Comments Thread For: Clottey Guaranteed One Million Plus Pay-Per-View Upside

Seriously, you guys that think Arum takes percentage of purses are just Mayweather/De La Hoya parakeets. They are the only 2 that ever said that. There was a 27% clause in their respected contracts that Arum could invoke if they fought on another promoters card where Arum had not financial upside. When Arum promotes a card it is against federal law for him to take a percentage of a fighters purse, while he is also receiving site fees, liscencing fees, ad dollars, etc.... on the same fight.

It's called the Muhammad Ali Act. Study up on it.

lol, its funny that the guys who scream it the loudest,

"THIS IS A BUSINESS",

don't even know the half of it.

You can't use logic here, when you have fans of a certain fighter and when they have hate against a certain fighter....

Interesting that you brought up men of color.


How often does a a man of color get stopped by police and accused of wrongdoing when they are innocent?

Now, how often does the accused happily say, "ok, I have nothing to hide, strip search me to your hearts content"?


They don't happily oblige, they are pissed that they are even put in the situation in the first place and if they know the law,

they don't bow down unless there is reasonable cause.

Incredible comparison. I will steal it.

A million? WTF! That is like pennies on the dollar. Bad, bad, bad deal for Clottey.

You can use this one too.

A father asks for the birth certificate of the pitcher who keeps striking out his son and the majority of his teammates, as well as the rest of the league.

even though both boys have played in the same league for years, gone to the same school for years, and even had the same teachers for years.


Jealous fathers will do anything to discredit an athlete who just might be better than their own kid.

Sure you can Im a boxing fan first. I was a huge Pacman fan until he ran from a Marquez 3rd fight then mysteriously developed a huge punch, a granite chin and became stronger and able to walk through fighters 20 pounds heavier than him.

He has always had a huge punch. He could possibly be stronger because with the added weight he is not starving his body of the valuable proteins in order to make a smaller weight. I don't know and neither do you. I hardly think his chin can be described as granite. Why would you describe his chin as granite?

Yes I do. I heard a politician say today "its never a right time to do whats right"
I think if Hearns would've asked Hagler or Hagler would've asked Leonard they would've did it because they would want people to know that they were clean.
I read a great article today. For those who haven't read it:
