ummm learn to read!!!

1.25 million is not a record, and i never said it was!!! the gate revenue was 2nd highest for non heavys!!!

And YES i know the difference between the two!!!

:bukkake:

The fact is that Floyd-Ortiz is not the 2nd highest gate revenue for non heavies...

So if you do know the difference then you're absolutely wring.

Blah Blah... Tell us something we don't know...

Neither Floyd nor Pac wants to fight Martinez right now!! its obvious!

Risk to reward ratio is too high!!

I'm tired of people yelling out Martinez!! I do agree he is a priority fight for both Floyd and Pac at some point.. But his situation is a tricky one... He does the right thing by taking on actual legit mandatories... Problem is the casual fans won't care to watch. So in a sense he is being PUNISHED FINANCIALLY for being a great fighter who takes on all comers which is bull****.. This happens when you're as dangerous as Sergio is. People don't want to risk a loss especially when they don't stand to earn alot. You have to put yourself in Floyd or Pac's shoes... neither is scared as they both operate in a profession which requires taking punches for a living. But when asked if you would like to fight little Marquez for 1.4 or 1.5 mill ppv buys ($20 million guaranteed) vs fighting Martinez for 850,000 or 900,000 ppv buys (maybe $10 million or $15 million guaranteed) EVEN YOU WOULD FIGHT MARQUEZ! In the end it sucks to be Sergio Martinez cuz you can't land a Mega-fight because you are too dangerous. I mean I feel sorry for the guy... WHAT CAN HE DO??

But we already know this so realistically don't expect Sergio to land a fight with either man, especially Pacman...

You're out of mind if you think, Floyd, doesn't want to risk his 0, because it's directly tied into his identity and his earning power. This is boxing, at some point the best MUST get put in with the best. Not fights that "you", no offense, some dude who sits on his couch and watches fights wants. You're not a businessman involved in the business of boxing, you're a fan, like the rest of us. Tyson upon leaving prison had a road carved out for him that led to Holyfield, and eventually Lewis. All this risk vs reward bulls*t is business talk, be a fan and demand the best fights possible. Today's boxing market is spoiled by HBO money and PPV money and it's to the detriment of the sport. Nobody gives a **** about Berto or Maidana, hell I rather see Mayweather fight Khan, if he pusses out again of negotiations.

Like I said, you were confused and didn't know the difference. That's PPV revenue...Not GATE revenue...PPV revenue is how much money they made off PPV's. GATE revenue is how much money the made off ticket sales.

[Pactards GTFO]

Dude, nobody's perfect! Are you from Philippines? I know some pinoys and they love correcting other people's little mistakes. I doubt you are from Mexico, a lot of Mexicans are having problem with English too. Are you going to humiliate them too? Iceman's right, this is not a English classroom.

No I'm not filipino lol

I just like correcting spelling errors and punctuation errors when someone is blatantly trying to call someone else an "idiot"

It makes it even funnier. And are you implying all Mexicans are ****** and can't spell? You are wrong.

[Rok4]

Mayweather "Im the A side...take my offer or leave it"...sounds like floyd is tring to get ready to avoid the fight again. Lol

[eklok]

50/50 , floyd already lining up an excuse

[Larrysbird]

I guess we wont be seeing Pac - May anytime soon if this is true.

[iloveboxing2]

I understand what you are trying to say but dude, this is a boxing forum not English class. Are you going to correct all those Mexican illiterate and make fun of them too? Your English are probably better than Ice, but that doesn't make you smarter that him or any other person here. Talk **** about boxing if you would like but don't bring up language BS here. There are too many nationalities here in the states that are having problems communicating. If you understand what the other guy is trying to say, then that's all it matters. Dude, this is a boxing forum, stick to it!
