That means Don King will do whatever he can to maximize the return. He will do whatever he can to make sure he doesn't go in the negative. So that sure as hell means that Sergio Martinez, Paul Williams, Andre Berto, Timothy Bradley are definitely out of the picture. They do not generate enough interests and money to create a massive return.
So who will be Floyd's opponents? Pacquiao is a given. But who else?
how so?
most of the fighters that will make money for floyd & king have promoters & signed deals.
That doesn't stop King from getting a percentage in the fighters future fights, David Haye signed with King and Sauerland when he fought Valuev.
Simple 3 fights with Pacquiao can give Floyd 75mil..
Since some people feel Floyd would school Pac like nothing, if Floyd were smart and had the confidence his fans have, he would fight him 3 or maybe 4x like a Marquez vs. Vazquez 4...
Too bad we cant get Floyd to get into the ring once with Pacman..
King will want to see a profit so he will put Mayweather in money making fights. It will be King who decides who Mayweather fights.
Dude King is gonna have his hands in that gauranteed 25 million per fight as well.
Floyd will face b class fighters like Matthew Hatton in the UK, Josh Clottey in South Africa and Cintron is some place like abu dabi. People will think WTF is wrong with King....he is losing money....only to find out King was getting a huge as chunk of that 100 million gauranteed to Floyd.
king doesnt have none of the big name fighters. lots of promoters & tv people have shied away from dealing with king. dk doesnt have the same stature & clout like he used to. just ask nate campbell & juan diaz. fighters who had immense trouble securing fights due to the fact that they were signed with king.
it took them a lot of time & lawyer fees just to get out from under king.
That's because King always wants a part of a fighter that fights his fighters, Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing and any fighter will jump at the chance of fighting him (apart from Pacquiao) even if they have to sign with King.
This is shit, King is going to want the Pacquiao fight last, because if he takes the Pacquiao fight first and Mayweather loses his stock will fall.
hehe, Dawm, that painfully true tho.
how you come up with that conclusion?
If floyd is guaranteed 25 mill, then it means the exact opposite, fighting non threatening opposition much like roy jones jr. with his multi year hbo contract.
he can fight who he wants, not what the public wants because he's guaranteed 25 mill.
King will want to see a profit so he will put Mayweather in money making fights. It will be King who decides who Mayweather fights.
true that...what no ceilings has failed to mention is the size of floyd's balls.....nothing is locked when youre talking about a huge bitch ass!
Intelligent stuff mate. Keep it up.
No need to get technical. Ofcourse all 4 could die tomorrow in car crashes (God forbid).
Im assuming everything goes to plan those are OBVIOUSLY the 4 biggest money earning WW fights in boxing and that cant be debated.
No, its not just "everyone dieing in car crashes".
Boxing is a strange sport with a lot of difficult characters with massive egos. No fight is ever a lock. Anything could get in the way of those fights.
What I am saying is we should all just take a step back and wait for things to actually happen, at least at some initial level, before we plant ourselves 4 years down the track and have a 37 year old Mayweather fighting p4p ranked Alvarez in Mexico in front of 100,000 people.
No one is b1tching about Floyd's decision. If anything I'm actually typing that outta love.
The last thing I would want to see 10 years down the road is Floyd living at the wild card gym, sweeping the floor and holding mitts for guys like Benevidez and Khan.
That could happen with any and every fighter. With this 4 fight deal and King will only go after HUGE money fights I doubt he'll be broke.
He could be down to his last penny and come back and fight again. Or train fighters. The guy is not dumb like NSB makes him out to be. The dude is a multi-millionaire for a reason.
Im just glad I get to watch an ATG and HOF fighter fight 4 more times.
Why are Pac fans bitching about this?
One minute yall laughing saying that Foyd isnt thinking about boxing then he allegedly is locked in for 4 more fights and yall bitching that he'll be broke.
Shut the fukk up and be happy a guy with his talent will continue fighting.

Surely recent events must have communicated to you that because of the nature of this sport nothing in boxing is a "lock".

Miguel Cotto is a lock.
Amir Khan is a lock.
Pacquiao is a lock.
Alvarez could be the 4th.
Those are 4 of the biggest money fights in boxing. Period. King knows that too.

Tyson had more leverage and pull than Mayweather. People fail to realize how clever King is. He is both street smart and book smart and can hustle anyone.
Not only that, but Floyd is not the smartest person business wise, and the best thing that happened to Floyd was Al Haymon.
Yeah and Tyson also made 300 million but lost it all

Are you sure about that. I could have swore Al Haymon had a lot to with Floyd success (business wise) in the sport of boxing.
So Al Haymon told him to create a character to increase his value, market, and salary? Floyd knows more about the business of boxing than people think he knows. He learned a lot after he was screwed by Arum and outsmarted Arum. Ellerbe had more to do with Floyd's career than Haymon. If Haymon is so good... Why can't his other boxers be stars and be able to sell PPVs? Floyd doesn't need Haymon because Ellerbe does most of the work for Team Mayweather.
What has Haymon done for Floyd since Floyd became a star?
The difference is Floyd knows the business of boxing and has some very good lawyers compare to the boxers that were screwed by Don King.
Are you sure about that. I could have swore Al Haymon had a lot to with Floyd success (business wise) in the sport of boxing.
