if floyd retires again, he is ducking pac, martinez, and pwill!!! boxing fans are tired of this bull****!

Even if he does retires. He will not be ducking Martinez or P-Will.

How could you be ducking a fighter who is not your weight-class?

Now if they were in the same weight-class then there is a case. But, they're not he is not ducking those two guys.

So when Calzaghe retired he was ducking Dawson and a Hopkins rematch?

[jrosales13]

Are you sure about that? Floyd would love to beat another fighter who Manny ducked in his prime and win the belts at 160. Floyd can easily get 20 million for fighting Martinez.

Let's say they sell 850K PPVs.

850K = $51M

Live gate = Around $8-10M.

Site fee = Another $10-15.

This is not including close circuit, bars, movie theaters, sponsors, etc.

dude he is not getting 20mil guaranteed for Martinez man. Martinez doesn't bring that kind of name or fan base to the table.

Burner, you said he retired and ducked Dawson.

[jrosales13]

Its his way of telling pac & his people that he doesnt need
them to eat

That is the way I am taking it. Fans from both sides are making a big deal out of nothing.

I just ****ing hate Calzaghe so you have to excuse me...lol.

Dawson is bull****. But that boy did duck Pavlik thats a stone cold fact.

Martinez would accept a 90/10 split and Floyd would get a bigger cut of the PPVs and everything else. Floyd can carry a PPV like he has in the past.

What are you going to say when if he does fight Martinez?

[jrosales13]

That is why I was surprised you use that as an example.

If Manny retires he has ducked Yuri (because he was "too tall"),Paul Williams,Shane Mosely,USADA,and previously Floyd.

I give him props. But, I know if that fight comes off that guaranteed money will be lowered.

I am not saying he won't fight him. However, if he and his team are saying they will only fight Martinez for a 20mil guaranteed. And, won't reconsider to go lower. Then they will not fight Martinez.

Because, that type of money will not be there for Martinez. Again you talking about how he would carry by himself. But, he has yet to really done that. Now he has been the A side, the main draw. But, Shane had a name with the casual fans, Martinez doesn't. JMM was the biggest Mexican fighter in the U.S at the time. Had a country behind him Martinez doesn't. Hell Martinez is from Argentina and lives in Spain. Not the following that Shane or JMM has. Doesn't have the fans that would follow him every where like Ricky Hatton. Again Floyd was the man in these PPV's. But, he had some help.

Martinez doesn't bring none of that or that type of money to the table. I mean 20mil Guaranteed? He will not get that man.
