Well I just gave you Espinoza's quote from this article implying otherwise, that Pac would have to change promoters. I don't have a problem with Pac stepping out, but I'm sure a promoter of Arum's experience will do what he can not to be cut out. And then if they're willing to offer him a cut, the question is how much? Floyd's last proposal, for them to split 40m was a joke, and that was pre JMM 4.

Well, OK. Run with whichever you want. I take Schaefer's word because he's more of a boxing guy. Either way. Pac's contract with TR is up at the end of 2014. So he'll be perfectly capable of leaving Arum for a night to get the fight he supposedly wants the most. Cotto did. Manny can do the same. And if he just loves Arum so much. He can break him off a piece of his purse outta the goodness of his heart.

Youre a convicted felon dummy. You cant be justified for shooting anyone. Damn...what you go to prison for anyway? Being a ***ing moron!

I'd rather take a pistol charge than let you and your punk ass friends gang me and potentially kill me.

As for what I was in the pen for. Its public record. I have the exact same first and last name as a current trainer from the Midwest. And I have the exact same birthday as a current Cuban fighter. If it means that much to you. Look it up 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

The so called # 1, is truly a second banana, but LANCE clings to the wonderful "0".
So don't ask me to Fight Pac, or any Live Opponent!!!

[jbpanama]

Haha... even the date is an issue with them floydiots.
It's as if it's set in stone that you can't move. haha..

Well When U want to PUNK OUT, any Excuse will Do!!!

[PAC-BOY]

You know where I'm a be. And the more that shows up to punk me out the better. Cause when ya'll try and gang me. I'm a be justified and shootin' the f.uck outta ya'll b!tch asses. So do what you do homie. But don't think I'm a be alone b!tch ass boy.

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.

Am I the only one who thinks it's insane that we're still talking about making a fight that should've been made back in 2009? This is whats wrong with boxing nowadays.

Everyone is in it for themselves and don't want to split up the pieces of the pie. Everyone from the promoters to the networks, to the fighters themselves are too greedy and it comes at a cost to boxing fans everywhere. If you ask me, all parties are at fault for not attempting to come to a reasonable compromise. Putting on a fight/event at the elite level takes a group effort. Shame on everyone who could've made this fight happen, but ultimately failed because they had their heads too far up their 'you know whats'.

Hopefully we can learn from this and won't make this mistake again next time this golden opportunity comes around again.

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!

That's what's up. And I've told you that I haven't ordered but one Floyd fight since he's been back. So whatever the reasoning is on my end and your's, the end result is the same. Congradulations on being able to afford the most expensive ticket in boxing. I'm a felon. So my money comes a lil slower.

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.

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.
