This is an excellent article…especially the way it points out the scenario between PBF-ODLH-MAYORGA

Wow, haha… all of a sudden, $8 million seems like nothing.
Good article man. :coolclick:
:coolclick: good read.
Now where’s my boy The Game at?!?!?!
As I said before ‘Guilty until proven innocent’ I was expecting something like this to come out, $23m seems an awful lot for one nights work, I don’t know if the fight would be as big as that, then again I’m not american so I don’t know. All I know is that over here in the UK, Hatton vs Mayweather would sell BIG. Hatton is our only PPV fighter since naz quit, and I imagine Hatton vs Mayweather could generate $30m in the uk alone from PPV buys.
No need to worry Wack,I’m here and yes,like I said,the Oscar fight is much better financially,but which true fan wants to see an aging Oscar fight PBF? Also,the $55mill is just a rumoured price but I can see where Floyd is coming from. $23mill for one night’s work,any idiot can see that’s amazing!My point is if the Oscar fight does not come off,he has no excuse not to fight Tony!
I’d rather see him fight Hatton than Tony. I honestly think that Hatton vs Mayweather would be the more explosive fight! :bananasex:
I bet Oscar doesn’t fight PBF. “All your hopes go poof”.
I agree with you man. I really think once Oscar gets by Mayorga he’s gonna wanna lure Tito out of retirement so he can fight him for his farewell fight.
I agree. But Oscar did do this against JCC so he may deserve it.
Hatton is not yet ready,you won’t find any promoter in the states willing to put the amout of money arum was willing to put ito Tony PBF on Hatton,not yet anyway.
What did Oscar do with Chavez?
All I know is that over here in the UK, Hatton vs Mayweather would sell BIG. Hatton is our only PPV fighter since naz quit, and I imagine Hatton vs Mayweather could generate $30m in the uk alone from PPV buys.
I’m sure the fight would be big, but I really don’t think Hatton is capable of drawing 2 million ppv buys just in this country. It’s not like Mayweathers some huge name to the average guy who could draw astrononical numbers.
Nope, Floyd plays it safe with his fighting style, and what you just said is the end result of that. As good as Floyd is, unlike Ali/Roy Jones/SRL he’s not bigger than the sport…
And for the last time he’s not pretty
borderline repulsive on the facial features actually 
Exactly when was Roy Jones seen as being bigger than the sport ???
If he dosn’t fight him, the Margarito will still be there.
Proof? Ask any person walking down the street who Floyd Mayweather is, you’ll get alot of Floyd Whos?
Ask them about Ali/SRL/Roy Jones and you won’t get a Roy Who :). Same goes for Tyson, Foreman, Oscar.
People who have no idea what boxing is about can tell ya who they are, because they aren’t just boxers, they’re superstars. Of course Floyd’s personality is a little too dry to be big outside the sport which isn’t his fault (trying to qoute Ali and sounding like a pre-schooler doesn’t help that either). Just calling it how I see it 
i always said, PBF deserves the big bucks like 23million pay day with Oscar first. then he can clean up the rest. give him his big mother pay day then he’ll take care of the hattons, margaritos, cottos, etc.
Dude, I don’t know what third world country you’re living in but here in the States, everyone knows Floyd Mayweather. If you say Floyd Mayweather, even people who don’t watch boxing know he’s a boxer. He is not a mega box office ppv draw, but neither was Roy. And I find it hilarious that you mention Roy in the same breath as Ali and Leonard as if he’s even on the same planet of box office appeal as either of them. Roy had to go and fight a heavyweight in order to get over 500,000 ppv buys, whereas Oscar on average draws way higher than that. Sorry to be the one to break it to you but the biggest drawing fighters in history can be counted on one hand and neither Roy nor Floyd are among them.
That Floyd is one smart mofo.
its pretty close to the amount of euroz or pounds or roubles or whatever the F*** is used for currency in europe these days, the $ is a little less so maybee at that point like 2 million less then euromoney
