You bothered to read that mak?

i skimmed thru it and that part made me shake my head...some of the most legendary fight parties i've been to have been PAC fights


Floyd fight parties usually end with a bunch of the homies talkin about other sports 10 mins after the main event ended

Man how many times do I have to repeat this? Espinoza never release any number in the Maidana 1 fight. People were waiting for weeks, then months. Nothing. Meaning, it could have been as low as 300K.

It's all good bro. You believe what you want, but I'll never a trust a word that Bob Arum (or Don King) ever say:

For all of Arum's success, though, he has offended some along the way.

In a 1979 bout, Arum was so outraged by a judge's score he repeatedly yelled "Fix!" in the Puerto Rico ring, prompting a lawsuit by the judge and an out-of-court settlement. In the 1990s, Arum paid a boxing manager who intended to use the cash to bribe a boxing official to help sanction a title fight. And in 2004, the FBI also raided Arum's office because a convicted murderer-informant alleged fight fixing by Top Rank after Arum retained him as a fighter. No indictments were filed.

Arum is also celebrated for saying in 1981: "Yesterday, I was lying. Today, I'm telling the truth."

There's a reason Oscar, Floyd, and Cotto all went free agent! Arum is a snake!

Hmm. Pacquiao's PPV numbers haven't been good lately either. I think the message is being sent to he and Arum as well as GPB that we are not going to shell out dough for the shi@ undercards and less than stellar main events.

Yet you flip flop and use arums quotes against people on other articles. STFU you are making yourself look like an ass.

alot of the all time greats in boxing have been stopped or ko'd. Does that diminish their greatness??? Your argument holds no water.

Can you read?

Cause you clearly didnt understand what you tried to read.

I responded to a post saying Floyd cant claim to be the best in his own division right NOW.

So for whoever doesnt consider Floyd the best WW at this moment, who can they say is the best?

It cant be Pac. He got KOd. You cant be the best when you get KOd and others are winning their fights.

His PPV numbers have all been based on lies as Espinoza came to discover. They're over exaggerated. Even Schaefer finally found out that that they're really not that huge when he failed to report a number in the Guerrero fight. He always thought HBO was cheating him... Don't you wonder why this guy is still fighting? His ex best friend 50 cent have repeatedly said he's really not that rich.

even forbes admits their figures are merely based on press reports and numbers given by people around mayweather. yuk! there was no real verification of the numbers like investigative reporters usually do. i have a feeling the real number will eventually come out when he leaves the sport.

if he's really that rich, i expect him to compete with tr and gbp and go full blast with his promotional company.

Did mayweather chip a tooth???

[Sugar Q]

The problem with Arum and Team Pac is "HOW THE **** DO YOU EXPLAIN BRANDON RIOS & CHRIS ALGIERI? That **** is unexplainable!!! Floyd is fighting the cream of the division while Manny is really 2-3 in his last 5 fights and calling out lighter, smaller fighters. GTFOHWTBS!!!!!!
