The Best!
Bradley wont get $5,000,000 against anybody not named Marquez or Manny he shouldn't ask for $10,000,000 unless he is purposely trying to price himself outPosted January 17, 2014 5:28 pm
Top Stank kiss-ups and pactards are the perfect physical examples of mental retardation!Posted January 17, 2014 3:12 pm
Bradley lost to Pacquiao, is kinda boring, and doesn't have a big fan following. Thus, he does not deserve $10 mil. If that's what he's insisting on, we can look forward to Bradley-Marquez II.Posted January 17, 2014 12:57 pm
HHHLondon : I wasn't talking about Pacroid! I'm talking about the Floyd the great cherrypicker who talk a lot of smack but when it comes in the ring his performance doesn't stack up to his mouth or money he is getting paid with.Posted January 17, 2014 2:51 am
If Floyd cherry picks opponents, then how come four of Manny's last 10 have been demolished by Floyd First?
Are we really blowing Margarito up into something other than a cheat? Clottey? Bradley v's Floyd?
Pacquiao over 140lbs without help from Floyd has always looked just what he has …. out of his depth!Posted January 17, 2014 1:01 am
"The writer does't think an undefeated top 10 p4p, with wins over arguably at the time p4p number, is a household name?"
Bradley's arguably lost 2 of 3 and is NOT a household name or a draw, period. 'Stick to his guns' and sit around and do nothing then because he can't make anywhere near that against anyone else.Posted January 17, 2014 12:45 am
Peej : Floyd will never win a fight more than Pacman. Floyd loves to wait and Cherrypicked his opponents. He wait and wait for the young, old, slow ,and can be buy to do what Eva Floyd's want.Posted January 17, 2014 12:44 am

John James,
Manny just beat up a fat unskilled lightweight coming off a loss, himself just coming off a bad KO, before that he got distanced and before that he struggled against Moseley .. another fighter Floyd Whitewashed.
Now he's struggling with finding a credible opponent?Posted January 16, 2014 11:03 pm

How many times has Floyd fought outside the US? Remember Pacquiao was fighting abroad when fighting in America too. That's how he got robbed against Timmy. You think Floyd would've got the decision against Castillo and De La Hoya over in Mexico? LMAO.
And you expect shot Pacquioa to be as popular as the prime one?? Pacquiao is done. Done because he took risks Floyd wouldn't dream of taking.Posted January 16, 2014 9:01 pm

Amazing how a third-world peasant who earned less than $1 for his first fight has been competing with Floyd for PPV figures in his own country and was voted number 22 on the Time 100 list. And that popularity stems from people liking Pacquiao, not people tuning in to see him get beat. LMAO.Posted January 16, 2014 8:52 pm

I thought Manny was fighting in China from here on out. Wasn't that what Arum was hinting at wham he stated taxes were too high in the US? I guess poor PPV number for the Rios fight changed that plan…Posted January 16, 2014 8:06 pm
Just because Manny Pacquiao isn't a household name in Britain, that doesn't mean that he's not popular elsewhere. As a matter of fact, Manny Pacquiao is one of the most popular people in the world. Following his second round destruction of Ricky Hatton last Saturday Manny Pacquiao has become the first boxer ever to win a lineal title in four lineal divisions.
4- Manny Pacquiao is the only Filipino in Time 100
The only Filipino to make the list in 2009, Manny Pacquiao is ranked No. 22 according to voting, which has him ahead of a few people you might know, such as Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey and the Dalai Lama.
More impressive might be the fact that he is one of the few athletes on the list, along with Kobe Bryant and Alex Rodriguez.
2- When Manny Pacquiao fights, the crime rate goes down
There are also regular squabbles between communist insurgents and Muslim secessionists, but even they put their battles on ice to watch Pacquiao fight.
In simpler terms, nearly the entire country of roughly 90.5 million stops to watch the Pac-Man fight, which is simply astounding.
When Floyd fights the crime rate actually goes up in America. LMAO.Posted January 16, 2014 7:47 pm
His brand revolves around that precious zero of his. But even that is illusory. He already lost that zero to B grader Castillo. Hell, shot drug fiend De La Hoya who'd lost three of his last four fights going in and had only fought once in nearly three years nearly beat him. And these stupid Flomos actually think he would've beaten a prime De La Hoya. LMAO.Posted January 16, 2014 7:41 pm
Batangueño Forever
@BDK: Every thought of why Pac wouldn't fight here in the Philippines? Because $1=₱45. And only a tiny tiny fraction of us Flips can afford to buy PPV. (We are starving over here.) And half of that tiny tiny fraction don't give a rat's tail about Pac. Pac is old news here. People here look at him as a novelty, a circus act. We make fun of his singing and acting. We ridicule him sitting in Congress despite being as dumb as a doorknob.Posted January 16, 2014 7:39 pm
Floyd is so delusional too. He thinks his brand is bigger than Nike. LMAO. No Floyd, not in this lifetime. Even if you weren't such a big cherrypicking coward and your fights weren't as boring as watching paint dry, you still wouldn't come close.Posted January 16, 2014 7:37 pm
Floyd has to use all manner of desperate tactics to pump up his popularity too. Fighting on Mexican holidays against Latin fighters who have large followings. Roping in popular fighters to fill his undercards. Roping in the likes of Justin Beiber to try and broaden his appeal. The funny thing is those dizzy teenage air heads who fawn over Beiber are probable twice as intelligent as your average Flomo. LMAO.Posted January 16, 2014 7:33 pm

Flomos are so unbelievably retarded. They really are the worst group of fans of any fighter out there. They're always boasting about stupid stuff like PPV figures, how much money Floyd earns per annum etc. etc. They're like little kids. It's cringeworthy watching them in action. So what if Floyd does better PPV figures than Pacquiao? What kind of person boasts about how much another earns? It's not like any of them are ever going to be able to spend any of it.
The big difference between Floyd's popularity and Pacquiao's is, people tune in to watch Pacquiao's fights because they like him and think he's exciting, whereas the bulk of people who tune in to watch Floyd fights do so because they want to see him lose. And let's not forget that Floyd is American and Pacquao is a foreigner. How many PPVs do you think Floyd would do in the Philippines compared to Pacquiao if the have PPV over there? Floyd wouldn't even be able to compete with Bobby Pacquiao never mind Pacquiao. LMAO.Posted January 16, 2014 7:26 pm

