Richard Schaefer says he is willing to sit-down with Top Rank and have a Firm look at

They would more than likely total up their highest fights in the past so many years and not the total of fights they had.

Basically, Per average.

Floyd praised Schaefer leading up to the Cotto fight. And if Schaefer is saying this without ever mentioning it to Floyd...yes, it would be bad. However, do you think Schaefer would be doing it without some approval as Representative ?

 

No worries.

Yes. the topic gets tiresome. But then I start up again until I get tired of it. I need another hobby or cure for my insomnia

 

And fighters predict KO's all the time and it doesn't work out. It's hype.

Should we go down the list of things Arum, Roach, and others have said ?

It's more than likely going to go on a fight by fight basis given it is for one fight. So, it will be the average.

They just have more than one example for each to work off of on what they are able to generate in each fight.

 

Most of the boxing world are fans that want to see the fight and not the two fighters that want to get what they are worth (or in this case, possibly more than they are worth). only the fighters have their numbers. Only the fighters see what goes into their bank account. All numbers aside that we see isn't what the real numbers are going into their account.

I hear 22+ million for Pac in this fight. 50+ million for Floyd in this fight. Sounds good. Sounds like Floyd is getting more money than Pac. True, or False ? I don't know. I don't have his bank account number.

Boxers can be stubborn when it comes to business.

And this fight can fall through.

the main reason why it was said that Oscar vs. Floyd II fell through was over Money. Money being, "Money May" overvaluing himself according to O$car.

Other times, any money lost in the first fight can be made up in the second fight.

 

Same reason why rappers throw around bitches and money in their videos but when the director calls "cut," they go home with their plan white t-shirt, saggy old pants, and no hoes. It's for the cameras.

Same reason why Donald Trump acts like he is the richest man in the world.


I don't really get it. I wouldn't do it myself although maybe I would let someone else do it if it is proven to be affective.

But sometimes there is some sanity to it. It does work sometimes. When you are over-hype something, over-valuing it...increasing the hype...and in this case, praise how many people are going to buy it....sometimes...it works on the viewers who may have been on the fence in buying it or some that weren't...now want to be a part of it because they don't want to be left out.

 

Really ?

You just see what the draw was for each fighter. It's not like they were fighting on the same card.
Richie-boy went through what they would be looking at. However, like another poster brought up, I'm not sure how this works out given Floyd is said to have his hands in promotional money and other ventures.

As far as extra viewers, that is covered in the percentage. Now it wouldn't be covered in the buyout; which is why Pac more than likely laughed it off. you get your guarantee and then the cut of the PPV buys and so on.
