    No, it was $1mil per pound for the Oscar fight.

      People like to say Floyd is stealing money from the sport, I say throw Pac's name in there to, I have never seen a guy pray on over the hill, exposed fighters as much as he has, and if they aren't over the hill, he'll weight drain them and if they are prime, like Floyd, he wont negotiatie any demand other than his own.

        Im sure Roach said they'd just pull out. Although, to be fair, I just remembered Oscar was overweight for the Forbes fight.

          That ought to freshen your memory bank.

          And Oscar didn't come in overweight for the Forbes fight, he came in at the contracted weight, no? Difference?

            Right, we'll just pull out the fight...see that's something you can do when there are no rules governing a sport. Can you imagine the Lakers saying, we'll just pull out the game, who cares about game 7 we've played 6 already.

              The contracted weight was 150 and he came in over.

                I dont follow netball but if someone breaches a contracted agreement, then you have every right to pull out

                    Well, we've now proven that the agreement wasn't to pull out but rather an unprecedented $3mil for every pound over weight. And we've now proven there was no reason for them to do this.

                    In all seriousness...see my point, Dirk?
