    Why is he in that position to do that? huh you obv cant answer me.

    because he EARNED IT. He promoted him self to this level. He beat every one they put in front of him. Even the ones they said he couldn't beat.

    it also helps that Floyd loves to start up some sh$t every now and then. This helps his fights sell.

        Why take a tough fight when you get almost as much for an easy one.

        Don't like the way he screws over his opponents with the split.

        All fight should be 50/50 or even 65/35 for the winner.
        with this logic, why do you support Pac vs Marquez 3?

        it was quite obv to many fans and viewers he could not box properly at this weight when he fought Floyd......

              Haha like you're some boxing analyst.. Yeah it's Chad Dawson, the guy everyone has been picking as the only hope against BHop, and when a legend faces his main threat they get some perks. There was no budget for it being regular HBO, BHop can't wait another year, and they damn sure aren't making it happen on ESPN, so what are they supposed to do?

                  No the amount Floyd will be making and Mosley would have had a punches chance if he would have been brave enough to try it.

                  Ortiz doesn't even have that. Why pay for a fight that I not only know who will win I know how the fight will go.

                  I prefer competitive fights.

                      yes Larry...so was Montiel-Donaire and guess what? that wasnt on ppv


                      Mares-Agbeko, before the foul fest was a fight fan dream match....that wasnt on ppv


                      the Super 6 tourney in which every fight was a great match...that wasnt on ppv


                      and you're telling me Chad Dawson's timid ass vs Hopkins should be?


                      why? because Hopkins is a ****ing dinosaur?
