so wait Floyd getting paid as much as pac fight....so they expect this ppv to do 4+ mill buys??
I'm not concerned about it, boxing was always half entertainment half sport, it never quite worked like a "normal" organized sport. So I just see the pattern continues...A circus fight being put at the forefront of the sport hurts the sports overall credibility and standing with casuals
First time I agree with @patscorpio on anything Floyd related. This fight is a hoax and it's only done because the powers that be see the potential money to be made and opened their checkbook to invest. I will watch it but it's really messed up that this is happening to a long anticipated fight in Canelo vs GGG. Floyd legacy might take a hit on this because he didn't fight a real boxer on his last fight. However the commissions are happy, Vegas is happy and the investors are happy. Fight will make a ton of money. I see Conor getting DQd after being embarrassed. He could not even position himself to outbox Nate Diaz, and you think he gonna be out stepping and setting Floyd up ? This Is Beyond Crazy.
My dude told me that crap last week and Dana just sucked up to Floyd and was happy to get his little cut and help promote this fight. What Dana doesn't see though is the chess match he just lost. My dude said about 75% of UFC fighters have tried to contact Haymon and some other folks just to get in a boxing ring and make more money. They have made formal and informal requests. If you look at Amanda Nunes, she's a pure boxer. Great punching power and moves like a boxer. You're gonna see Lotta UFC fighters trying to eye the boxing water. That's gonna create major issues in the UFC. Conor is the measuring stick now. A Bronze vs Mikey Mouse fight would make some money. Just like a Brone Dillan haw fight just some examples.
The only reason you see Dana in the mix is because he called Haymon and sold it as he can bring his UFC viewers over. His UFC viewers would be willing to buy if the UFC promotes the fight as well. Also, some investors are raping the UFC fighters so they didn't wanna fukk their money up by stepping on Dana.
I have been saying this since last year. Once my dude started making a strong case for that fight, I knew it was gonna be done no matter what. Money talks.
However for Oscar, he is just bitter over the chess move Floyd pulled on him. I don't care about that. I just want the Canelo fight a little bigger. Oscar should push the back for 1 month. That's enough time for the casuals to recover and get enough money to dish out the PPV dough.
My dude told me about this shyt briefly on Monday but I never even cared to even ask him again since he already told me the fight was finalized.
Floyd about to make 150-200+ mil in one night. That's fukk in crazy. That's more revenue than GGG Canelo alone. That gotta hurt. Sucks to be Canelo cuz he admires Floyd and very grateful that he stepped in the ring with him.
At this point I almost hope McGregor wins because this is a terrible way to break Rocky's record. This is after fighting a WASHED Berto to get to 49
fukk Rocky and his record
idk man maybe I care less about casuals opinion than most of you hereits the wrong type of attention is bringing..boxing is supposed to be trying to build some stars in this generation post floyd-manny..the good matchups have happened..we have a good amount of FOTY candidates so far and yes more good matchups are happening..the question is will they get the same amount of attention like the whats going on with floyd-conor? no they wont and thats not fair
Golden Boy was also promoting the Cotto fightGood for Floyd. Canelo and GGG had ample time to fight each other but insisted on beating up cans (besides Danny) and dodging each other for 2 years. Not Floyd or Haymon's problem.
Golden Boy probably has those n-word emails ready to go
fukk Rocky and his record
