The Devil ice-skates to work this morning.

LOL.

What a delicious turn of events.

No kidding! I never saw anything like this coming. Boxing is a crazy business. Looking forward to seeing this all unfurl. Definitely seems it all has to do with one thing, and that is the mega-fight.

So one of Koncz's ideas is to maybe have a PPV with 2 fights and a concert? That will never work. What the hell kind of boxing fan buys a PPV to see a concert in between the boxing matches.

I seem to remember in the pro wrestling business Eric Bischoff tried that same idea on Monday Night Nitro over a decade ago. The ratings went down the toilet. Actually, their rating were already down the toilet but whatever this made it worse. Why? Fans wanted to see wrestling not music.

Same thing here. Fans pay to see BOXING not concerts. Oh well, it will be fun watching all this fail no matter what they try to come up with.

The new age fan has been saying for years, on this site, that boxing needs to more like WWE.

They've been getting their wishes granted in the past year.

I honestly think this could all have something to do with Manny getting maximum profits from a Floyd-Pac fight, and not having to give certain %'s to Arum. I really do think so. That fight doesn't need big time promoters.

maybe, I recall an interview with Floyd where he said something along the lines of wanting to keep the money between him and pacquiao, and not arum...Manny might also think, "The event is big enough, I don't need Arum [for this promotion at least]. Moves like these would make sense in that regard (with Floyd beside), but it all reverts back to 50 not having the experience as a promoter (or Koncz really). I didn't comment about the 50-Floyd venture cause it gets pointless on this website, I would've been called a hater or maybe even pac*ard for some reason, but seriously getting involved with 50 is a big risk, are you willing to take?

but there may be a misquote - maybe it's not a joint venture as it is a co-promotion...which is no big deal.

BoxingScene.com has confirmed that eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao, and rapper 50 Cent, are going to move forward with a joint promotional venture - according to Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz.

In an earlier story, multiple sources advised BoxingScene that TMT Promotions, the promotional company recently started by 50 Cent, was already closing shop.

so it was initially going to be floyd 50 and manny, but floyd didnt to be part of it?

Sounds like he really doesny want to fight pacquiao.

First blood testing, then he asks for 100m, then he offers pac a deal with no ppv cut, and now that the fight was so close to be made, he splits?

I think theres no longer any doubt about whos ducking who.

TMT + Floyd = original plan, IMHO.

Floyd suggests friend Fifty starts TMT. Fifty says yes, thinking he will be part of the Paq megafight. Fifty starts talking to Paq's people and assumes to have Floyd's go signal. Wheels move. Floyd changes his mind, all of a sudden.

Fifty is pissed and throws in the towel. Joining forces with Koncz is probably an afterthought.

[flint]

mayweather working his magic.

[KnockoutKings]

Man a promotional company headed by Floyd and Pac would be epic. Game changer.

This might me the funniest thing ever.

Agreed, too funny!
