    Two promoters would be getting part of the purse?

    So in the end everyone gets paid less.

    A $1000 for a ticket, during that weekend probably over $1000 from a flight, arund the same for a hotel room.....

    That's over $3000 spent and thats before you even get to Las Vegas the most pricey city in America with gambling and nightlife ect

    Not to many people are gonna spend that kinda money to watch a fight esp when they are gonna be in the nosebleed seat when then could easily pay $60 and watch it on there big screen HD TV.

    And nobody wants to talk about the price of actually building the stadium and then tearing it down then having to dispose of all the garbage..... That's a couple of million between labor and supplies.

    Of course.

    BUT GBP IS MAYWEATHER PROMOTER!!!!!! You can't expect him to go and work with Arum and give Arum his money. No He works with GBP and Pacquiao works with Top Rank.

    Are we going to act like almost every fight is a co promoted fight? Are we seriously gonna give Arum an excuse to not make the fight because he cant have it all to himself? Wow you ****s are getting sadder by the day.

    GBP has been involved in this fight the whole time lets not act like all of a sudden co promoting is a problem(which Arum seems to wanna make it a problem).

    Do you expect Mayweather to work with just Arum in promoting the fight?

    Issue for who? Arum?

    GBP has been involved from the start and it's never been a problem but when all the other excuses run dry this is the new one.

    Un ****ing believable.

    Do you actually think Arum is right to not make the fight unless he promotes it himself?

    all other excuses? This is the new one? I've been sayin from the beginning. The problem is not that it's a co-promotion it's that GBP is trying to push aside Arum's role in the promotion of the biggest fight of all time. You don't book a venue, pick a date, and sign contracts without talking it over with your co-promoter. It's ****ing stupid and doesn't work. That's the problem. It's not a new problem.

    Also, *****s are always sayng that Floyd has no obligations to GBP, so WTF is going on? Why would Floyd involve them at all

    All they did was book the date and the Arena. They had it already signed and Pacquiao doesn't have a fight so why not fight then?

    GBP isn't pushing Arum out of anything Arum is just using any excuse he can like the cut which is fine but everyone still wants to defend him.

    Why did Floyd involve GBP? I don't know why did they involve them in every fight he's had since leaving Top Rank? Whatever you just keep letting Bob make all the excuses and reasons not to make the fight that he wants. You are doing a great job.

    Yeah..... Thats what people wanna do spend thousands of dollars to fly and watch to ants in a square box.

    Those seats wont sell no one will waste money to go and watch a super fight that they are too far away to see. That's what TV is for.

    I doubt we will ever see an end. They are clearly good at it and they convince themselves and the other *******s they are right. Why stop?
