    He ended up making around $20 million against Hatton.

    At least you have always been honest about your assessment of Williams' chances of beating Floyd...:good I'll give you credit for that. And really...


    I don't understand why everyone is hopping all over Floyd for not fighting Williams, yet Shane who is a much bigger WW has outright refused to fight Williams....

    And Cotto is just as ****ing pitiful, hiding behind his promoter and ****.

    There is definitely a double standard here...

    Yeah, people talk **** about Floyd and the Margarito situation, but Floyd made almost as much for Hatton in one fight as he would have for three fights...


    But the Floyd haters refuse to acknowledge this as "smart business"


    But when their favorite fighter does it... "Boxing is a business"

    How come he didn't fight Hoya the second time if he's in such financial trouble?

    You think Williams will DEFINITELY beat Mayweather? I think he'd definitely be favored, but Mayweather would surely have a chance to out box him. Williams does have some big flaws. But you are right, the size advantage is HUGE.

    Telling floyd he can only get 7 mil each for the bigger draws cotto and hatton and then turn around and say 8 for marg makes no sense. Floyd wanted 10 each for Hatton and Cotto. How can you provide less money for the bigger draws? In addition to this nonsense he wasnt willing to make a DLH-Floyd fight his reasoning was: "I don't want to, because if I did that fight, I would be working for such a small percentage, it's not worth it,".

    Nevermind that DLH-Floyd would have been a huge fight, Arum didnt want to because his cut would be small. Floyd got a BS offer then Arum tried to spin it as if he turned down Marg.

    So according to you, he's in financial trouble but turned down an 8 figure payday because he was afraid to lose? I know you don't believe this.

    I agree.


    They all should be ashamed for freezing the one person out of the WW division who could be favored over all of them. Not just Floyd. Every one of the guys should be ashamed. But the fans are just as bad with this "I wanna see a mega fight" bull**** they keep talking about. What???? Is everyone a promoter now???

    Fans should want to see good ****ing fights. Not sit around and debate over who got the best PPV #s. And that's why people like Floyd do what they do.

    Why do PPL say Mayweather hasnt took any of the WWs challenges, WHOS CALLED OUT PBF AT WW??? The only one is Mosley and he had a chance to fight him in 99 and 06. He might get another shot, but PPL act like Berto,Clottey, or Cotto ever said "I want Mayweather.

    Like I've said before, if Cotto did what JMM did then the fight would've happen already.

    Are you saying I'm defending Floyd and bashing Cotto? All I said was that people bash Floyd at all costs. Cotto is trying to fight Pac, Floyd IS fighting JMM. How is JMM such an easier fight then Pac? Not to mention Cotto is bigger then Floyd. I'm a fan of both fighters, and understand the business of boxing and why and why not fighters fight and don't fight others.

    You are just posting nonsense, making no sense and trying to be funny with your Billl Gates and Bin Laden comparisons....but nobody is laughing :patsch
