DLH and Floyd far apart in negotiations

[psychopath]

Floyd doesn't have the power like Oscar because it is about how many people watch your fight/ buy your fight that counts.

How many PPVs does Floyd sell?
How many PPVs does Oscar sell?

When the seats in the stadium are over-priced, who is paying for which fighter, is it for Oscar, or is it for Floyd?

Judging by their careers, it is for Oscar


Floyd can get 10 million, but anything after that is a gift from Oscar; 10 million will be his highest pay check so far.
Oscar could make 15+ million for fighting Joe Nobody from the local bar.

Hey I'm not questioning DLH's PPV marketibility or his career accomplishment. What I'm saying is that PBF is not just an ordinary fighter being brought in to rake in money for DLH. The guy has a stature to bring in the negotiating table so he has the right to negotiate and not simply accept all the terms of DLH.

Let him negotiate freely. Nobody can dictate to him what is good enough or what is acceptable.

Who else is Oscar going to fight that is a fitting end to an illustrious career???

It's gotta be Floyd.

Floyd just better recognize he is no draw like DLH, and he will need to take the lesser split, period.

I'm not saying he doesn't realize that. If he has half a brain, he does, and knows he will be making millions regardless of the split. Too bad the article doesn't say what Floyd has been offered.

Well if Floyd were thinking of the future he would take the best he can get from DLH, be it 10,000,000 or a little more. If he can win convincingly then he'll be the new atraction at WW, and he'll be calling the shots from that point on. I'm not saying he doesnt have the right to negotiate, but he should come to an agreement before he loses his chance, he cant expect most of the money with DLH, everyone knows that DLH call the shots no matter who he fights. Of course if DLH is offering something rediculously low then that's a different story.

There was talk he was never planning on making an announcement but just said he would so press would come to the Hopkins fight instead of going to Cotto vs Paulie.

He's acting like a promoter already...
