No announcement yet.
If Floyd hates Bob, wouldn't beating Pac long ago stopped him earning more money?

If Bob Arum wanted the fight, he would NOT have pulled that BS about building a stadium. Floyd was practically begging for the fight at that point, and Bob's answer was, "Nah, we have to build a stadium. I hope your body deteriorates in jail, so we can catch you afterwards when you're physically messed up."

Originally posted by cjgrey View PostFloyd does not want the belts. He would prefer not to have any belts involved for his fights, that way he wouldn't have to pay any sanctioning fees. The reason he allows the belts and sanctioning bodies to be involved and get paid is because he has his own start up Mayweather Promotions company, with up and coming fighters who need title shots. If he cuts out the belts and sanctioning bodies completely from the money pot, those same sanctioning bodies would be sure to blackball any young fighters signed with Mayweather Promotions from title shots. If you knew Floyd, or were involved with the actual sport/industry, that would be obvious.
So it's not a matter of fighting 154 lb champions for their belts. Floyd doesn't want to be champion or hold any belt. He only wants to make big money fights.
If a physically bigger fighter has enough selling power to be worth fighting for Floyd, that opponent will still be fighting at the weight chosen by the guy with all the business leverage. Floyd is their meal ticket, so they need to know their places and do what they are told. Just like Oscar was Floyd's meal ticket, and Floyd had to know his place, and make all the concessions until the contract was signed.

Floyd doesn't care about titles, lol. He doesn't care about awards either, right, which is why he went on a racist tirade when Pac won Fighter of the Decade.

If Marquez was out of shape and cheated on the weight, why has he never asked for a rematch.
None of that matters anyways, because being a non-athlete who has never done sports means you will never understand.

That has been the rumor for a long time but I need to see proof before I accuse somebody of something so serious. What is fact, however, is that the settlement in the Pacquiao/Mayweather lawsuit happened after the Pacquiao camp tried to get Mayweather's USADA testing records. So maybe where there is smoke there is fire.

DLH's previous fight was at 150, his call to try 147. He called out Hatton first, just wanted a midget to beat on and revive his flagging career. But DLH never asked for a rematch either, so that means he came in optimal shape, right?

The "building a stadium" negotiation was before Floyd went to prison.
The $40 million flat fee negotiation was after prison. Two different negotiations.
Pacquiao deserves no more than $40 million right now.