Good Post Hidalgo. Manny can't draw huh? Please, these numbers don't even account for the millions of fans that can't or won't buy PPV. World Wide, Manny Pacquiao is the most popular and biggest draw. The man is a marketing machine world wide. Mcdonalds, Pistachios, Nike, Hennessy, Hewlett Packard, VIA and even the new KOBE 9 shoe put out by Kobe Bryant was inspired by the legendary Manny Pacquiao. Bradley and Mayweather have what endorsement deals? Manny is a great actor, singer, model, congressman. Bradley and Mayweather do what besides boxing? Manny is king. He is the most exciting fighter in boxing history, and he can make money outside of boxing as he has been doing with ease. Bradley draws no one. Manny beat him soundly in the robbery that was given to Bradley. He was given another gift vs Provodnikov and won a close one against Marquez. The reason for him deserving $10 million is what exactly? Manny Pacquiao does not answer to anything Bradley or Mayweather have to say. He will make money regardless. Manny Pacquiao dictates the terms. He is easily the draw in both of these fights should they happen. Voted Fighter Of The Decade and arguably the greatest fighter of all time gets his say. Manny is the best,Posted January 16, 2014 7:06 pm
So Floyd and Manny generated about the same amount of PPV buys. Difference is that the ones that bought Pacquaio's PPVs got to see great fights. Floyd's fights are usually boring as fu*k.Posted January 16, 2014 6:57 pm

Although I don;t feel he's wotrth the 10 million bucks, I also feelthat I can't blame him for asking that amount. After all he did beat Packman. So, he should he the lion's share of the money… It seems that Packman is having a hard time finding an opponent to fight and may I once again suggest he fight Porter who is also a champ holding 2 belt… I think Porter would KO his ass.

Oooh. I just noticed I forgot to add the PPV numbers for Pac's first bout with Marquez. I can't find the PPV numbers for that fight but it's probably safe to say somewhere between 250,000–400,000. So that would put Pac at or over 12 million PPVsPosted January 16, 2014 6:50 pm
Glad you can read hidalgo no one is disputing that. Mannys numbers will be big next time outPosted January 16, 2014 6:49 pm
BTW, Floyd has bigger numbers and fewer fights.Posted January 16, 2014 6:42 pm
Interesting note: During his career Oscar de la Hoya sold over 12.4 million PPVs and he made about $610 million. I think he still has earned more than Floyd to this date.Posted January 16, 2014 6:41 pm
Since 2005 Manny Pacquiao fights have sold about 11.7 million PPVs for 16 fights. Mayweather fights have sold about 12.7 million PPVs or 1 million more than Pacquiao.
Floyd has two fights that did over 2 million PPVs, BUT one was with De la Hoya and one with Alvarez. The reason the PPV numbers for those fights was so great were in large part because of who the opponents were: Alvarez is a very big draw and Oscar was still very popular when Floyd fought him.
Anyways, here's the numbers. Remember they are approximate:
Opponent Pay Per View Buys
Total Approx: 11.7 million

"I offered Manny Pacquiao the fight before," Mayweather said. "We didn't see eye to eye on terms. Years later we come back and I try and make the fight happen again. I offer him $40 million. He said he wanted 50-50. So we didn't make the fight happen.
"All of a sudden, he loses to Timothy Bradley, he loses to Marquez … he has tax problems now. So, two losses and tax problems later, now he all of a sudden want to say: 'You know what? I'd do anything to make the fight happen,' when he's really saying: 'Floyd, can you help me solve my tax problems, get me out of debt?Posted January 16, 2014 6:16 pm

