Your right most of the fight negotiations came together too fast and in the end all of this bull**** that the real fight public is stomaching right now is more or less part of the promotion.
Arum hates Oscar, Floyd and Schaefer and Im sure he feels it is his right to gain some sort of upper hand with regards to negotiations (Floyd feels the same way). On the other hand Floyd believes genuinely in his mind that he is the man and that some of the concessions he believes he has already made like 50-50 and the 10 mil per pound are sufficient and it is his turn to make Manny/Arum bend. (Note-I dont believe the 50-50 or the 10 mil were REAL concession but Floyd does therefore it is what it is.)
Also remember that GBP has a serious bone to pic with Pac who not too long ago they thought was a fighter in their stable only to have that melt away in court. Pac then retired the biggest cash cow in the sport in his brutal beating of Oscar-Im sure GBP loved that!)
In the end the causal sport fan who RARELY pays attention to boxing but loves sports is watching and listening to all of this and thinks the fight may not ever come off (We are all cult fans here and we can all talk about the random sports guys talking to us about the fight in the past 2 weeks). Ultimately the publicity will do the fight good and the numbers will reach that crazy 3 million PPV buys figure in part because of the pub that all this drug talk has generated.
Like the the thread starter said-it all came together too easy-many of us are tired of the bull**** regardless of whos side you are on...one thing is for sure however the dollar figure for the fight is going up by the day and if this fight does 3 million PPV buys instead of 2.5 I think you have the drug negotiations to thank...ya think?
