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

[IMDAZED]

Was the 19 days ever offered from either side though? I thought Floyd offer of 14 days was final and that was about as lineant as they would of gone?

I read a week ago that somebody close to the negotions said Top offered a 20 day cutoff date and it got turned down. However, I am not sure how true that story is. I think if that was the case we would of heard something a long time ago.

I am not sure why top rank didn't say 19 day cutoff. However, i also think by that time both sides were already getting fed up with each other.

That's because the 19 day rumor is false. And was never offered by either party.

Which is why I don't buy into it too much.

A reporter heard from a guy in the Pac camp?

If anything Arum would be making it known they came down not ONCE but TWICE.. to make them look better.

We never heard any of this, from the mediator in the negotiations or from anyone else.

Lets also not forget Floyd came UP 14 days... and Pac came down only 6. Or if you want to buy into "the guy who told the guy"... then 10 days.

[Calilloyd]

how about PAC fights Shane and THEN compare those numbers with floyds

Or how about we compare Pac's numbers against Hatton, JMM, and Delahoya as opposed to Floyd's.

Yeah, I see the courting has begin . Not a bad match, actually but Arum made me laugh when he spoke of Pavlik filling up that stadium.

I think I even read that they would want Chavez Jr-Duddy in that stadium also. Pac-Valero might happen if Valero can get his visa in that stadium. And, like if you just mention if Pavlik beats Martinez. Pavlik will be fighting in that stadium.

But, I honestly prefer football and baseball stadiums then Casino's. The atmosphere is different.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Yeah, usually money is the bottom line. Which is what makes Pacquiao-Mayweather's stalled negotiations so...damning.

wait, so Floyd can walk away from all that money because he didnt want to give in to Oscar's demands?

Generally the Casinos will offer more money though because their ROI is based on the flock of people ******** during fight week.

Unless your Jerry Jones and can just pull it out of your back pocket.

Wasnt Pac about to walk away from Hatton over money?

Until Hatton CAVED in to Pacs demands.




And who in GODS name was going to buy Oscar-Floyd 2?

What demand did Oscar have?

[Calilloyd]

Yeah........Pac/Mosley would utterly destroy May/Mosley..........even now, that is becoming the fight people are starting to talk about.

Who's talking about it? The last time it was brought up Roach said it wouldn't happen unless Mosley weighs no more than 142. So who's been talking about it since then? And you should check out Mayweather-Pacquaio numbers against common opponents before making false statements.

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

True but I never said it did I just said the fight had some promotion that's a lot more than they have been doing for any other fights latley