Since tp can't give Pac a big fight it makes full sense that Pac should do some kind of contract deal with gbp where he gets to fight fighters like Garcia, Maidana, Broner and not because of floyd because floyd will never fight him and it's ok.Posted January 16, 2014 5:08 pm
I thought PAC lost the third Marquez fight to. But the draw should have been a PAC winPosted January 16, 2014 5:05 pm
I really didn't think the 3rd Pac vs Marquez fight was that close. I had Marquez winning by 3 rounds. I mean that is a close fight but I thought it was a robbery that Pac won it. I also think the Pac vs Bradley fight was a robbery because you can have a close fight with a clear cut winner and I thought Pac was the clear cut winnerPosted January 16, 2014 4:46 pm
yeah, maybe i should stop beating a dead horse but the pac/marquez fights (except for the last one obviously) are not even in the same realm of "closeness" in regards to the bradley fight. Those first three pac/marquez fights were some of the closest fights ever……and the reason for that is that people's opinions are split down the middle and are still talking about who won. Its almost unanimous as to what people thoughts are on the pac/bradley fightPosted January 16, 2014 4:36 pm
Well too bad, it's in the book, but you can't argue he beat Marquez and Raslan too. I didn't get it but now I know why Bradley beat Manny too. It was the total punch connect not just the power punch. So Bradley outwork and out point Manny. Close but Bradkey did it.Posted January 16, 2014 4:35 pm
So. It is a mute point now. Bradley got the decision. There are many people who think Pac lost the 3rd Pac fight. But fact is the judges ruled in the other direction.Posted January 16, 2014 4:32 pm
"many" might've thought it was close…..the vast "majority" didn't seem to think soPosted January 16, 2014 4:29 pm
It was a close fight. Plain and simple. That was caused by Pac because he only fought 30 seconds a round. I am in agreement that Pac won the fight but the judges didn't think of it that way. There are many people who thought it was a close fight.Posted January 16, 2014 4:26 pm
maybe the compubox numbers MIGHT be off….but 20,000 people in the arena, the comentators and just about everyone on the internet CANT be wrong all at once. Pac got robbed bad…..it wasnt that closePosted January 16, 2014 4:22 pm
No way Pac out landed Bradley by 94 punches. Those compubox stats where way off. After watching the fight again, Pac was missing so many punches. Even when Bradley got hurt, he was never even hit. He rolled his ankle and that is what made him look hurt and wobbly. I thought Pac won but it was a close fight.Posted January 16, 2014 4:12 pm
You see Bradley geology and get hit with a couple of bombs but he recover and will land 4 shots which win him the round.Posted January 16, 2014 4:06 pm
Auzbox- I don't know man, Bradley will outwork anybody. Tough chin, wild punches in bunch. It's a good recipe to beat any good boxer.Posted January 16, 2014 4:04 pm
bradley did not beat manny……no way. it wasnt even close. i seem to remeber an arean full of people booing and bradley spontaneously jumping up and down in shock like he finally got his red rider bb gun for xmas when the "winner" was announced….he looked as surprised as every single other person that saw that fightPosted January 16, 2014 4:02 pm
Havoc last time manny outlanded him in by 94 punches ill take that bet. Manny by decisionPosted January 16, 2014 4:00 pm
Peej- forget about the PPV # we all know manny lose twice so we are not expecting him to be on top but still he is PPV superstar!Posted January 16, 2014 3:59 pm
Bradley will beat Manny. Manny will land the more stronger punch but if he does Knock down Braldley he will lose in points. Bradley will out work manny and will land more punches which the judges get thier points. More punch connects win the rounds.Posted January 16, 2014 3:57 pm
Bradley May never bring much Fans but he did beat Raslan, Marquez and Manny. He deserve 10 millions. If Manny wants to get even he needs to take a pay cut.Posted January 16, 2014 3:54 pm
I to think if cotto fights Martinez it beats 475 but not sure against a no namePosted January 16, 2014 3:52 pm
If Pac beats Bradley then that fight will probably be off the table. Of course depending on how Bradley gets beat, if it happens then that would determine if there needs to be a rubber match. If he where to win the rubber match then yes he would still be in the running. But with the way Pac approaches his rematches we know it would be like a year or so before the rubber match would be made.Posted January 16, 2014 3:49 pm
His numbers for the last fight are not 2nd best. Cotto can beat that number fighting somebody. Lets wait and see what Pacs numbers are in his next fight.Posted January 16, 2014 3:48 pm
@peej I ask you this. If manny beats Bradley if the fight comes off by decision does Bradley still get a floyd fight at some stagePosted January 16, 2014 3:47 pm
Not sure if the Bradley fight will do that much. It didn't do that much before. Bradley has done things for his brand to make him a little big bigger but I'm still not sure it does 900 thousand buys. It may who knows. But with the money demands the fight not be made. Bradley has the ability to stick to what he says and he may pass on the fight.Posted January 16, 2014 3:47 pm
I agree it will be interesting to see canelo s numbers on his ownPosted January 16, 2014 3:46 pm
giving pac too much credit?….for one thing there is no way bradleys people will let him go anywhere near provodnikov anytime soon after that last fight (and, regardless, it wont generate 8-10 million dollars for bradley if they do)……..He beat Marquez decisively in his last fight, so that rematch (which no one cares about seeing) wont generate 8-10 million for bradley either…….who else? there's a bunch of really good fighters at 140, but again, none of them (including bradley) are PPV stars yet and wont generate the 8-10 million that bradley is asking for……short of fighting Mayweather (which i think bradley dserves at this point), there is no other fight where Bradley can make 5-6 million dollars……so he should accept that money and prove that he beat pacquaio the first time around (which we all know he didn't)Posted January 16, 2014 3:45 pm
@peej- now come one you say PAC numbers are down but they are still 2nd best in the world. We would be getting the 2 biggest stars in the ring the same as in 07Posted January 16, 2014 3:45 pm
Cotto does pretty decent in the PPV numbers department. We will see what Canelo does when he fights Angulo. If they keep that fight on PPV which it shouldn't be.Posted January 16, 2014 3:44 pm
Peej the Bradley fight gets atleast 900 and you bud would be one of them. But the prov fight would beat the rios numbers also. They will get the Bradley fight and manny will take the 0 off someone's recorded for a 7 timePosted January 16, 2014 3:43 pm
Well I don't think Pac vs Floyd fight will break any records. From what Pacs numbers have been there is no reason to believe that. Plus with the fighter he has just currently fought and the fighters that are being talked about not being Bradley or Ruslan, that will do nothing for Pacs brand. Won't help in PPV sells neither.Posted January 16, 2014 3:42 pm
@mayweather86- fight didn't do crap the first time around you say but other than floyd who is getting high numbers PPV?Posted January 16, 2014 3:42 pm
Why forget about the Rios fight? What makes you think he is gonna sell over a mil his next fight? Who is he gonna do that with.Posted January 16, 2014 3:41 pm
Who cares about the last PPV numbers we all know manny next fight is going close or over a mill so double the rios fight. Which means the floydoids are wrong in saying the support isn't there. The manny fight breaks the canelo numbers if manny wins twice this year absolutely and the dela Hoya record would go toPosted January 16, 2014 3:40 pm
Peej Pac v Floyd will be at least 90$ most likely 100$ and will sell well over 2 mil ppvs it will crush Floyd v Canelo. I remember when Floyd said he wants the fight at 54 that was a statement not a demand during negotiations Floyd can't make 54 soak and wet.Posted January 16, 2014 3:08 pm
the Ruslan vs Bradley fight was a close fight. Yeah Ruslan could of won. It was a close fight. What caused Ruslan the win though was when Bradley was knocked down in the first I think it was, Ruslan pushed him down instead of just letting him fall. Just because he was hurt and about to go down does not allow the other boxer to actually push you down. That gave Bradley a bit of time to recover from that. It was a close fight that could of gone either way and Bradley also managed to hurt Ruslan later in the fight too.Posted January 16, 2014 2:58 pm
I honestly do think Bradleys price is reasonable he's really Pacs only option to sell a mil ppvs with in TR right now.Posted January 16, 2014 2:58 pm
Sorry, but the Pacquiao fight isn't the only controversy in Bradley's career. Provodnikov out pointed Bradley in a close brutal fight that showed Bradley has more courage and heart than defensive skills. Whenever Provodnikov turned it on he hurt Bradley badly, down more times than recorded, and out on his feet. Bradley suffered a concussion that caused him frequent sudden headaches, and his vision, speech, and balance were effected for five months after the bout. These are signs of a damaged fighter.Posted January 16, 2014 2:41 pm
mayweather 86
Your giving Pac to much credit. Ppv numbers are down and this fight didn't do crap the first time around. We all know Pac was robbed in that fight it's been concluded at this point. But the odds have sifted into tim's favor. He has a lot of options really compared to Pac. Bradley can fight provodnikov again or Marquez if he wants. Last fight weigh top rank which opens up to a fight with Floyd in the fall. Pac on the other hand is running out of options. Nobody is v really interested in the provodnikov fight, Marquez won't fight him again and Floyd is forever out of reach. Couple that with the poor ppv showing against Rios his hands are rather tied. From a power position standpoint Bradley can ask for 50/50 or move onto better optionsPosted January 16, 2014 2:41 pm
No Pac vs Floyd would not double what Floyd vs Canelo did. Sorry. I really don't think it would break that record. It would still make a lot of money yes but not break what the Canelo fight did. Lets see Floyd wanted the fight at 154 but agreed at 147, Pac also determined the ring size, fight was settled at 50/50 for the split. So Floyd agreed to what Pac wanted but Pac couldn't agree to the one thing Floyd wanted. And what made it worse was how he made excuses on why he couldn't instead of just saying no.Posted January 16, 2014 2:39 pm
Peej that whole song and dance about Floyd agreeing to all of Pacs terms is nonsense they came to an agreement on gloves, ringsize etc. Floyd would never let someone dictate those terms to him on principle alone. Pac v Floyd will double what Floyd v Canelo did and neither fighter can do that with anyone else so no one has the leverage to dictate terms to the other. Anyone who tries to argue otherwise sounds foolish. They have to come to a reasonable fair agreement and if any of them (Floyd) tries to dictate terms to the other the blame falls completely on them.Posted January 16, 2014 2:34 pm
im saying that cuz tim just might get it if they want a fight worth something for pacPosted January 16, 2014 2:29 pm
i dont think its reasonable at all……if thats reasonable then pac deserves 50-0/50 against mayweather (once upon a time yes, but at this point, mayweather deserves a bigger chunk of money because he IS more a draw now) ……Bradley is not a draw. People would watch that fight to see Pacquiao beat bradley (again). no way i feel bradley deserves a 50/50 split vs. pacquaio. i dont even think he deserves the 8-10 million that he askingPosted January 16, 2014 2:27 pm
hell i wont pay to see this fight let alone pay to see pac beat up on his sparring partner or a lil guy come on only a fool will pay for pac fights right now well them three guys tim should demand 50/50 even tho he dont have a fan base but hell pac has fell off toPosted January 16, 2014 2:25 pm

