Bob Arum: "Initial PPV numbers are in, final tally won't get lower than 650,000"

[THE REED]

On that subject I honestly believe is on Top Rank and Golden Boy. I think the deal breaker IMO was when Schafer didn't go to the Jones meetiing to fight in Dallas. Right after that I am not mistaken that is when everything started falling apart. And, Pac team started making crazy demands about 10mil/lb penalty for Floyd. Even though Floyd never came above 147. I might be having the dates confused but I think That crazy demand came after Schafer skipped the meeting. And, after that was when the OST thing blew up. Even though they did agreed to take it at first.

My point is this, IMO I think if Golden Boy agrees to fight in Dallas Top Rank would agree to OST. If Golden Boy insist in fighting in the MGM Top Rank would not do the OST. Now this is not a fact just me getting my Horus on with conspiracy theory.

I believe Floyd told GBP he doesn't want to fight in texas and that's why Schaeffer didn't go.

But that was wrong... regardless of what Floyd said, you still GO to the meeting. You entertain the idea, and you go. The tickets were already bought, the plans were already made. It was unprofessional to pull out like that. Especially in the middle of VERY SENSITIVE negotiations for this fight... you don't stir the pot like that.

You goto the meeting regardless if you plan on fighting there or not.

Yup I said that plenty of times. Arum wanted that 25 Million and the fight in Dallas. That was obvious as hell.

And, from what I hear Jerry Jones was willing to pay more. Nobody was going to outbid Jerry Jones for that fight. Even Floyd wanted to look into it. But, Golden boy has some kind of deal with MGM. And, from what I got is that MGM made Golden boy know where there bread was buttered. But, even Floyd was not agaisnt the Dallas idea. Because, Floyd is a business man he knew he would of made more money in Dallas. However, GBP sellfish ways wanted in the MGM.

I mean he had a countdown show road to dallas I think it was called plus Pacquiao was on a couple tv shows so it had some promotion and you know I don't think the numbers are bad at all but like i said when you compare Floyd avarage a million so its like even though Pacquiao did good ppv numbers he didn't do good enough

A 30 minute countdown really doesn't compare to a 4 part series show.

I heard Floyd was intruiged by the idea but it was Schafer who didn't want to go. But, I could be wrong. But, regardless like you said he should of went to the meeting. But, right after that is when everything fell apart.

look at the *******s trying to say 700k is a success. thats terrible when they claimed pac was the reason for 1.25 buys with cotto. then he doesnt 700 or less. thats bad.

flyd is the cash cow.

Floyd didnt wanna fight cotto because hes not a draw cuz hes from a small island. and his rib injury healed exactly on mexican day parade. thanks mexico for he millie buy!

The attendance numbers for this fight isn't something that you can sneeze at. But I really don't think this fight did all that good on PPV. I've gotta see it to believe it.

GBP and MGM sleep together.

How do you feel about them coming down to 24 days... and then proceed to take a blood test just 19 days from fight night with Clottey.

They were stuck at 24 and 14. 19 is right in the middle, and they walked away... only to do a 19 day blood test with Clottey.

[jrosales13]

GBP and MGM sleep together.

I know, they do... Just like how I think right now Jerry Jones and Arum are in bed together.

didnt floyd walk away from money in the proposed DLH rematch? out of principle?
