When will the Cold War end?

Haymon and Scaheffer are starting their own group, and TR fighters will continue to be TR fighters even when Arum leaves. More money to split that way. If Pac/Floyd can't build bridges, then no fight can. Unless of course, there's some random fight that takes place sometime in the future between both promtions, and the fire gets lit from there, but I doubt it. Mares/Donaire was the best chance of that happening. Well if anything, I think the whole Pac-Floyd situation burned that bridge more so than built it

yup...when both PAC and Floyd retire and they're scrambling to make fights...eventually they'll have to work with each other again My train of thought exactly. But what happens if one of them is too stubborn to end it? I think GBP would survive much longer than TR

Its all tied to PPV. Once it becomes harder to put on big PPVs inhouse, they will have to change. True story......

When the status quo changes. It could change in any number of ways including but not limited to, a new star emerges, a third promotional group gains some power, HBO decides to talk to GBP again, Showtime decides to talk to Top Rank, a couple important guys unexpectedly fall off the face of the Earth for one side, or things turn south for one side financially. I don't think either side thinks they are losing and even if they do think that they certainly aren't in the throw in the towel mode at the moment.

there's gonna come a point that making a cross promotional fight would equal just a wee bit more money than an in-house fight...that's when the 'thawing' begins then 10 years later when both are working freely with each other again, they'll look back at how bad they fvcked up the megafight everyone wanted Agree. Once Pac and Floyd leave, they'll have no choice. Both sides have enough of the elite talent spread around that they're gonna have to budge, otherwise boxing WILL be on life support for real this time. For now, at least we do get to see a Pac and Floyd fight. Once they leave, people will be like, "okay, they're both gone, can we at least get great match ups?" I know right. They'll both be kicking themselves in the ass.

yup...when both PAC and Floyd retire and they're scrambling to make fights...eventually they'll have to work with each other again On second thought, I think this is true. Once neither side has game changing bargaining chips, they'll be forced to work with one another to get $$$. For now, each side has trump cards in Pac and Floyd.

When Floyd retires, or when he no longer sees any threat from the other side of the fence. The economics of Floyd are just that distorting.
