    so no, he didnt want to fight floyd
    Whoa calm down, i actually agree with you. I was just trying to be neutral with the info we have been given but its my personal opinion that the 2nd negotiations were bs and set up for floyd not to agree.

    If a guy really wants to do business with you he would come and talk to you. He wouldnt tell guy A to tell guy B to tell guy c to ask floyd about the fight and then after not actually speaking to floyd give him a deadline. it was disrespectful. It was set up for floyd to say no.

      No, Floyd was actually OK with looking at the possibility in fighting in Texas. This would not have been aginst a Clottey like opponent. They could of sold the tickets at reg value and with the attendance make more than Vegas. At the end Floyd is a business man and wanted to see what Texas was going to bring.

      Nobody, not even MGM would of outbid Jerry Jones to hold that fight. He would of paid whatever. So there was more money in Texas.

      Top rank wanted the fight in Texas because of the relationship with Jerry Jones.

      However, it was GBP who wanted the fight in Vegas because they're in bed with the MGM and have some kid of deal. So GBP stood firm about Vegas. And, GBP got is wish.

      And, in Nevada has a standard size ring. 20x20. Nobody was going to change that.

      So the size of the ring and the venue Pac/top rank didn't get their wish or demand or what have you. However, the 10mil/lb and the glove size they got.

      Is a big myth that Pac got every single demand and that Floyd only had one demand Which is really not true.

      But, like I said you can't say no to OST. Pac should of agreed to that without complaints especially after Floyd gave him a window of 14 days.

        And what are you doing. talking about what could be if there was no test. lol Do you think before you write this stuff.

          Anyways, the Paulie fight showed Hatton had something left wasn't completely ruined. If he was shot or completely ruined he would not had beaten Paulie.
          yeah, but not enough for Pac. then throw in hatton switching trainers and styles plus having a bad camp.

          he was tailormade for knocking out. i thought he looked like **** against paulie. def wasnt the same hatton

                  Yes but he had that trainer for Paulie and still won. Is not like he change for the Pac fight. He changed it for a top 10 guy that he came out victorious in.

                  And, again Hatton was the #1 guy at 140. So, I don't see the beef.

                      Why do people think IMDAZED is a *****? I neve understood that. I am not even sure he is a Floyd fan.

                      I know he is a fan of OST and cleaning up the sport. But, so should every true boxing fan be a fan of that.
