There is a saying

don't count your chickens before they're hatched

Mayweather might pulled out

Don't get too excited guys

I sincerely doubt it.

I forget which interview it was, but Mayweather very seriously mentioned his goal of "Being a billionaire before 45 years old".

That's what this is for Mayweather. A step closer to becoming a billionaire. That's what life is about to him. Money. He's not walking away from $120 million or more.

He has an "0" to protect which is more important than $120M

Arum is sooooo freakin ecstatic about the potential revenue generated from this fight that he can hardly contain himself.

Arum will probably make more than Manny when all is said and done ...

Would not be surprised.. Sudden auto accident, hand damaged.. something..

But back on topic.. Of course Arum eyes big figure, PPV is $100 a pop, pretty much raping everyone..

I have always thought that there could be a "training camp injury"
or something that would put the fight on the back burner. I will be
shocked if it actually happens on the 2nd. (Fingers are still crossed)

For 5 years he did.

Let's see:

1. Manny now volunteers more stringent drug testing than what Mayweather was asking from in in 2010 (14 day cut off)

2. In 2012 serious negotiations began again and the fight fell apart because Arum refused a May date because there wasn't enough time to build a gigantic stadium and a cut on Manny to properly heal.

So let's see, fast forward to 2015: now that Manny got over his phobia of needles and Arum apparently forgot about his stadium plans, the fight gets made.... go figure

If they charge to much that an affect their numbers. More people will just find somebody to go half with or thirds, fourths. Who knows. Imagine if it did just over 2 mill.
I know some people are talking aout having a party for the fight. that means like 30 people watching and only one PPV sale. I have a feeling there will be a lot of that.
