Smart move by Floyd to move off March 13th date

[FLY TY]

If Floyd Mayweather wanted to, he can get the HBO date on March 13th. Him wanting to fight on May 1st is like the big boys lettings the little kids play in the basketball court first.

Bob Arum was also hinting to making it a Top Rank PPV, because he knew damn well if May wanted he could have taken the date on HBO and with no competition neither, Pacquiao-Clottey is not PPV material. Mosley-Mayweather is PPV material.


Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports said: “Floyd may mean more to his sport than they (basketball players LeBron James or Kobe Bryant) do to their sport because we don’t have the depth of star power in boxing as they do in those sports.”


Enough said.

exactly. with pac running for office, a fight this summer is out of the question for him......he HAD to fight in march, against mayweather or not, or risk sitting out for about a year......

Or could be attributed to the fact that HBO couldnt touch it because Top Rank and GBP were goin through a lawsuit for Pacquiao's promotional rights at the time.

Which would explain why morales 3 was on HBO, but earlier that year he fought Larios on top rank ppv, then he fought Solis the next year on top rank PPV, yet fought barrera on HBO ppv. Explain that.

The fact is, all of mayweathers fights were worthy to be purchased by HBO, PPV or not, and pacs werent. Get over that ****. Pac also has a built in fanbase of people willing to clearly take a load of cum to the face for him if asked, mayweather has no such ethnic contingent and still built himself into a draw. Man there are times when mayweather ****ing disgusts me, there are times when mayweather acts and talks like a ****ing *******, but this **** you guys pull with pac on a daily basis is borderline ***g0try.

Yes he can but May and september are the two months that HBO alway reserve for their biggest fight/fighters, De la Hoya use to own May and September dates from HBO but now any Mayweather fight or Pacqauio fight would be number priority for those fights.

you can also add December to that too. That is why I always felt Pac-Floyd was never happening in March.

You forget that floyd never even had ppv until he fought gatti and that was at 140. The american public never cared about fights under welterweight.

Pac/Morales 360k was a record for ppv buys under welterweight. Only passed by pac/marquez 400k and pac/hatton 800k.

How many ppvs did floyd have under welterweight??? Hell how many ppvs did Floyd even have where he was the A side??? just against Baldomir. and we know how well that did.

Theyve had 3 common opponents and one guy sold more ppvs with those opponents than the other...Floyd gets a clean sweep.

When Pac was asked to carry a card pre-DLH he did a deflating 160k with Diaz. When Floyd was asked to carry a card pre-DLH he did a substantial 340kNumbers dont lie.

to avoid going head to head in PPV numbers with Pacquiao.

If Floyd fought Mosley on the same day Pacs fight would flop , are you as ****** as your posts suggest , your propping Pac for ducking Floyd and then fighting a fighter that is coming of a loss to the guy you just beat , and Clottey is controlled by the same promoter WTF , its not scripted by Arum for Clottey to win , buddy you fall into scams like ditches , best you stay away from car salesmen if your old enough because they will fleece an easy target like yourself .

Its to not have any association whatsoever with a drug cheat. Who wants their name floating around on the same day as juicer, no one.
