CUP,

I got similar information and created a thread earlier. So maybe that's corroboration.

Thank you for linking that. Sorry, I would have posted in your thread had I known about or seen that thread.

Also, you mentioned they are already shooting 24/7 for PBF-JMM...that's amazing this far out...I really didn't think they'd even do one for this fight, just a countdown show, but HBO loves Floyd and boxing needs Floyd (and I'm not a Mayweather fan), so it makes a lot of sense, especially building toward PBF-Pac.

That is not only crazy, it is AMAZING. Just a smidge below Trinidad-Vargas! And beating out much "bigger" fights. Wow, Tito was really something in his prime...