50/50 is reasonable. Just unfortunate that Tim Bradley can't draw period.Posted January 16, 2014 2:19 pm
50/50 for bradley?….thats insanePosted January 16, 2014 2:19 pm
forget the ppv # we all know who has the record on that but back to pac and tim i think tim should ask for 50/50 who else pac can fight oh that sparring partner or that featherweight that arum trying to bring up please if i was tim i would ask for 50/50Posted January 16, 2014 2:14 pm
All true points. Bradley needs to realize this. Plus that type of money is just not there anymore.Posted January 16, 2014 2:13 pm
As the "champion" and the "winner" of the 1st fight vs. Pacquiao, Bradley wants a bigger piece of the pie. I kind of understand where he's coming from, but (A) as stated in this article, he doesn't bring in a lot of fans, (B) his fight style isn't likely to bring in more fans because it's kinda boring, (C) the 1st fight was not a good fight to watch (again, kinda boring), and (D)95% of the people who watched the first fight thought that Pac won.Posted January 16, 2014 2:10 pm

You don't even know what this conversation is about. You're still locked in PEEJ Mayweather vs PAC mode. You spend half your life locked in that mode. Do you have any idea how pathetic and sad that is? That's the illness I'm talking about. What is wrong with you? You rarely ever make any sense. You're totally obsessed by Mayweather vs Pac. It's extremely disturbing to say the least. There are people out there who can help you PEEJ. They get paid to help people like you. All you have to do is reach out to them. Don't be so stubborn.

The only reason they lost money on the fight was because of all the promoting the did of the fight. All the specials they had for Floyd. That is the only reason. They made all that up with the Canelo fight and then some. All I know is the VP of showtime said it did a little over a million buys. I will go with what he said.Posted January 16, 2014 1:28 pm

Lol Peej whats the exact # of buys for the Guerrero fight. Oh thats right the #s were never released because the FCC would've buried Showtime in fines had they claimed it sold over a mil. We do know that Showtime lost 12 mil on the fight though. Showtime should get use to losing mils. theres only one Canelo.Posted January 16, 2014 1:10 pm
Problem is they can't come out and say one thing and then claim something else. If that is the case then that will raise some type of money issues. Tax problems. Things of that nature.Posted January 16, 2014 1:10 pm
ive also read that the guerrero fight did 900,000…..its hard to know who to believe. if you're only listening to showtime, they have an interest in saying that the numbers are higher than they actually were, and vice versaPosted January 16, 2014 1:07 pm
Showtime VP said it did over a million. So until he comes out and says anything different I will go with what he said.Posted January 16, 2014 1:01 pm

teflon – where are you getting your numbers?…..mayweather/canelo was the biggest money fight in history in terms of rrevenue, but it did not come close to 3 million ppvs. If i remember correctly Mayweather/de la hoya is still the #1 ppv fight in history (and that was just over 2 million)Posted January 16, 2014 12:23 pm
Bradley vs. Marquez did 375,000 ppv. Manny fought Bradley at it did 875,00 ppvs. Manny fought Rios it did 475,00 ppvs. Manny is a bigger name than Bradley but as you can see none of these guys ever cracked one million ppvs.Posted January 16, 2014 12:17 pm
Floyd fought Canelo and it made over 3 million ppvs. He walked away with 150-200 million the highest in boxing history, Over passing when he fought Oscar. Chico de mayo they will buy the fight if he fights any latino and he makes a killing. Now Kahn will easily sell 2-3 million ppvs becuase they love this dude in the UK. Then there is Danny Garcia they are not just building him up on the under card for no reason. He is next in line maybe in September. Too undefeated fighters going at it will be huge again. Fighting Manny makes no snese at this point back in 09 it did but now it would only benefit Manny and Arum. Mainly Arum. Floyd can easily make 200 million beating Kahn then Garcia without the headaches. its a no brainer.Posted January 16, 2014 12:11 pm
How much $ did Bradley make vs. Marquez? Was it pay per view? If so, how many buys?Posted January 16, 2014 12:05 pm
Yeah Arum was his promoter during all those failed negotiations but Pac and company kept coming up with excuses on why the fight couldn't be made.Posted January 16, 2014 11:56 am
Actually Floyd vs the Ortiz fight did over a million but you are right the Hatton fight was under a million. The Guerrero fight did over a million and that is per the Showtime VP. Until he says something else that is what I am going with. Floyds fights after Oscar have all done over a million except for the Hatton fight.Posted January 16, 2014 11:54 am
Hell 40 million is a far cry more than what Floyd is paying these other guys, and they are lining up. But who is lining up to find Manny? Hell Arum cannot find another sucker. And it has nothing to do with fear you mean to tell me everyone is scared of Manny. No he has no draw power and people are tired of being messed over by the jew, Since Floyd became a household name he marketed himself he became his own promoter and lies out the terms for guys to fight him. Manny was giving the terms just like everyone else and he chose to walk away now what does he have nothing, Hell Manny couldnt make 40 million fighting 10 guys. Floyd and Arum have bad blood from back when he was managed by top rape thats why he could never work with Arum because at the end of the day Arum will walk away like a fat rat, Manny is a slave. He should have taken the 40 million and the fight on 09 now he has nothing, Bradley is in the same boat,Posted January 16, 2014 11:53 am
Id give Bradley 10mil just for whooping Marquez lol.Posted January 16, 2014 11:38 am
How do you figure they don't want to fight Floyd? Floyd's plans are probably fight Maidana on Cinco De Mayo or something to get the Hispanic PPV dollar. Predictable. Now they say they don't work with Bob Arum. Wasn't Arum Pac's promoter through all of the ost, 40 mil no ppv, leave and join TMT, etc… Excuses.Posted January 16, 2014 11:38 am

