2x...and defending
Dan Rafael Chat Wrap 2/27:
Mayweather - Pacquiao news:
- Mayweather-Pacquiao was harder to make than Lewis-Tyson.
- Tickets are not available for Mayweather-Pacquiao yet. They have not done a seating chart or priced seats yet. The seats that are "available" are brokers pre-selling tickets that they hope they can secure tickets (when released) to fill those orders.
- Very likely there will be little to no public sale of tickets for Mayweather-Pacquiao.
- As what usually happens, Mayweather and Pacquiao's camp will be consulted on judges, and then the commission makes the final decision.
- There will be 7 fights on the card, 3 televised on the PPV.
- No confirmation yet if this PPV will be shown in theaters.
- He was told the gloves negotiation was done very easily and early on in the negotiations.
- No word on how much closed circuit tickets will be. Would not be surprised if they were $200. If the closed circuit was as big as it was for Mayweather vs. Hatton, there will be over 30,000 seats sold.
- Believes that fighting each other helps both fighters legacy, even if they lose. See: Hearns, Leonard, Hagler, and Duran. Fight the best and it adds to your legacy.
- Bob Arum and the MGM do not have a good relationship. It was likely one of the issues that had to be overcome in negotiations.
- From those involved, Manny and Floyd meeting at the Heat game wasn't critical to the fight getting made, but it definitely sped the process up.
- Arum and Haymon met face to face at Moonves' house in Beverly Hills. It was critical to getting the fight made. Les Moonves is credited as being the hero in helping get the fight made.
The rest of Boxing:
- TR looking for a new date for Nicholas Walters.
- Dulorme could be a difficult opponent for Crawford, but Crawford has elite talent and should win the fight.
- The winner of Matthysse-Provodnikov has a good chance at fighting Crawford, if he beats Dulorme. Thinks Matthysse is a tougher fight for Crawford.
- If Brook beats Dan, there is a good chance we could see Brook vs. Khan in the Summer.
- HBO wants GGG to fight 5/16. There really are no quality opponents available for that date. Possible opponents could be: Tureano Johnson, Willie Monroe, Hugo Centeno, or Sebastian Heiland...maybe even Korobov.
- He would be mildly interested in seeing GGG face Arthur Abraham.
- GGG and Cotto are not close in negotiating a fight.
- Best unmade fight right now? Cotto-Canelo.
- There was no bad blood between Cotto and Canelo in the negotiations. Fight could still happen later on. It would not shock him if it happened in September.
- Next opponent/date for Andre Ward? No updates and the schedule is starting to fill up. Fan questions he gets rarely have anything to do with Ward.
- This week's Sports Illustrated had advertising for Thurman-Guerrero, Broner-Molina.
- Has heard Rios, Bradley, and Bundrage names as opponents for Cotto in June.
- Gerald Tucker is training James Kirkland for the Canelo fight. Kirkland's manager prefers that he would train with Ann Wolfe.
- Boxers who wasted their talent more than Kirkland? Francisco Bojado and Ricardo Williams.
- Chris Arreola will return March 13 on Spike.
- Bey vs. Shavikov is going to a purse bid.
- Haymon is working on a time buy with ESPN. ESPN pays about $2-3 million to put on fights each year. Haymon could be offering $8 million to buy time.
- Ricardo Lopez was easily the best Strawweight of all time.
- Diego De La Hoya has looked good and is a prospect to watch. Has potential to be a top fighter at 122.
- He believes JCC ducked GGG.
- Seldin vs. Garcia? Seldin by KO.
- It appears as if Haymon is trying to setup Mares vs. LSC. Very possible for later in the year.
- Frampton vs. Avalos? Frampton.
- Don't expect Frampton to fight Rigo.
- Named his two cats after boxers: Popo (Freitas) and Thunder (Gatti).
- Roc Nation has no cards scheduled, although they do have 2 times buys left with FS1.
- Linares vs. Gamboa? ODH wanted to make the fight, but Gamboa wasn't interested and didn't want to fight at 135.
