Perhaps because Floyd doesn't want to help Manny promote his fight with Marquez.
This Right here! Why is it when Floyd is in the media people say he he need to be quite and get off their t.v and take his dad and uncle with him but when they are silent the exact same people say way isn't Floyd talking? why is he silent, I think they be going through Mayweather withdrawal or something because the only people that bring up the fat that he is not saying anything are the people who claims to hate his guts and wish he would retire, when being silent is virtually the same thing as being retired
he probably doesnt get camera time because nobody knows who he is.
We dont know that he isnt going, only that hes not on the camera. That is something I personally respect that even though he gets his fighters paid he does not out shine them or hype himself up as the guy that is getting fighters paid and being out there. but he is also not a promoter so he really don't have to be out there like that but from what type of pay he is getting fighters like Keith Thruman (is getting six figures ) his ego is not big want the fame that comes with wealth, but then again he has been wealthy for a while
he is at Broner's fights alot because they are both from Cincy, He has been wealthy since the 70's (people forget he promoted the Eddie Murphy Raw tour which is still the highest grossing comedy tour ever)and he is like the other wealthy people who been getting it for a long time that dont really like to be seen, Hell if Floyd didn't start mentioning his name people would still not know of him unless you watched his TV shows and saw his names in the credits or was like me in the 90's that used to go to the Budweiser super-fest
He must have some interest, unless he just went after Floyd for kicks. I know Gabriel Montoya says he's obscenely wealthy from his concert promotion business and definitely doesn't need the money boxing might make him.
No He got into boxing because of Vernon Forest there is a great interview that Sam Watson Did at the Sergio v. Kelly fight when he explained why and how they got into boxing one of the posters on here had it up before
If you have had your trigger pulled, your brain will also wire it self to shut down to stop further damage when traumatic damage happens again it is a subconscious defense for the brain to protect it self from sustaining more trauma
Reading Comprehensions is what most people lacks, it Clearly states he has the "CHANCE TO EARN UP TO 30 MILLION" it does not say he is WILL MAKE 30 MILLION his purse is 9 million with performance bonuses which is still outstanding
2 years into the decade lol I was thinking the same thing, I guess they think that there will not be another boxer to come along in the next 7 years that would be as good as the current 39 yr old Marquez and the current 34 year old Pacman so they went ahead and gave it to one of them now so they won't have to do it in the future
He throws it when he knows he is going to land it and when you are not expecting it, its not a hard shot but it is a solid shot like a good stiff jab, the speed,the timing and the fact that he throws it when your not expecting it is what makes it effective
You Guys are forgetting that Cotto Got an 8 MILLION dollar Base purse with 35% of a pay per view that did 1.5 MILLION buys, with no options on his next fights, catch weights, re- hydration clause or any of that other bull**** that Big Bob, Pac and Freddy like to put in contracts and by the way his manager said Cotto wanted testing.
Could some one explain to me why should he take a purse that was smaller albeit not by much that will do less in pay per view than throw in the catch weight, and the Bob Arum Contract options.
why would he accept that offer AFTER seeing the business model that Floyd and Shaffer uses which he now will use with the help of Shaffer and being able to sell out MSG on top of that
Remember this is the SECOND TIME Cotto told them F.U. the first time he ended up fighting Floyd and now he is in the same Business mode as Floyd where he would KEEP most of the revenue HE Generates.
Much Respect for Cotto
there is only ONE fighter that does not want to be in his shoes
Boxers do have the ability to Cut each other on purpose, that has always been a strategy if an opponet cuts easy you throw slicing punches. in the Hatton vs floyd, Hatton had not been cut in 3 YEARS before the fight floyd camp kept saying they are going to stop hatton on cuts Lampley even mentions it during the ring walk fast forward to the third round floyd hits hatton with 3 slicing punches and cuts hattons eye yes you can cut someone on purpose, erik morrales was great at cutting people up because he threw sharp slicing punches
It was Never ment to be what it has become( a popularity contest) there should not e a list of P4P fighters it was ment as a title for 1 man SSR because although Joe was the HWC pound 4 pound he would not beat SSR
whats funny is Cotto said it how it is and watch how it will be twisted to Cotto was scared of the beating etc. People don't even realize Oscar didn't make Oscar type Money until he left and Arum hated Oscar( and still do) until Floyd left now he has 2 runaway slaves to hate( which is why its hard for him to do business with them 2) and now Cotto has left the plantation watch how Cotto will get turned on, Bob probably put an electric fence around his Plantation to keep Rios from leaving that's who he has to worry about leaving next because he is his next breakout star and he is american, notice how all of Bobs American born stars get big, get smart than leave, and yes Cotto is from PR but people from PR are american citizens.
50 is going to put his fighters in a position that they only can fight top rank fighters which is sad because they are good fighters and top rank dont have many in the weight classes that dib gamboa and dirrell are in
He ****ted on Al Haymon and tried to snake him out of His main fighter, Al is going to hardball 50 and try to RAPE his Pockets if you want Gamboa v Broner Al and Golden boy will say "**** you, pay me", you want to get a fight on showtime or HBO that is not on a top rank card "**** you pay me" 50 is going to ride with Bob until Bob bleeds him, Bob doesn't see 50 as a promoter he see him as a new revenue stream mark my words
50 is a bully and was successful being one in rap but in boxing it will not work because it is already full of bullies and have seen people like him come and go what will sustain him is his wealth but you cant bully Showtime or hbo into putting your fighters on tv
Thank You, you get it! when did who was promoting a fight became more important than it being a good fight, I remember when Arum complained about HBO buying nothing but Golden Boy fights. the fact of the matter is GBP along with Al Haymon has amassed a stable of Quality fighters and also have been putting on very good fights for a few years now( but they have been over shadowed by the may/pac drama), they have been matching their guys against each other and co-promoting alot with Shaw and Dibiella I don't understand the complaining honestly. the only fighter that they have that is being protected is Alvarez because he is a bonified next big draw regardless all of their of their other fighters are in sink or swim and if a few draws emerges from it so be it
I am not a top rank hater I have always like the way they bring up fighters to stardom but I am saying Bob always complain about anyone who is comp I remember when he was *****ing about HBO doing the same thing and you are right that is one of the reasons Ross got the can, IMO I think because GBP has a Overall more valuable stable of fighters the net works will always cater to them, Like I love Rios as a fighter but we will never see him vs lucas/danny/ojoesae/khan etc. or any solid 140 except Alvarado/ and his only option is Pac which is great but he is boxed in just like I would love to see donaire vs the Mares/Mareno if he and rigo wont fight but that wont happen either TBob beiong Bob is boxing himself into a corner the only way a GBP vs TP fight will happen now is if it is a mandatory like Vanes v. Lara
HBO overpaid for fights for more than a decade even out-biding THEMSELF for fights HBO also has had Al Haymon managed fighters exclusively since the 90's why wasn't this an issue when it was HBO who was doing the exact same thing for a solid 5-6 years2004-2009 80% of hbo fights were GBP fights why is it an issue now that show time has an output deal I got both channels which between them cost me around 30 dollars a month so I dont care who has the better fights as long as I get to see good fights
J.Prince don't mess around, dude is the definition of a boss most of these guys don't know that J.Prince was getting millions before most of them were born, him Eazy-E and Luke were the ONLY black owned INDEPENDENT Rap labels in the Early 80's, he was also one of the REAL people that turned Drug money into Rap money before these rappers who pretend they did it started lieing about it. thats why the FBI Chased him for almost 2 decades and became so overzealous about it that Congress DID get involved and had the FBI cease going after him
