A million plus is a good payday and a career high but when you compare it to what the other guy is making it looks like chump change.Comment

This just doesn't cross their minds. Like, maybe they are asking because they believe he is--no seriously, they do. Or gasp, maybe they know even more stuff that has led them to this conclusion? Maybe? Just maybe? No? Ok.Comment

Arum is tops once again. Throw Clottey a mere 1 million(which happens to be a Very Very small percentage of what will be generated) + a "percentage" of ppv sales and some people believe that he is doing right by "his" fighter. We all know that Clottey came from poverty (Arum is certain to remind him), but he is geting shafted on this one. Clottey, for one is gracious for the exposure alone. He made that point abundantly clear throughout the build-up in his bout against Cotto. Blame his "handlers" for being gullible and foolhardy as well. Is it his biggest payday? of course. Could they offer him more? Without question. But as long as Arum spoon feeds, He'll be happy. You can picture Arum throwing Clottey that "Bone" {Remember Joshua, you came from poverty?}....and clottey on the other end: "Thanks for allowing me to share the stage with Pacquiao". Arum is a "genius." Go FigureLast edited by steptwome; 01-21-2010, 06:04 PM.Comment

Joshua had the smile of a big lottery winner at the press-con. If he would not have accepted the purse split, he would have likely been waiting for another big payday for a little while longer. Seems he had no better choice.
1.6-7 mill after all expenses is not too bad if he can invest it wisely. He stands to earn much more if he can pull off the upset. I'm sure he's aware that if he loses to Pacquiao he'll be back in line waiting for another shot at the title and less money.Comment

Ok JRo let's take PBF out of the equation. Is random testing right for boxing or wrong? Refusing to be tested is not good for anyone in boxing and frankly it shouldnt be allowed. We the fans who support boxing should be demanding random test. Manny is not above the law and you know like a lot of other people if it was the other way around you and many others would be calling for Floyd's head so let's be real dude.Comment

They ACTUALLY think he is on somehting. This is not a ploy or bad joke. Cotto, Cintron, Berto, Paulie, Mosley, Kellerman, Roger,Haymon, Shaw, DiBella, Jeff, Jr.,Oscar, Schafer, Paulie and many boxing writers have their eyebrows raised on Pacman.
I also think hes cheating. Theres a reason Shaw, GBP, DiBella and Floyd said no test NO PAC FIGHT.
Mosley made Pac look like a fool he accepted the OST's in one day...lmao.Last edited by -Reflexes-; 01-21-2010, 06:13 PM.Comment

I want random blood testing as a mandatory... I been on record saying if we get it we have to thank Floyd... But, I think people think is easy to say if you are clean just take it... Is not that simple IMO... I am not mad at Pac or at Floyd... I hold the blame more on the commission and the sanctioning bodies... You would think after Mosley and Holyfield that they would have better testing... But, like I said plenty of times is easy from far away to say I would do it and when is not you... SRL didn't say it...Ok JRo let's take PBF out of the equation. Is random testing right for boxing or wrong? Refusing to be tested is not good for anyone in boxing and frankly it shouldnt be allowed.
