    What are you talking about?

    Wright agreed to everything Floyd wanted and Floyd just kept asking for more.

    Who's fault is it that the fight didn't go through?

      He didn't agree to the split which was more than reasonable and thus did what he's known for doing and pricing himself out and walking away from a career high pay day.

      He did this numerous times throughout his career.

          oh i see so if fighters don't do everything floyd says they are ducking? while at the same time you ignore everything floyd does to kill fights. the fight would have happened but for the simple fact that floyd didn't agree to his own demands. its not like winky demanded something then when floyd agreed he pulled out. also what about when floyd turns down a career high payday of 7 million to fight sharmba for 4? what is that called?

            Winky Wright was the bigger name, why did he deserve less money anyway?

            That was before Floyd fought Oscar and Wright beat Trinidad and Mosley.

              Floyd is not to blame for every fight that goes unmade.

                  No, Winky didn't agree. He turned down an absolutely reasonable split and walked away from a big pay day.

                  Who did Floyd turn down to fight Sharmba Mitchell?

                    No but there are Super-Fights he personally killed, and there are a lot of them.

                      No he wasn't the bigger name.

                      Floyd was the bigger name and the P4P #1. Both of them had 1 fight on PPV at the time.

                      Again, Winky turned down a pay day. 55-45 was more than reasonable but like Winky always did, he priced himself out.
