposedly gets 27% Evangelista Cotto wants 33% of Miguel Cotto purse for each fight they worked together. AAAHHHH THE FAMILY!!!!!

    Hey a lot of people are saying jmm has a huge chance & some even think floyd is the one that will have the problems. So maybe you dont want to see the fight, but a lot of other folks do.

    Exactly! I guess Al Haymon, Leonard Ellerbe, and Richard Schaefer all do charity work for Floyd.

    It has nothing to do whether i want to see the fight or not...I watch all notable fights....

    My point is I agree with you that floyd is doing JMM a favor but i dont think its best for boxing...

    what woudl be better though? no matter who floyd fights he will be the guy doing the favor

    shane is under floyd
    cotto is under floyd
    pacman is BARELY under floyd (a cotto victory will do something to change this)

    pacman didnt call him out, cotto didnt call him out, & shane will have to wait his turn or earn it because when he had his chance he passed up on it.

    jmm was the only guy who called floyd out and was ready to do whatever was necessary to fight him, and will just go on to set up floyd vs pac/cotto anyways.

    Excellent view.

    But then how can the 27% be possibly inclusive of the negotiation if pac wanted 50% of the pot as well assuming arum will not be involve?

    Unless the 27% is inclusive of the 100% then floyd has a valid reason to ***** about.
