Why did Floyd reject the Oscar rematch?

There sounds something very wrong with this. I used to have a hobby of running a Dixieland Jazz Band. We were well known locally and did most of the work. But sometimes the organizations just didn't have the money to pay our usual fee, and the band guys would grumble. My reasoning always was that we liked playing, and it was better to play for $100 each than not play for $150...... That's 110% true in nearly every case an that's why u have to give Floyd credit. Winky, Mosley, Hopkins , etc.... have turned down big money only to go on & make scraps which is what Oscar thought would happen to Floyd. That's another point. Oscar has had million fights an guys only had moderatly bigger names after him but Floyd became a mega star. He did what others couldn't, proved Oscar wrong, so that's why he deserves his due

So you're saying Mosley should've got a 50/50 split for the rematch? As far as I recall-and I admit I'm not absolutely certain, but almost- Mosley refused the original rematch because he felt that since he won, he should get more. I think he either turned down, or wanted (one or the other) $12 millions. This was why the return didn't take place for a few years. By that time, Mosley was a different fighter, and although he won by unanimous decision, didn't do nearly as well as in the first fight, which although a split decision, should have been a clear 116-112 or 117-111 win for Mosley. Oscar had a lot of pull.

so, Oscar had things too. He was a Mexican American, came out the Olympics heavily backed by HBO and crowned the Golden Boy before he even had a fight. You have to give Floyd props for coming up the harder way and still making it big. Also, it wasnt all Oscar. 24/7 was a huge thing and that was Floyd's ideal. Thats what really sells fights now and no one masters it like Floyd. There sounds something very wrong with this. I used to have a hobby of running a Dixieland Jazz Band.

I think it was because Floyd smelt a rat and new if he fought Oscar for a second time the judges would of scored the bout controversially in favour of Oscar so there would have to be a third mega fight. "Think"..."would have"....Would have"....You forgot to add "shudda"...and "cudda".... None of the above. It was because he wanted 100% of the PPV..........

no....he should have gotten 60/40 with him getting 60.he won the first damn fight :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

not ironic at all he BEAT Oscar and Oscar still wanted more money Oscar, despite having lost.. still pulls in more money. Mayweather never deserved as much as him.

Bigger draw gets more $...period. Just like Chavez Jr is entitled to more money if he ever fights Sergio Martinez. Lol at anyone who thinks Floyd is or ever was a bigger draw than Oscar

no....he should have gotten 60/40 with him getting 60.he won the first damn fight The fuk does that have to do with anything? You talk about being a smart business man but you think winning and losing and belts actually have something to do with purse splits? If Pacquaio loses to Tim Bradley, you really think that fagggot is getting a bigger split for the rematch? Its about who the bigger draw is. Yeah it's sh1t but thats the reality.

So you're saying Mosley should've got a 50/50 split for the rematch? no....he should have gotten 60/40 with him getting 60.he won the first damn fight

Mosley IS AN IDIOT...Floyd IS A SMART BUSINESS MAN HUGE DIFFERENCE. So you're saying Mosley should've got a 50/50 split for the rematch?

thats a lame excuse, oscar was the bigger draw!!!:bottle::bottle: the both were apart of the largest ppv of all time and floyd won and was the champ.he made a smart move

What does that have to do with anything? Did Mosley get a 50/50 split in the rematch with Oscar? Mosley IS AN IDIOT...Floyd IS A SMART BUSINESS MAN HUGE DIFFERENCE.

all thanks to Oscar without Oscar fighting him NONE would have known who he was his PPV numbers were garbage before that fight check baldomir's and judah numbers...the Oscar fight introduced floyd to the mainstream same way the oscar fight with pac made pac into a PPV and household name so, Oscar had things too. He was a Mexican American, came out the Olympics heavily backed by HBO and crowned the Golden Boy before he even had a fight. You have to give Floyd props for coming up the harder way and still making it big. Also, it wasnt all Oscar. 24/7 was a huge thing and that was Floyd's ideal. Thats what really sells fights now and no one masters it like Floyd.

Sort of the same reason Winky turned down a Taylor rematch. Winky thought he had won the first fight, and the fight was a Draw anyways, but Taylor/DiBella still wanted the lions share while Winky was asking for 50-50. This situation is different, Mayweather actually beat De La Hoya, they sold a record breaking 2.4Mill PPV's TOGETHER, and DLH still wanted the lion's share. Floyd wasn't gonna bend down for Oscar. I thought Floyd did the right thing, he ended up becoming an established PPV seller anyways. No harm, no foul.

It was because Oscar was trying to rape him like he does everyone else and like he did Floyd the 1st time. I think Floyd really wanted the rematch because he felt he could look alot better the 2nd time around but he also felt that even though Oscar was the main draw, he still sold way more PPV buys with Floyd then he did everyone else. Floyd also was the driving force behind 24/7 which was a big part of the buys, Floyd sold the fight way harder than Oscar, and it was Floyd who was the P4P best with the W over Oscar. Most of all Oscar felt he could pimp Floyd and Floyd couldnt draw without him while Floyd felt that he could be a mega star with or without Oscar. Fast forward and Floyd has proven that he doesnt need Oscar (atleast not anymore).

Check Hooks and PAc-boy go fuk off :D I will never join your cult for I am a fan of boxing you psychotic douche bags :D

Cuz he knows that he wouldn't get another gift decision

cause he won the fight and Oscar still wanted the lions share of the money Thats a lame excuse, Oscar was the bigger draw!!!:bottle::bottle:

not ironic at all he BEAT Oscar and Oscar still wanted more money What does that have to do with anything? Did Mosley get a 50/50 split in the rematch with Oscar?

Because Oscar wouldn't give him a 50/50 split How ironic. not ironic at all he BEAT Oscar and Oscar still wanted more money
