Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[BUNGALOWS]

I was using the borrow line as a point of inference. However teams would go over the salary cap and pay a luxury tax to sign a player if they thought he could help them win it all. Which means they would be going over budget.

NBA teams spend the money to win championships, and bring in profits. A television network is ALL profits. That margin to lose money, just for the sake of a ring for your own personal pleasure (most NBA teams lose money, hand over foot. They're owned by billionaires that can afford to spend like maniacs, and treat the teams like their personal play things.) Showtime isn't an NBA owner that wants a championship ring more than anything.

They went all in with Floyd. When Floyd leaves, they can sign Manny to a deal that would satisfy Manny. Until then, not enough cash for the both of them.

Floyd signs a six fight contract, "Great businessman that Floyd"
Manny signs a multiple fight contract, "what a ****ing idiot, he has no business sense".

Where do the contradictions end with you cats?

Gbp has all the guys from 140-154. Who does tr have than manny hasn't beaten yet? And Floyd isn't tied down to gbp. He's with show time. Bradley signed and extension too and I and most other called him an idiot too. Only thing is Tim prob isn't getting robbed by arum

What sickens me is that this is supposed to be a BOXING SITE, not a business site. When does purses, contracts and bosses matter as long as the fighter fights and happy?

I know, its a tragic comedy. They always say, "boxing is a business". But every time I ask them what part of the business section I can read about boxing, I never hear from them again. Boxing fans in the 80s and 90s, never, ever talked about purses, and contracts, and negotiations, ever. Because boxing fans watched boxing for the sport, not to see who makes the most money. Nowadays, everyone is a financial adviser, company ceo, and pharmaceutical expert all rolled into one. Every time I've been to a live fight, I've never heard one person talking about purses, contracts or who has the most money in the bank. Its always about what goes on in the ring.

You are a naive, and basic person. Business men are already thinking 20 steps ahead of the way. I'm sure Arum knows nothing about the fact that Showtime can offer him a deal. I'm sure that concept it completely foreign to him.

Yeah, they'd be pulling the wool over his eyes alright.

I'm pretty sure in owning you. Just like a team in the draft with the number one pick. They bs all they way up until draft day. So know one can try to work a deal without offering it up to them first. Even though nine out of ten times they never trade away the first pick. It's all about leverage. You never tip you hand ever. Even when it's obvious.

Go get a girlfriend you like to argue. You know what insanity is my friend? Thanx for the back and forth it was fun. You're on my Xmas list. I'm gonna get you a copy of business for dummies

Floyd is tied down to GB. He hasn't fought without them in over a half a decade.
And if Richard wasn't such a richard, it wouldn't matter who is with who. But hes doing a disservice by not working with any other promoters.

So the point stands,

"Floyd signs multifight deal" genius....floyd stans
"Manny signs multifight deal" idiot....floyd stans

Yeah, that totally applies to this. We know who Manny is. We know, since you already said, "Showtime would beg, borrow, and steal if the bottom line was worth it" that Showtime would OBVIOUSLY be interested in Manny. So again, where's this mysterious #1 draft pick that no one knows about?

It's like you don't want to acknowledge the elephant in the room, and continue to be basic.

And you don't even own a pair of dress shoes. How are you "owning" me? Getting you back for calling me a jerk off.

So are you happy with the fights available to Manny at Top Rank?

Wouldn't you prefer to see him against Matthysse, Garcia, Thurman, and Porter?

If you can't see the difference between the two then you need to wake up. Floyd: biggest contract in sports history. Can fight anyone that matter besides PAC and Tim obviously

Pac: sign with arum, fight tr recycles. Reports of manny no getting paid correctly by vision quest. Reports of PAC tax troubles. Umm what does he have to gain by signing with them and fightin Bradley 4 more times. Apples and oranges not the same in any way. But I'm wasting my time you make countless Floyd hate threads

Don't have **** to say. Say some corny **** and pretend like you're done debating. You think this is arguing? We're having a debate. Don't be all sensitive on me now.

Mr. I call people jerk offs right off the bat because I'm basic.
