Comments Thread For: Showtime Prez: Mayweather-Pacquiao, Not With Top Rank

[hitking]

Well there are a couple of very good reasons. Mayweather is not in the 'driver's seat' unless he has a series of very top opponents lined up for his next 4 fights.... And we KNOW that he hasn't. We also KNOW that the fight everyone wants to see is against Manny Pacquiao. And this may be putting Top Rank in the driver's seat. We just DON'T KNOW.

TODAY, Floyd is the unquestioned P4P King of boxing. TODAY, Floyd's last PPV sold over 2m and Pac's did 400k. Therefore TODAY, Floyd is in the driver's seat.

I guess you would have to show up to find out. Do what your boy said. A bunch of ya'll should show up to punk me out. More fun for me. POP, POP!!!!!!!

I think ts fairly predictable that the numbers are gonna significantly drop off from what they did with Canelo. If we can foresee that. I'm sure Showtime can too. So like I've been saying. There's no logical reason for them to support Floyd ducking Pac.

As for cutting Arum out. They're not. He's basically gonna be paid to stay outta the way. He'll lose nothing financially. And probably will make a lil more by stepping aside. So really, the only reason he won't is based solely on ego.

GBP is in the same boat as Espinoza (with much bigger stakes), who parrots their party line. You should tweet and ask them why they choose such a short sighted, illogical course.

I dunno, sounds like they wanna cut him out entirely, like have Pac sign with a different promoter or Haymon ("until Pac changes his promotional representation"). I know it sounds ridiculous, especially for a network head, but put it in the context of him being a GBP stooge, and them being short sighted, and it makes some sense.

LOL!!! I've bought one ****in' Floyd PPV in the last 5-6yrs. And that was because I was sick and didn't feel like going out. I'm fairly certain you've order more than I have in that time period you dumbass b!tch. So you're much more of a Floydiot than me. And you prove it with your wallet f@gg0t ass b!tch.

As much as I can afford ringside ticks for floyd fights, I'd rather watch Jimmy Kimmel entertain me than watch your idol fight.

It's you whos a die hard floyd fan here. So it really hurts knowing the truth dumbass.

Yeah floyds PPV sells only if his B-side is a marketable opponent lol.

And only floydiots believes that it actually is floyd who sells, lol.

Let floyd fight at macau, I'll be happy if he reaches 200k buys. And 3-4k gates

You need to get to sleep coz you might be late for your day job. lol

Your irrationality, in it's own way, is very much like Mayweather's guarantees' where he was taking from his left hand pocket and putting it in his right hand pocket.... And the $32 mill over Tyson's record $31 Mill was too su****ious... We KNOW this because he eventually when finally cornered, admitted it. It put in question ALL his "guarantees"...

They were far too huge and against all the known legit expenses to have been genuine. (You have to understand that the PPV company takes 50% off the gross right away...) It's even likely that if Showtime were to break down and admit that they were paying Mayweather $30 mill it would very likely be actually $10 mill, with Mayweather supplying the other $20 mill. Which would mean only that he was getting at least $10 mill.

Showtime gets a lot of "reflected glory" from being believed to have paid a boxer over $200 mill. We'll never know the truth, and I couldn't care less. My main reason for replying to you is just as a mental exercise. I don't care what either Pacquiao or Mayweather earn, or what they do with it. I left all that sort of fan nonsense behind when I was about 15.

You may believe what you want to.

Finally, I am leaving this subject.

Again, you're looking at it from the standpoint of that its a conspiracy to make Floyd look good. I'm basing on the information we've been given. Neither of us are insiders. So neither one of us knows 100% what's going on. The difference is, I'm running with what people with knowledge of the situation are reporting. You're running with what you think is bull**** and what's not. Based mostly on what supports your argument. Like I said, if you think everyone is lying on Floyd's behalf. More power to ya.

Sound good. But if you and ya boys show up in Memphis in a week. We probably won't make it to April. At least some of us won't.

Used to think, U were a DUMB Muther Grabber,
but you really are SICK Muther Grabber, My Sympathy!!!

If you can afford ringside seats for a Floyd fight, you're a fortunate man. As for those likemyself, couple hundred bucks is all I'm willing to shell out to see a fight. And that doesn't sit you ringside for a Floyd fight.

BTW, I don't need to go to sleep. I ain't on no day job right now. However, I do have a couple change outs to do this week on some side gigs that gonna put a couple sacks in my pocket. But you know, that lil money I'm a make you could probably find lost in yopur coach riche rich. Why people must lie on the internet is just crazy to me.

I ain't richie rich dude, I am just telling you in straight and no b.s. that your idol will not get my hard earned dime for his fights unless he fights Pacman thats it.

Floyds a disgrace to boxing! , He will always be, and thats my opinion!

Well I'm basing my opinion on what Schaefer said. He said that Arum would get a step aside fee. He said that the TR promotional banners would be on full display throughout the promotion. And he said that Arum would receive his allotment of tickets. Now I'm assuming he would still get his contracted percentage of Pac's purse. So financially, he stands to lose nothing by stepping aside if what Schaefer is saying is 100% straight foward. So based on that, I don't see why he wouldn't be OK with it. Especially considering what happen with Floyd-Cotto. Cotto basically dropped him for a fight. Got the huge payday. Arum got nothing. And then Cotto came back. Pac could do the same. So it seems like Arum would take the step aside to assure that he makes money off the fight. Whether he physically promotes it or not.
