Yup, more and more fans starting to realize the circus running over boxing. Thought TMT was taking over?

Some of ya'll give these two entirely too much credit..if Floyd was smart he would've actually not been putting money in Oscar's pockets...Oscar has been living high off the hog on Floyd's back going on 3 years now..let's see those numbers $72 million for one fight..Call Floyd a boss all you want but in reality the boss is Oscar..Haymon and Schaeffer...Mayweather promotions has never actually held a licensed event and in all likelihood never will..

Wasn't aware that Haymon had anything to do with Cotto's career.

If Floyd had his way, he would get rid of everyone that gets cuts from his fights. That's just the kind of person he is. He hanged out with Don King to find some answers. He came back holding a piece of paper that purportedly guarantees him $100 million for a fight with Pacquiao. He realized that he really didn't want the fight at whatever price.

Nothing new about Floyd. He likes to maximize his profit so he can retire often and duck fights.

Mr. Merchant knows about what he speaks you can tell what comes out of some of these people mouth they know nothing about the boxing world. Yes his music was good and he has even come up with some other great ideas he cashed in on what america like flavored water, and energy drinks games, etc he was a drug dealer so he know supply and demand, But now boxing is a new world feel ur self around before u start making enemies make friends first if u want longevity in this thing