wow wants to get rewarded again last time a win now 10m wow another zero loss hahahaha this is getting ridiculousPosted January 16, 2014 11:37 am
Your right Pac and company don't want to fight Floyd. They also sound like they don't want to fight Bradley neither.Posted January 16, 2014 11:31 am
10 million sounds about right with his "win" over Pac. Don't bring Floyd into this. He don't want the fight so let him be. Health reasons.Posted January 16, 2014 11:22 am
And on another note, you are right Floyd may never reach the amount of numbers he reached for Oscar or Canelo again. But ask yourself this, has Pac ever seen those numbers before? Nope. Floyd sells a million every time. Pac does not. Bradley has one more fight with Arum. Once that fight is done, I bet he does not resign with Arum and we will get a Bradley vs Floyd fight.Posted January 16, 2014 11:06 am
No you are wrong, his PPV numbers are not always well over a million. Hatton vs Pac only did 825, Pac vs Clottey did 700, Pac vs Bradley 700, Pac vs Rios did 475. Pac does not always do a mil plus. And yes I can compare the 2. Bradley has been building his brand, no it is not as big as Pacs and he is not gonna get as much as Pac. But it is still funny, Floyd sells more than Pac yet Pac wants even money, Pac sells more than Bradley, all Bradley is asking for is more than what he made last time and Arum is saying no. So I would say that is a double standard.Posted January 16, 2014 11:03 am
Peeje….Trying to compare Pac to Bradley is like trying to compare apples to oranges, totally different. need to understand Pac is an international star….a future hall of fame inductee whose PPV numbers, besides his last fight, are always well over one million. If you want to throw in there Floyd's last fight, you need to consider who Floyd fought as the reason why those numbers were so high as they were, and why Floyd's numbers will never be up there again. Pac puts asses in seats. Bradley does not. Pac doesn't have a contract that guarantees him the same money each time out like Floyd's does. To that effect, Floyd would lose nothing offering Bradley 10M because Floyd will still get 32M, regardless who he fights. In fact, Floyd should grow a pair and fight Bradley instead of facing a has been such as Khan. Using Top Rank as an excuse to avoid fighting Bradley also, is as ridiculous as it can get.Posted January 16, 2014 10:52 am
Pac vs Rios was held in China to avoid taxes. Army spoke about thus many times before the fight. Pac should have prayed less and prayed taxes more.Posted January 16, 2014 10:47 am
I find it funny that Pac fans try to come up with reasons on why Bradley does not deserve the money he is asking for. He is not gonna get it because the money is not there and he is not the draw. But then they defend Pac when he was asking for a lot of money against Floyd when Pac wasn't the draw against Floyd. Yeah he brought in a lot of fans but he didn't bring as many as Floyd brought. But yet people say Floyd was scared of Pac for that but those same guys are saying Bradley is crazy. Double standard, terrible.Posted January 16, 2014 10:28 am
Arum took the fight to China because they are his buddy Senator Fairy Reid's biggest lobby.Posted January 16, 2014 10:23 am
I can see Bradley getting $8 mil. but $10 is too much. He isn't pulling in enough fans to ask for that. He's trying to get as much as he can, and I can't blame him, but he ultimately shouldn't turn away from the fight if he doesn't get that much. Besides, he won't get that much fighting anyone else, except maybe Floyd who already has his excuse ready as to why he can't take that fight.Posted January 16, 2014 9:59 am

I keep hearing this silly "straw man" argument about Pacquaiao being the biggest draw, therefore he deserves more of the profits. Answer me this, who and what determines who the biggest draw is? If one keeps repeating a lie, others will believe it! When I purchased the Floyd vs. Canelo fight, I purchased the fight because it was a competitive night of boxing, not because I am a personality worshipper, like many hear. Some people purchase fights because they are following there favorite fighter. However, others like myself purchase fights based on the sweet science itself. You have casual fans, you have moderate fans, and you have fans of boxing itself. No one boxer has a monopoly on payperview sales. Therefore, when two boxers are negotiating for prizes, it should be fair and equitable for both, because the purses are being paid for in the front end and the back end by the fans!Posted January 16, 2014 4:56 am
BOYCOTT MAYWEATHER UNTIL HE FIGHTS A LEGEND AND FUTURE HALL OF FAMER. Khan is a nobody in the boxing. Other opponents are not on Pac's level. A fighter's skills don't fluctuate with PPV numbers. In terms of Floyd, , PPV numbers are insignificant because ole snake oil salesman Floyd has a GUARANTEED purse……..REGARDLESS of who he fights…….so using Pac's recent PPV numbers as some sort of relevant argument against Floyd fighting him is not credible. Floyd will lose NOTHING……. in fact……..floyds BIGGEST career purse would be with Pac. Now, that Floyd chooses to use Arum as an excuse, when he didn't use him as an excuse four years ago smells of hypocrisy but more so, fear of losing his perfect record. That I could accept as a reason but, he's still a P4P coward.Posted January 16, 2014 4:37 am

He earned a whole lot more than 3 mill for Marquez 4 and he would be lucky to owe 15 mill like that has anything to do with boxing anyway. His ppv numbers will be higher than his last which is all that they need to be. A Bradley fight gets 800-900000 buys no other fighter gets anywhere near that.

You guys that say Manny fights for 3M a fight are delusional. He makes about 70-75% of the pay per view revenue. With 25-30% going to Arum. Arum pays for the ENTIRE promotion, which is substantial. Mayweather pays a LARGE flat fee to GBP to promote his fights for him. At the end of the day both fighters make A lot of money. Trying to claim that Manny is being raped is crazy.

His growth is stunted lol. Why is it guys that have just came up through the ranks sell more PPvs than Manny? Reason why is because he fights Floyd lefts overs. No one will pay good money to see the likes of guys like Rios has never been a draw. Mannys biggest fight only did 875,000 ppvs when he fought Bradley the first time now second will sell much less. You cant make good money fighting no name boxers. You said the Rios fight wasnt promoted right? Well my friend you cant put a tuxedo on a pig and its still a pig at the end of the day, The public is too smart for that. Since Mannys losses his numbers have gone way down now the Rios bout did less than 475,000. Guys like Danny Garcia. Broner, Thurman are new to the game and they make more than Pac easily and will continue too. You say Manny will grow and get big fights in 2014 with who?

