    I don't think Floyd will ever be as big as Oscar for the simple fact that he makes it really hard foe people to root for him with his attitude and arrogance. I think he will always carry a bad image and people will always love to hate him. He doesn't help his case with the way that he acts, not to mention his out of the ring drama. If he were offered 15 million he would be crazy to ask for more. I honestly think that is a little high but he better take it if he's offered that much.

      I said 15 million because I think that is what Hopkins ended up getting, I could be wrong: I think it was 12 million guaranteed and then ended up getting 3 million off the PPV, total, 15 million.

        You may be right, but Hopkins was the undisputed middleweight champ and was way more established than Floyd is.

Tito draws pretty well but he still doesn't draw the way Oscar does. Hell no one does. Oscar is the cash cow and thats why everyone wants to fight him. He brings the crowds and the money. 70/30 for Tito may have been low I would say more like 60/40. You have to remember Tito got dominated his last fight and he has been retired for how long now? Floyd would be making more money than he ever has but he's not gonna get 50/50 from Oscar. he need s to go ahead and get that thought out of his head. Floy always like to be the one to try and strong arm in negotiation, and that just isn't gonna happen with Oscar.
          oscar should stop being a ***** by offering that kind of split to tito it should be 50/50. tito won the first fight and yes tito did get dominated by winky but atleast he fought him unlike oscar.

            It's funny how people believe Oscar deserves alot more than Floyd. An inactive Oscar DLH who lost 2 of his last 4 fights against an undefeated p4p fighter like Floyd. Now that's ridiculous.

              And of course Oscar isn't arrogant either.

              Guess we'll have to call Felix Sturm to humble him again...

                  This fight isn't gonna happen so there is no point in talking about it.

                    Dude don't even try it, I know your not gonna try to compare Oscar to Floyd in that department. Oscars not a loud mouth that runs his mouth every oppurtunity he gets. I don't think you can compare anyone to Floyd in the arrogance department. All fighters have to have a little attitude or they wouldn't make it as fighters. Oscar may have arrogance in certain ways but he doesn't voice it or run his mouth like Floyd does. You need to go somewhere with that ****.

                      Oscar also doesn't beat up on woman, talk about a ***** move. A man hitting a woman is the biggest ***** move there is. Maybe we need his girl to humble him.
