    We all know Manny is signed to 2 companies. If you deny that your just a dickrider. Lets say the terms are 50/50. Floyd gets 50 percent. Thats 50 percent left for Bob to share and everyone else assoiciated with Team Pac. If any of you read the court documents that GBP hit Top Rank with(it's at the scene) it stated that GBP gets 23percent of Pacs purse under a Top Rank promoted event(which Bob hasn't paid hence the lawsuit) and 33percent if GBP is the main promoter for the fight. It's vice versa for Top Rank. If they are the main promotion they get 33percent and 23 percent if GBP is.

    Now were back at 50 percent profits that have to be divided up between Bob and Team Pac. Automatically take away 23 percent of that 50 percent and give it to GBP and your left with 27 percent for Team Pac to share.A fight with Floyd actually makes Bob lose money. So of course this idiot is only going to keep it in house where he gets around 60% of the profits since he collects from both fighters that are under Top Rank. Manny gets his little 10 million,maybe a bit more. Cotto and Margarito have only been getting like 4 to 6 million. Same will be with Shane Mosley who isn't a draw and never has been.

    Plus Floyd is asking for drug tests up to the fight. No cutt offs. Not only will Bob not be making as much money as usual keeping things in house but theres a good chance his best cash cow takes a huge loss in generating money if Manny loses.All his hype will be useless after that. There's no way in hell Bob does or ever wanted a fight with Floyd. I truly feel Bob only uses Floyd to promote his Manny fights. And it's done him some good.

    Unless Top rank gets 27% of ALL the profit. ( including Floyd's )

    27% of 50% is only 13.5%

    That sounds pretty interesting, it could explain a lot, what and where are all your sources for all of this? Is it all summed up on box-on-the-scene? Who's the guy that found all this out, if this where legit (which would by no means shock me) it would explain a lot behind the "politics" of this fight ever happening...:think

    Floyd is also clearly the bigger draw, and he's not the type to settle for 50/50 for fans sake, meaning bob and emmanuel make even less.

    You forgot to add the fact the Floyd himself told the media that he already lost his "urge" and he's on vacation. Try and stick with the FACTS.

    Arum is the smartest promotor in the history of boxing.

    Even as a Floyd fan, I have to say he gave a dumbAZZ answer by saying, "I don't have the urge right now."

    this idiot, doesn't know what facts are. It's fact that Manny is signed to two companies and he has to pay both a percentage

    Arum wanted Floyd to go to Don King. What's preventing Floyd from doing so? Nothing. So why isn't Floyd fighting Pac yet?

    Could this be another story that Floydettes are cooking so Floyd will not look as bad?

    PBF is not technically promoted by GBP like traditional GBP fighters. He pays them flat fee during promoter to promoter negotiations.

    You are getting in legalese here regarding the status of GBP with PBF. Without view of their actual contract it would be near impossible to say the legal standing of GBP in a Pac vs May fight. If it is a TR + GBP + Mayweather Promotions then what?
    You know Mayweather wants to be promoted by MP - to increase his profit.


    Bottom line is, we know **** about the contracts that involves these fighters and promoters. You are extrapolating tremendous amount of stuff from the filed papers. Most of the details will not happen until discovery phase.


    TL:DR - we dont know **** and this thus thread fails.
