Well, your lucky I cam back to this thread lol, I never really intended to look at this thread again. Hatton is a bigger star in England then Floyd is in the US, I never said otherwise, my points about the Hatton fight is that Hatton is not some huge PPV star in the US so 850-900k is damn impressive, anything over 500k to me is a very very good ppv (300k+ is pretty good). All Floyd's fights made money on PPV, so they were all successful to some degree. Bringing up the past really does nottalk about the situation in the present, things change. Floyd is one of the biggest names in boxing, even the most casual of fan knows the name and has an opinion on him (in the US is what I am talking about).
He did big business in the last 2 fights he was in, and before that he was doing ok business, to come out of retirement he should not really take a paycut atleast he should be looking to try to max out the money he will make. My whole point was that he was not wrong for asking for 20 million, because you do not know if you do not try. By the same token Golden Boy can think Floyd is worth whatever they think he is worth. Make Floyd an offer he can't refuse he will come back, I do not know what he will agree too but for the right price I am pretty sure he will fight again.
Have you ever hear the line that goes like " A man asks a woman if she will sleep with him for $100, she says no. He says what about $1,000, she just as quickly says no. He says what about $10,000, she hesitently says no. So then he says what about $1 million, she quickly says yes. Then the man asks whould you sleep with me for $20,000, the woman asks did you not already ask me to sleep with you for a million why would I do it for $20,000. Since we have already determined that you are a whore, now we are negotiating on a price"
