    Jesus, guy, could you post anything more stupid? I'm really hoping you can top this, because that'll be impressive.

    I don't think Arum paid J.M.M more than a mil for his rematch with PAc. That is the kind of shady business man Arum is. All the money for his fighters, and peanuts for their opponents. People actually blamed Marquez for NOT taking the immediate rematch with Pac. I thought Marquez was proving a point that money ain't everything, and that he should be paid what he is worth after his display of heart in their first fight...but some how fans actually thought that Marquez DIDN'T want a rematch with PAc lol. These fans are fans who don't know the details of what went down.

    Money doesn't equal talent. Look at football (soccer) Robinho is meant to be the highest paid player in the world by a distance but he's far from the best.

    No,part of it is definitely a popularity contest or Oscar would have never been paid so much.

    Why wasn't Roy Jones such a big draw then?

    What about Sweet Pea?

    while guys like Hatton, Trinidad and De la hoya are so popular.

    I have no idea why they are so popular. I guess people say Hatton is a "regular guy"!:lol:

    no way floyd is getting 15M. assuming jmm gets 5M at most, alone, it will translate to 800,000 ppv buys!

    do you think it will reach that figure?

    being the P4P king doesn't mean you're moreor less marketable than the next fighter though.

    look at roy jones and oscar. jones could never touch the sort of money oscar made.
