Al haymon rings a bell?

lol...................my God!

I'm not sure mate, but did it happen before? Where Floyd fought a Haymon stabler?

Who would he fight that brings the requisite paycheck that is in the same stable?

[Ray*]

If Floyd wanted to fight another fighter in the ?Haymon stable it would happen. The reverse obviously isn't going to be true.

Nah, I dont believe that. If Mayweather wants to fight Williams for example, Haymon might think Mayweather would lose to him and if he thinks that way he might not let the fight happen because marketing-wise Paul williams isnt going to bring in the sort of money Mayweather would. But If he knows Mayweather would beat Williams without hurt Williams marketability then he would probably say yes.

thats fantastic for facts apart from pacquiao did actually fight de la hoya and hatton.

He fought Hatton because Arum pulled into his own share and found an extra 2% for Moneyquaio who refused to fight Hatton without 50%.

Yes Foreman was the lineal champ. Do you want to go back and see how he was the lineal champ?

You still do not understand this 'lineal' thing. It's over man give it up lol...

I am more of a Bourne fan than a Bond fan.

I liked all the Bourne movies

And, I didn't like any of the Bond movies except the one with Halle Barry in it.... But, that is for obvious reasons.... It had nothing to do with the plot of the movie.

Me too. But it's a 50/50 fight.

it's got nothing to do with my avatar i can assure you. Perhaps you can lay out some reason i haven't read or heard that can convince me we shouldn't have OST (or that Pac shouldn't do it) that is even semi-convincing when you compare it to why we should have OST???

i am not for or against OST. what i am against is people finding excuses not to fight each other.

How many deadlines in Bob Arum issuing here? I could have sworn he told boxing scene about some other deadlines for this fight in the past.

I don't know, maybe this is the first time that I have heard a deadline for this negotiations. But, tbh I haven't really been following what is going on this time around. Because, I just don't care.

But, I know back in December. Arum was coming out every week with a new deadline.

65/35 Floyd and u got a fight, Cotto's value has fallen.

You work for team mayweather? Sounds like you got your knickers on a twist over **** that don't concern you

If they don't announce this fight in 2-3 weeks they are going to lose the casual fan.