Manny' s fight against Rios was promoted in a very dismal way. A few select places, and that's all. I saw nothing. You guys will see Manny's popularity in his next fight. The world is still fascinated by the technical boxing exhibition Manny put on against Brandon Rios. Those that dislike Manny are trying hard to dismiss Manny's growing popularity as well as his unmatched boxing ability. His endorsements continue to grow. Manny Pacquiao will be fine financially as all of these over blown tax issues are currently getting resolved. Manny is still commanding 15-25million pay days fighting virtually anyone. Manny Pacquiao is the draw and will continue to be the man. Legends like Manny just don't fall off the face of the earth. People don't forget once in a lifetime fighters like Manny Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather was called a coward by Manny, and he was put in his place. I see everyone running from Manny today. First Marquez and his "I like this good feeling" talk won't give Manny a rematch out of fear and then Mayweather's ridiculous and cowardly excuses continue as to why he won't fight the living legend that is Manny Pacquiao. Manny haters want badly to se him go away, but that's not going to happen. Manny will beat Broner, Maidana, Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Bradley, Martinez, Mayweather and GGG if he wants a part of arguably the greatest fighter of all time, Manny Pacquiao. Manny still has the blazing hand and foot speed, the brutal power, the graceful movement, pin point accuracy, unmatched will to win and the confidence to know he can beat anyone. No one can match Manny Pacquiao at thi time. He's hungry, upset and is looking for hi next victim. Anyone out there dare to fight him? Manny is the best, trust me.Posted January 16, 2014 2:53 am

"Bradley vs Marquez was 375k PPVs, Pac vs Rios was 475k PPV. Pac is not much of a major draw nowadays unless he has to face Floyd which is not gonna happen anytime soon so if Pac is getting $20M tis only fair that Tim gets half of that as the champ. -Happyboy"
Mayweather made 40 mil…does that mean Canelo should've gotten 20 mill??Posted January 16, 2014 2:45 am

I think Pac/Provodnikov would do better than a rematch with Bradley. Besides, Bradley has two questionable wins and we've seen Provo bring it, he's an animal. Bradley should rematch Ruslan instead before anyone else. If these promoters weren't such hardon's with each other, fans wouldn't be in this predicament. Seems promoters are waiting to be regulated by gov't , which is what takes place when fans and the sport are held hostage by petty bickering and each side doing their best to destroy the other, but have no problem charging fans $60- 70 for glorified sparring, like the floyd/khan they'd like to sell you. That fight in particular is like a chopped liver meal, cheap and unsavory.Posted January 16, 2014 2:40 am
Happyboy a true boxing fan doesn't judge fighters on ppv numbers and it seems that's all you floydoids care about rather than the boxing itselfPosted January 16, 2014 2:39 am
Boxing use to be the biggest sport in the world but has been surpassed by soccer cause soccer bosses realise that there's different levels of making money eg : local leagues, champions league, and World Cup so the sport has grown substantially as one feeds the other. Boxing is still concentrated in the USA even though the sport is popular world wide. Boxing needs a FIFA to take it tl the next level and Rob Arums, alphabet organisations are not growing the sport, everyone is happy with what they getting. BUMMER!!!!!Posted January 16, 2014 2:38 am
The problem here is HBO/TOP SKANK & SHOWTIME/GBP not working together to serve the sport thats making both wealthy instead they form their own teams and offer their own fixtures and earn big monies but could make even bigger money if they worked together.Posted January 16, 2014 2:30 am

Happyboy: Why would you compare maidana vs broner being a bigger draw than pac vs rios?Posted January 16, 2014 2:21 am
Stop. LYING Hecdog. The Pacquiao-Rios Fight WAS promoted. I live in LA and there were BIG billboards up promoting the Fight…the problem wasn't promotion. The problem IS that Arum went to the #0 P4P NON Championship well TOO many times. The problem also IS that everyone knows that Pacquiao is no longer recognized as the BEST. People will pay to see the BEST which is why Mayweather can sell a minimum of 800k PPV no matter WHO he Fights….Pacquiao is actually LUCKY that Bradley isn't charging 50-50 because HE has MUCH leverage. HE is the CHAMP and HE is the only guy people are going to pay to see Pacquiao Fight besides Mayweather and Marquez who are both out of the picture. IF he doesn't give Bradley 10 mil then he'll be facing another #0 P4P NON CHAMP and that equals another BOMB at the Box Office. Promotion or NO promotion.Posted January 16, 2014 2:19 am

Assbox – " 2nd biggest draw" do you consider 475k a BIG draw, you got jokes. Broner vs Maidana was a bigger draw. In business there are no sentiments, you are as big as your last draw and Pac is way down there in the gutter and will need a lot of help to get him back up and paying guys who beat him little is not gonna get him there, believe that.Posted January 16, 2014 2:11 am

Assbox – stop wondering fool and bring facts, Pac is not even gonna have a fight if his boss is not willing to pay good boxers their worth just to appease Pacnap. Pac only sold 100 000 more than Bradley in their last fights, he has no title, rated lower than him in WW & P4P rankings. Stop living in the past and grasp reality.Posted January 16, 2014 2:01 am
Oi happyboy you must not be a big boxing fan cause Gamboa was never considered so don't believe what you read and study the great sport properly or stick to your day jobPosted January 16, 2014 1:57 am

G A Y boy I was just wondering if that rule applies for floyd half share if he is fighting for someone else's titles. And yeh 475 more than Marquez and Bradley combined, as I said PAC next fight 900000 easy which floyd only got just over 1 with guerroPosted January 16, 2014 1:54 am

