    Oscar should acknowledge and thank uncle Bob Arum for keeping Floyd in shadows while Oscar relished the spotlight and kept them from fighting each other, until Pretty Boy broke out on his own. That's what Oscar should be thankful for.

      It doesn't matter if Oscar lost to him earlier, Oscar had losses and was still a ppv king. Can't say what would happens to Floyd if he loses.

        Do you think the fact That Floyd uses GB to assist with his promotion isn't him giving credit. I am sure Oscar appreciates the money Floyd generates for him more than some hollow words in an interview.

          Oscar is getting milked by Cherrypicker like a farm girl milks a cow.

            So you don't think Oscar is making a profit off his dealings with Floyd?

              like floyd said at the last presser-you dont have to like someone to make money with them.

                I think Floyd is making the majority of the profit

                    i know your a floyd hater so its hard for you to admit that floyd is primarily responsible for his success. he made as much for Ghost as wlad and manny will make combined for their next fights. I know that pisses you off.

                      We all know Oscar was a huge PPV star and made Floyd & Pac bigger but you have to give Floyd a ton of credit also. 1st off he wouldve been bigger anyways if Arum wasnt a scum bag who tried to keep him on the backburner. Its no coincedence that Floyd blew up when he left him. 2nd, it was Floyd's idea for the 24/7 and Floyd who sold the fight. Dont act like Oscar has put up that same number with others because he hasnt. Not anywhere close to it. Floyd also was undefeated and P4P the #1 fighter in the world which was another thing the casual fans wanted to see. They wanted to see Oscar vs the this guy who they say is the best.

                      Then after the fight they didnt have a rematch because Oscar thought Floyd couldnt sell without him but what actually happened was that Floyd became bigger than Oscar ever was and has outsold his PPV's.

                      Then you have to look at who they are, race, etc..... Floyd is an American black boxer. Oscar is Mexican, even if raised here. Boxing is just far more bigger in Mexico and other Countries. Credit to Floyd for alot for helping it become somewhat mainstream in the US again. I always say to people who talk about guys like Oscar or Hatton. I always say that if Floyd came from the UK or Mexico then he would be bigger than them anyways. Thats a huge advantage that people choose not to aknowledge.

                      How many people would care about Hatton if he was just a regular white boy in the US?
