    I got the impression it was more fan support and money. Just my take on what he said.

    You obviously didn't think this our or bother reading the thread. As a result, you just made a fool of yourself. Nice job. :thumbsup

    There's no point in really talking about Goosen based fighters (specifically Paul Williams) against Top Rank fighters (specifically Cotto, Pavlik, Clottey) because the promoters hate one another.

    It's like Godzilla vs The Moon Man fights....noone wins.

    I wish we had a legit quote to get a better gauge on this thing. I'm only going off the hand me down quote from Boorad.

    He talks more and more like Arum has his ear of late.

    You know what sealed this for me? An interview where Goosen said Arum could have come up with more money because he had a pool of $5 million for the card. So Pav and Paul get paid and everyone else fights for free? Yeah, lots of **** out there, but sometimes if you pick around you can get through it.

    Math. $2.5 for Kelly. $1.5 for Paul. There goes $4mill and Paul wanted more? Arum was married to that $2.5 at the time insisting Kelly wasn't taking a pay cut from the Lockett fight. We see how that held up after the Bhop fight. For some reason people want a lot of money AND a title shot against Kelly. This started when Duddy was supposed to get $1 mill for fighting Kelly. Thing is, Duddy puts asses in seats. That is why he was in line for that much money. Mora priced himself out first time around also. Not this fight is still not signed? Hmmmm.....

    Nothing against your man Paul. Good guy. I like him. But, he is a more natural 154 pounder. I'd like to see him fight Lyell.

    This is a very good simple breakdown of how ****ed up things can be in the boxing spectrum.

    Yeah. WW is so devoid of talent that Floyd had to go two weight classes down to find an opponent. :patsch

    Just a nice way to show a simple example of boxing issues mucking up things. It's why so many great fights don't EVER get going.