Bradley is delirious! He's not getting $10million to fight the legendary Manny Pacquiao. He was clearly beaten by Manny in the first fight. He was beaten IMO by Provodnikov and he won a closefight vs Marquez. He has no drawing power. Yes he deserves a good pay day $3-$5 million tops. Manny is still the biggest draw in boxing. The Macau is very misleading. No promotion or publicity in the state for the Rios fights as well as well as not taking into account those that can't afford to buy PPV events. You'll see the numbers rise drastically when he fights in Las Vegas. Bradley has never been nor will he ever be a big draw. Manny Pacquiao is the mot popular athlete on earth. His appeal to the world is astonishing. People get drawn to Manny Pacquiao. The poor, rich, famous all come to see Manny fight. Bradley would never be where he is today if not for the Manny Pacquiao robbery win he was given. Sorry Timothy you need more than that to get the big money.Posted January 16, 2014 1:35 am
And if PAC got that many fighting a nobody and Bradley and Marquez are well sort of known and couldn't get near it I still think he is a big enough draw, if he fights Bradley it will be atleast 900,000 mark my words which is a heap and well on his way to getting back obviously needs the win ofcoarsePosted January 16, 2014 1:25 am
So if floyd fights lets say GGG for his title this is hypothetical of coarse because GGG is champ he entitled to half. Fair callPosted January 16, 2014 1:23 am
Old Coot – if Bob is not willing to pay his boxers their worth then he should let them go where the will get paid cause fans are not buying into his inhouse rematches anymore. Mikey Garcia needs to fight Gamboa or Gary Russell jnr, Pac has a host of WWs in Thurman, Porter, Maidana & JWWs in Garcia, Matthyse, Peterson instead of Bradley & JMM again.Posted January 16, 2014 1:22 am
Auzbox – Bradley vs Marquez was 375k PPVs, Pac vs Rios was 475k PPV. Pac is not much of a major draw nowadays unless he has to face Floyd which is not gonna happen anytime soon so if Pac is getting $20M tis only fair that Tim gets half of that as the champ.Posted January 16, 2014 1:13 am

I dont care who gets what.. but of the fights i would like to see pac in next, outside mayweather, then this is it… i would buy it for sure and i think most fans would like to see this as there is defiantly unfinished business between the two… Bradly it seems, is a very underated by many. I think its a tough fight to call , a genuine 50/50 IMOPosted January 16, 2014 12:56 am

And bradley, deserves every dime. People are always talking about Floyd is a coward for not Pac. But Pac loving fans dont say nothing about him not trying to get his crown back. What a jerk weed. Pacs options at top rank are Garcia and Provo. Wow what a waste. Pac should be trying to figure out how Koncz cut a deal and now us top rank employee according to visioqwest. He needs to be asking arum where is his loot and why he is not making floyd like cash.Posted January 16, 2014 12:00 am
Boxtradamus Pac has never made 40 million for one fight in his life. Floyd offered him 40 million and he turned it down Arum probably gets like 20 percent. Hell no Manny only makes about 3 million a fight less after taxes and what he pays out dude is probably lucky to see 1.5 a fight as bas as he is getting raped. Manny a draw? Manny got 3 million to fight Marquez 4 and got KTFO lol since when his last fight with Rios did a embarrassing les than 475,000 ppv. I dont think Manny at his peak sold 1 million ppvs ever. He has never been a mega star. Guys like Broner, Danny Garcia and Miadana do bigger numbers than Manny and Bradley combined.Posted January 15, 2014 11:51 pm
get over it
Manny is close if not at his end. He had a nice run in 09 but its over Even if he somehow manages to fight Bradley and win which I doubt who does that leave and who cares? Ruslan no one want to see either fight. Floyd was it now that it will never happen because Floyd will never do buisness with Arum Manny si left with nothing. No one in the game wants to fight him as long as he is with Top rank hell they wont even buy his fights on ppv. 2014 will be it for Manny sad to say. Unless he somehow makes it past Bradley and or Ruslan and make it to 2015 without another loss. And dont re-sign with Arum. He can fight anyone all the big names. But again it a long shot and I doutb he makes it that far. Manny has one foot on a banana peel and the other foot on a grave as far as his career s concerned….Posted January 15, 2014 11:44 pm
IF Pac is the draw that they SAY he is then giving Bradley 10 mil should be EASY. Leaves 40 mi for Pac. Make the Fight.Posted January 15, 2014 11:37 pm
Arum is the only one getting over like a fat rat no wonder why all his fighters are broke. Bradley should have learned from Manny on what not to do. Bradley is undefeated and he cannot land bouts with Floyd, Garcia or any of the top welters? He and Manny are in the same boat and joined at the hip in a sinking ship. All they have is each other the crop of Top rape fighters gets shorter every week…Posted January 15, 2014 11:33 pm
You all are getting ripped ppv in Australia 30-40Posted January 15, 2014 11:17 pm
I am no Timothy Bradley fan, however he has beaten everyone that's been put in front of him, including Pacquiao. Is it too much for an American boxing star who has rose within the sport to ask for a fair share? Lets be real here, the majority of people purchasing pay-per view at $70.00 a clip are those who can afford it. It saddens me when its O.K. to pay a big payout to a foreign boxing star who was made a star by the American public, but its not O.K. to pay the American boxing star a comparable payout. The hypocrisy is endless!Posted January 15, 2014 11:15 pm

I think the writer it's missing one key fact- no one really wants to see Pacman in the ring either. His PPV numbers are embarrassing to say the least. Infact Bradley right now has a better chance of getting bigger PPV numbers with rematches against marquez or Ruslan( first fight was fight of the year). Manny is desperate and the world knows it. That's why Bradley can ask for $10m & floyd asks for 70%!! Fact is they have other options he doesn't. In my opinion, Manny should go after who ever is hot right now- which in this case its Maidana. It should be a fairly easy fight but could give him some decent PPV numbersPosted January 15, 2014 10:08 pm
Another double standard. Pac ask for more money against Floyd and he deserves it. Bradley asking for more money and he is greedy. Makes me laugh.Posted January 15, 2014 10:03 pm

bradley just did a ppv with marquez that sold about 375k. pacquaio and marquez first ppv fight which was before pacman was a huge star, did 420k buys. pac and marquez last 2 fights both did well over 1 million buys. bradley has zero drawing power. bradley knows he is gonna get beat down and this will be his last major payday so he is trying to cash out. cotto didnt get 10 mil to fight mayweather and bradley will never be half the star cotto is.Posted January 15, 2014 9:55 pm

Manny should of gotten the rematch asap, but he chose Marquez 4 and got knocked out. He is not a 1 million pay per view draw anymore, he just not. (Lol, unless Mayweather of course).
PEEJ is right. The money is not there, but if they want to give Pacquiao a belt, then Bradley wants paying.

