Hey Hit Queen, Don't sound like U, want FRAUD to take the Test,
and Fight the Best Fighter of the Generation!!!

But If your on The Great Avoider's Payroll, We Understand.....

Nah. They're doing it for free. Floyd is one damn lucky bastard.

When the Floyd haters were gloating on here about Floyd-Guerrero tanking, someone posted an article about the loss they took.

Yeah I saw that and it read like a bunch of BS to me. The very notion that doing 800k-1m would somehow mean a loss for the network sounds fairly dumb. $12m? Ludicrous. Especially since neither the writer nor anyone here has any real insight on Showtime's PPV model.

Sounds like you want some attention. I'll be at ShoBox in Memphis on Jan 17. And I'll be in NYC for Cotto-Martinez. Feel free to show up. I'll give you all the attention you want.

OMG...you threaten everyone with that same shlt...We should all show up and punk your ass out. You will probably ask us to take a random PED test....

Look at what you're saying though. If Showtime had an ounce of believing that Floyd was the problem. They would have been come out and said it. Floyd probably has to do 1.5m ppv buys for Showtime to turn a profit. Right now, Pac is probably the only guy that can bring that number. So as the president of Showtime, why further assist Floyd in ducking Pac. Which in the article he would be doing. If its gonna cost the company even more money?

It's natural that Espinoza would be partial to Mayweather and Golden Balls as much as possible. He's been described as "The long-time lead attorney for Golden Boy Promotions". That's just about since Golden Balls began...?? They may have a close personal friendship also...

And....here has been much trouble between Espinoza and Arum, I that Arum called him a "creep who didn't answer any of my calls". So when a bit of the surrounding background is known, then their public faces are more understood.

Espinoza seems to have bought into the bitter rivalry of Golden Balls and Top Rank by saying that "Mayweather will fight Pacquiao any-time any-where, the fight can definitely be made" and then he puts in a sly non-sequitur that " Pacquiao can leave Top Rank for just this one fight".

To me this seems just another like the nonsense they proposed for "renting" Nonito Donaire for a fight, offering $3 mill to Top Rank. However...they had a little clause in the small print which said that they could cancel the fight for any reason up to 14 days before fight-date, WITH NO PENALTIES.....I believe that Donaire's attorney spotted this, because Golden Balls did the very unprofessional thing of sending the contract direct to Donaire. Obviously just a load of PR crap.

I think it was then that Arum and Espinoza parted in a less-than-friendly manner.

Pay? Hed probably swap it out in trade.

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.

Floyd would cut ties with Mayweather Promotions to duck Pacquiao.
