      oscar offered him 35 MILLION DOLLARS..... floyd wanted 50


      I cant see Arum offering Floyd 35 million, let alone 50 million....

      Cottos name might get bigger but I still dont think he ll ever be the type of attraction that De La Hoya is...

            i dont think cotto beating floyd would be considered that big a upset. to the normal folk who dont know Cotto it would but not to those who follow boxing IMO

                Floyd was upset that Oscar offered 35 when Oscar was standing to make more than double and Floyd beat him the last time.

He said Mayweather will return to the sport, but not against Cotto or Margarito. [details]

                      There is a difference with that though. PBF let De la Hoya have everything catered to him their 1st fight which PBF won. De la Hoya made money 2 ways that night as the fighter and promoter. PBF won the fight so why shouldn't **** be on a more level playing field this time around. It seems to that is what PBF was asking for and De la Hoya told him no. So fight off, I for one am not sad that **** is not happening.

                      PBF knows if he fights Cotto it will be for anything between 15-25 million. To me it is starting to seem like damn near everything in boxing is scripted except what happens in the ring. For example on 24/7 with PBF and Hatton. PBF said that he told Ellerbe to make the ****ing fight happen after the **** Hatton said. But in a interview later after the fight I believe somebody from Hatton's camp said they were negoiating PBF vs. Hatton for 3 years. Boxing is starting to have a fake ass story line with the only thing being real is the fight in the ring without corrupt judges.
