That's me, what's wrong with that? Are we gonna go back to the same topic again? If not y bring that old post of mine?

[Pocket Dogs!]

I'm not even defending the Volture, I was just playing around with the other poster and they wanna jump me? Floids will make more money these coming may 3rd no doubt, he have all the momentum going his way. But which fight will give you your monies worth? Floid vs Chino, or PAC vs Timme? Honestly which one?

I doubt the MGM cares about people getting their money's worth. All they care about is who is the bigger attraction.

[lets rumble]

You, my lad makes a lot of sense, I couldn't agree more. but answer me this? Aside from Venitian Macao, isn't it Manny was and still is bringing money to Vegas every time he fights there? If I'm not mistaken, him and Floid are the only two boxer/fighters to bring the market up in Vegas whenever they have a fight over there, or I could be wrong.

yeah i agree , but the mexicans bring plenty of money as well .

I have said pac/bradley was the better fight but i know floyd will sell more because he is the biggest draw in the sport

[Larry the boss]

Arum this is just the cold hard truth..Vegas is Floyds turf he is the money maker there,he is the face of boxing and he is the biggest draw,cry your ass back to Texas or China it is what it is

[assiong]

we butthurt....but you mad because no one gives a fuck that Manny Pacquiao has a fight in 2 days...........lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo

Believe me I'm not mad, why would I? I already bought the fight and my spare ribs and chicken legs are being marinated as we speak. Why would I care about how much the PPV or live gates sold? Last time I check I'm the one spending money and not getting any penny back. What I'm gonna get from PAC and Bradley is satisfaction and excitement, too bad I can't say the same thing about May and Chino.

[MC Hammer]

Sounds like Arum's losing money on this one. Hell, thats probably why MGM isn't really investing in promoting the fight

[MoneyMayFan]

Pacquiao-Bradley II is tons better than Floyd-Maidana. Floyds fight will make more money for everyone but Pacs fight is way more competitive.

I want to see Mayweather fight Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter in September.

Those two fights are as big or bigger mismatches than maidana.

[assiong]

I hope you applied the same logic to Pac when he wouldn't fight Margarito when it was originally talked about, Shane after Margartito and Cotto @ 154. Guess Floyd wasn't the only one worried about his health, huh?

Did he say I'm thinking about my health when those names you mentioned came up? Did it came out from his mouth and posted them in YouTube?