Bradley deserves it. All he does is win. But he is not gonna get a 50/50 split. He is not making more than Pac. The type of money that's in this fight will only allow him to make what he made the first time, maybe slightly more. But he's not getting 8 or 10 million to fight Pac. The money just isn't there.Posted January 15, 2014 7:52 pm
TEFLON: how many times with the same thing, manny is not a welter he just chooses to fight there so dehydrated doesn't cover it. If the guys want pay days then they make whatever weight is told. Floyd is making khan bloat up if they fight which is the same, bet you praise that duckPosted January 15, 2014 7:51 pm
The only controversy in Bradley's career has been the Pacquiao win and other than that, he's smart to ask for big money in the rematch.
Bradley has earned his stripes over the years and he's not the first to have a nod go his way and his arm raised.
The Prov fight was the first time I ever saw him under pressure and was even more surprised when he adapted to the pressure and showed us he ain't that bad with a counter off the back foot.
Is Bradley entitled to a pension?
Absolutely he is and his wife and kids should never go hungry because he's paid his debt to boxing.Posted January 15, 2014 7:39 pm

Bradley is the champion and entitled to ask for whatever he wants. However, he was given controversial decisions after the terrible Broner type beating Provodnikov gave him, and poor judgment of C.J. Ross in the Pacquiao fight.Posted January 15, 2014 7:32 pm
I like Tim Bradley, but I am hard on him… (The Pacquaio fight aside)
**Now, being fair to the kid… He has faught Pacquaio, Ruslan and Marquez all back to back. And Devon Alexander 5 fights ago. In today's Boxing, that is a heck of a schedule. He's the champ, he hasn't technically lost, he should get the $10 million, especially if Pacquaio is getting double.
Arum wont give up the 10 million he will simply find some else a washed up bum or a dehydrated fighter, Or a lightweight or featherweight coming off a huge loss to fight Manny, and get all the money and Manny will still be broke with nothing crying how Floyd is scared to fight him. Manny the great will never avenge his losses he will never beat anyone in his own weight class or beat anyone undefeated he is the biggest lie in boxing. Great fighters beat great fighters, No one can name one great fighter that Manny beat at his own weight, in the last five years. The welters are stacked with Talent but he never fights these guys, All they do is talk about Floyd like he is Jesus and needs to save Manny.Posted January 15, 2014 6:58 pm
Fight Aficionado
Don't price yourself out of the fight Bradley. Had he lost 10-2 in rounds as he should have, he'd be off PPV and his paydays would've been less than half what they are.Posted January 15, 2014 6:53 pm
man bradly its a boring fighter just like floyd ….when floyd fights he sells but just because ppl wana see him beat by the other guy with bradly nobady cares if he wins or lose he still bori.g face floyd against bradley and the ppv numbers wil be real low ….floyd needs the mexican warriors their are the ones who bring money to the table with theirs fansPosted January 15, 2014 6:51 pm
get over it
Truth is Bradley is in the same boat as Manny they are both with Top Rape. There first fight only had 875,000 ppvs, No one will buy this fight period. They need to put it on for free as a gift to the public. Bradley is undefeated and instead of facing guys like Floyd Danny Garica, Maidana he has to settle for whoever Arum tells him to fight the Jew makes all the money and pays these guys peanuts, Anyone who signs to Arum is a fool and a broke one at that.Posted January 15, 2014 6:47 pm
Bradley won the first fight, he deserves more in the rematch. Pacquiao lost the first fight, he deserves less in the rematch. Bradley name doesn't really sell, but a champion deserves respect. Bradley $10 miliion request is still less than 50 percent of Pacquiao's offer. Give Bradley the damn money!Posted January 15, 2014 6:43 pm
Wouldn't cross the street to see Bradley fight for free & he's asking 10 million to fight Pacquiao? what a joke.Posted January 15, 2014 6:40 pm
What other option does Arum have for Pacquiao? Micky Garcia? Hey, why not Rigondeaux?Posted January 15, 2014 6:29 pm
$10M to hand over the belt and beated to a pulp…or $6M and keep the belt and send Marquez crying foul a second time. Which is the better option?Posted January 15, 2014 6:28 pm
Sheriff Joe's chicken
why? He barely won against Provodnikov and got a controversial win against Pacquioa, Ran all night against Marquez. He is a snoozer and no one will pay to watch him fight. Hes been lucky not get KTFO. If you ask me he should be the one facing KHAN instead.Posted January 15, 2014 6:27 pm
american boxing
another black guy get a gift winning now asking for more moneyPosted January 15, 2014 6:17 pm
I agree tim Bradley has earned it. Old coot your right on, floyd will demand pac divorse his wife and cut floyd grass for 6 years, and do floyds laundry, then he will sign.Posted January 15, 2014 6:14 pm
Old Coot
Happyboy: Yeah OK. What else is new? After all, you ARE a garden variety Mayweather apologist! LOL!!Posted January 15, 2014 6:08 pm
It is Pac whose not worth $20M a fight, Bradlei is the one with the title rated #3 P4P, un beaten against a host of world champions and HOFmers.Posted January 15, 2014 6:07 pm
Old Coot
eric: YUP!… Next Mayweather will demand Pacquiao divorce Jinkee too… Not just his boxing family!Posted January 15, 2014 6:05 pm
Old Coot
Well, he clearly beat Marquez who KO'd Pacquiao… He's earned it… After all, it was the judges who robbed Pacquiao, not Bradley. So why penalize him?Posted January 15, 2014 6:04 pm
At least he's not asking pac to divorse his family or swim to the bottom of the ocean and catch an octopus with his teeth or some other crazy nonsense like Mayweather s doing.Posted January 15, 2014 5:57 pm
The writer does't think an undefeated top 10 p4p, with wins over arguably at the time p4p number, is a household name?
TB is right in asking that amount and if anything , is offering MP a rematch not the other way round.
For MP this is the best fight he can make more money on, on HBO fighers
He should stick to his gunsPosted January 15, 2014 5:55 pm
He's doing what's right b/c you can imagine how much pac is going to make. So I think he's doing the right thing, by asking for $10. Who has Alverez fought other than Floyd. Actually if you want to get technical the only person should be asking for that amout between those three is Cotto. He's actually a household name, he fought the best of them. What more can you ask for from a champion who actually wasn't didnt fight smaller opposition.Posted January 15, 2014 5:47 pm

Rescuers reach injured climber in Chelan County
Published On: Jun 05 2014 01:02:50 PM CDT
Rescuers have reached a woman injured in a fall on Mount Stuart, about 12 miles southwest of Leavenworth in Chelan County.
A dispatch supervisor in Wenatchee, Dennis Keppner, also says air resources are on the way Thursday morning.
High winds prevented helicopters from reaching the woman Wednesday. But a copter from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station dropped off a deputy and medic overnight about 2,200 feet below the woman's location.
The sheriff's office says the 29-year-old woman was seriously injured when she slid about 800 feet to the 8,900-foot level of the mountain. Her climbing partner called 911 for help.
