    thats what im trying to tell you

    the #'s of jmm vs mayweather will be irrelevant.... floyd is the most commercially known boxer in the sport besides oscar & pac has the most momentum in the sport right now by far.....

    what floyd vs jmm does wont have anything to do with anything....

    thats like saying oscar vs mayorga #'s had **** to do with the #'s of floyd vs oscar... they wont have anything to do with one another

    In other words "I see your numbers but wont acknowledge them."

    OBVIOUSLY PBF/Pac would be a bigger boxing event...but what's a bigger event for Top Rank? Not to mention Pac and Cotto would probably be relatively easy to make. Not to mention Arum makes out like a bandit through this.

    Floyd represents a lot of loops and pratfalls that Arum won't want to go through. It's not entirely out of the question that they won't meet in the middle ground.

    Not if he's gotta split it 50/50 with Floyd and Floyd's peoples.

    And my point is that you're underestimating how bitchy Floyd is and how much of a ***** Arum can be.

    It's like you haven't been down this road before.

    WTF? If M/M doesn't have the numbers, Arum won't be willing to give May what he wants for the fight. I'm not convinced of May's drawing ability right now and if his next fight doesn't do the numbers, Arum will make him grovel to get the fight.

    I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I could run down the gamut of fights that Floyd has shitted on with Arum because of their unwillingness to work.

    Not just that but **** I can list every Paul Williams fight with Arum we never got to see because of Arum's *******-ness.

    Last point first. From all I have read, I think Goosen was more to blame. That's a different thread though.

    Pac/Hatton almost didn't happen because his people in the Peens got in his ear about the cut. You think Pac is taking even or short money on this fight? Think again. He will want the bigger slice. He IS the face of boxing now. Mayweather will have to live with that unless he can beat him.

    Cotto and Clottey fights against Williams are on Bob Arum.

    The Paul Williams-Margarito issues are a hell of a lot more complicated and it's possible to say Goosen was more to blame.

    yeah but no fight with this type of financial output..... them other fights were just about bragging rights & shits n giggles... this fight is about the big bucks..... it will be more worth it to get it done then to have acts of pride

    To be fair you should've used more viral marketing.
