    it seems like in the past when gbp & tr has joined forces to set up a fight (margo vs shane for example) 1 promotional company is paid step aside money while the other handles 100% of the promotions (with the other company signage present)


    In this instance do you think bob arum would accept this step aside money in the promotion? Obviously Floyd won't be the one allowing TR to handle the promotions with the type of money he sees during his fights. Floyd vs Pac isn't about pacquiao or floyd any more. it's about bob arum wanting to control the promotion.

    I just threw out 20 mil. I don't know what the actual figures look like, but I would have to imagine that GBP got less than 20 for doing margarito vs mosley.

    tr takes 27.5% from the gross profit of a pac fight for promotional fee.

    when all of this are over, no one will be remembered how much they earned in their careers.

    next few dedcades, next superstars will be worth billions.

    floyd and pac's ear nings will pale in comparison just like leonard\s against todya\s stars.

    tyson earned 300m+ and lost all of them. he is still around and well.

    they will be talked about once someone surface that would mimic or surpass what they have accomplished: pac for winning 8 champs in 8 weight classes, floyd for ducking pac,.

    when another cherry picking coward surfaces in the future, floyd's name will always come up.

    and, i would say, floyd will be like the kim k. of boxing but broner beat him to it.

    He should if such an offer was made. The guy is a millionaire already and is over 80.

    At this stage it is not about money-Arum has all the money he could possibly spend.It's all about ego and who promotes it.
    Schaefer is just as nuts as Bob.:nut
