+35% are you blind?

I read that but you missed my point on the guaranteed money. I know you're a Floyd fan and you want him to get that cheddar but you have to be fair here. Biggest fight in boxing history(money wise) and you expect a $40 mil compared to over $100 from the other guy? I can see your point if it was like 60-80 mil but it just isn't fair. Without Pac, Floyd doesn't get all that money and vice versa.

according to who? Floyd said Pac will not get any 40M... "peeleft:

[Flash13]

$40 million + 35% was offered a few months ago. Came from the mouth of the head of showtime boxing. Someone that actually knows and didn't get their info from someone else like fat dan does.

Wait till Wednesday or Friday, because ima ask fat dan or brian what is the real deal with that rumor. The fact that Espinoza said that means ****. I need to hear that number from an objective source; someone who DOES NOT have a horse in the race. Unfortunately Espinoza doesn't fit either category. I love how you leave out the fact that after Espinoza said that moonves pretty much told him to stfu and go hide in a corner. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out of work soon. The last part of your statement where you try to imply that Espinoza is a more credible source than fat dan just shows how desperate you really are. So i guess all of floyds ppv did over a million then?!

You think Mayweather would be guaranteed anywhere close to $100 mil by Showtime?

Yes i do. What part of this fight is a ****ing monster do you not understand? Casual fans only care about this fight, and they care a lot. You're talking about a fight that could generate 200 mill in PURSES, not revenue PURSES.

The info fat dan has, has to have come from one of the sides or maybe none.

Moonves telling him to be quiet doesn't mean he was lying.

He didn't say they all did over 1 mil he said they didn't lose money. How can people that don't know what's in the Mayweathers contract call him a liar?

Espinoza KNOWS first hand. Fat Dan doesn't.

Sounds like Arum is more concerned about making the Cotto/Canelo fight than Pac/Mayweather.

Nice priorities.

According to Rafael, the head of CBS has been trying to make the fight but the Mayweather camp aren't interested.

Yet you're the one calling me blind For a Pac fight HBO/Showtime would give up more money, specially to beat the other network. C'mon son....you slackin. I mentioned 150 mil on my first post and then now you're loling @ 100.

With the cable providers taking half the PPV they'd need to sell 4 mil to cover the purses and expenses.

Why would Espinoza be honest about a deal HE forged losing millions?! i mean come on man that's obvious. Btw, he said both the Guerrero fight and first maidana fight did over a mill, which they clearly did not. The second maidana fight he didn't even attempt to try, which should show how big of a bomb it really was.
