      Because honestly speaking ; he's the only boxer who's wealth they even give a **** about. It's some morbid obsession with another man's money that I don't quite understand.

      When's the last time you saw a "boxing is a business" type supportive of anybody else trying to exploit that to get more money?

      Where was their support when Hopkins wanted his (rightful) 60 percent against Jones for a possible rematch?
      Please tell me you are not on Hopkins side with that?


      Hopkins had NO RIGHT to 60% and always feared a rematch with Jones Jr...and I'm specifically talking about before Jones Jr.'s moved up to fight Ruiz (and before his losses).

      He used Roy's name the same way Hatton used to use Floyd's name to promote his fights. The only difference: Hatton had no choice but to end up fighting Floyd while Hopkins continued to talk a big game but bitched out.

      Who won when their first fought? Roy
      Who was P4P #1 when they had their shouting matches about a rematch? Roy.

          Well, Hopkins has certainly accomplished much more than Jones in recent years, and is still looked upon favorably by the entire boxing world when it comes to talks of accomplishment and "pound for pound" debate.

          Regardless, let's not make this a thread about that.

          Where were the "boxing is a business" crowd (particularly, the Floyd fans) when Manny demanded more against Ricky?

          Or any other time when any fight not named Floyd tried to get a bigger cut of a purse?

          Where were they when margarito wanted more money to fight Mosley?

            You seem to equate everything about race nowadays.
            Lots of asians, latinos aside from blacks are in the ****** but why do you have to specifically cite only one colour?

              I just want to be clear on that.



              But, on the real,


              lol at the audacity of you of all people,

              to come into my thread,


              while having me,


              on

              ignore.


              If you have me on ignore,

              why are you even reading my threads
              ?

              You shouldn't worry so much about it: Carnivore has me on ignore all the time and I still allow him to post on my threads.
              No big deal.

                First of all if i bring up race its for a good reason, when i brought it up earlier it was to illustrate my nonsensical point which was just as asnine as youre assertion that floyd is "****** entertainment".

                Second of all, i dont think you have any idea about my posting habits, or my usage of race.

                3rd of all, why do you SPECIFICLY associate what floyd is doing as "****** entertainment". Please, id love to know why. Because im sure you dont say roach's trash talking is "****** entertainment". Im sure you wouldnt equate pauli malignaggis antics as "****** entertainment". So please, stop deflecting and explain what that meant.

                    So we'll talk Hopkins vs. Roy another time.


                    At the end of the day, it's about the numbers you draw and how much your "name" means to the opponent and/or fight. A lot is factored in.

                    Manny vs. Ricky: Ricky was the draw over Manny...that's % up in favor of Ricky. Name? well, both have a "name" so it goes back to the numbers.

                    Margarito: It would be about the numbers and again...the name.
                    So who is more accomplished holds some weight but more importantly...who brings in the $$$
