    Repeat: Les Moonves didn't have to call Mayweather to get things started. That wasn't the person that needed convincing. He called Bob Arum first. And to give credit where credit is due: Roach told Moonves to call Arum.

    Just FYI.

    And no, this kind of money is being made possible because of the joint promotion of HBO/Showtime. It's a huge event with a 5 year build up. They would have received LESS MONEY in 2010 for this fight. Sad for the fans, but true.

    Don't be stupid! :lol::lol:

    The fight is FIVE YEARS past it's peak! Jesus, are you new? Floyd would've got a MASSIVE purse, one bigger than the one he's getting had he took the fight in 2010.

    idiotic conclusions. Both fighters had extremely limited options. For Floyd, a Cotto rematch still makes money. A Kahn fight just makes enough to not break even. Now for Pacquiao, lets see. Cant fight Cotto, same trainer. Kahn fight would do good if it was in the UK, but greedy ass Arum would want it in Macao. So his only real option, was the "official backup plan" Jesse Vargas.

    And that folks pretty much sums this all up. so instead of complaining like little school girls, sit back and enjoy the fact that the fight we have been yearning for is finally a reality.

    BOXING RULES!!!!

    Moonves we are told, told both guys that this is how much you guys can potentially make. Quit fooling yourselves. He said even that with Pacs **** ppv, you guys can still sell 3 mil ppv's.

    They keep saying Floyds ppv's went down and that Moonves told Floyd and only Floyd this. Stfu lol... Floyds ppv's still equal a profit for SHO. Always did. Hell, I can do the math lol.

    If Moonves threatened floyd which sounds stupid af, why did he wait until now to get involved lol? He saw that there was a real chance that this fight could happen and chimed in. He knows how to make money. He let both sides know that this is the potential that each of you can make.

    So, Floyd MONEY Mayweather, the most astute businessman in all of sports had NO IDEA how much he'd make fighting Manny in the SIX YEARS that the fight has been bandied about for?

    I find it VERY hard to believe that Floyd never ONCE thought "Hang on, I can earn $100 mill from ONE fight instead of THREE fights? Let's make it happen!"

    So it took an executive at a TV CHANNEL to break it down to Floyd how much he'd earn? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    You really are dense aren't you?

    Someone has yet to explain what exactly CBS could have done if Floyd picked Cotto/Kahn.

    He had a contract.

    How was he "forced" to do anything?
