It only cost $.96 to build, of course it is. j/k That is a 3rd world country though compared to the U.S. Either way, he shouldn't have turned down 40 mil. Floyd would also have a much bigger house if he didn't blow his money on silly stuff.

You realize that $40 million flat fee was for Golden boy/Floyd to promote the fight right, cutting out Top Rank while pacquiao had a contract with top rank, right? He legally couldn't accept such a bullshit offer. Further, the richest fight in History pacquiao would get ZERO percent of the PPV, meaning Floyd gets it all so he gets $80-$100 million and Pac $40? Yeah thats fair.
I think the fact that they were flat out offering $40 million says a lot about what was on the table. Yes, I agree it was a stupid offer and couldn't be done because of Top Rank, but ultimately I think that could've been hashed out too. At the end of the day, Pac went on to make less and get knocked out. Canelo steps in and is in what may be the richest fight in history and is projected to get like $10.5 mil guaranteed. Floyd should get the lion's share but if either guy was that serious about making the fight, it would've been done.
What are you talking about it could have been handled? Pac was legally under contract with Top Rank, you think Bob Arum would say Sure Pacquiao, let my rival promote you for the richest fight in history I'll sit this one out! It was a bunk offer. Floyd isn't stupid he knew that wouldn't work. Thats never how boxing works, ever. If he was serious he would have tried to have GB and TR negotiate, not try to cut out Arum which would have got Pac sued to his eyeballs.
but that's the downside of Floyd promoting himself and having GB do the work cuz they see too much money that some fighters and people look at it as getting ripped off, especially with someone of the magnitude of Manny. Money is a pressure point, and that's why Floyd took this fight, cuz he wasn't making money for Shosports. Have Floyd fight any other boxer would he get a milli buys? 2 straight ppv's and not being #1 in ppv's before a Manny fight? floyd and Sho would look stupid homie
I think Canelo has a good shot in pulling off the upset. If he hurts Floyd he may finish him off... Cotto had Floyd hurt somewhat.
If Canelo does win, can't hate on the dude. He's carrying himself with a lot of class and is coming to win! He accepted the fight, the purse, drug testing, etc... if anyone deserves to beat Floyd and take the torch it should be Canelo.
Props to Floyd for taking the toughest fights out there and fighting fighters that are coming off of wins.... at least he doesn't purposely fight fighters that have big names and losses.
I'm still taking Floyd in this fight by close UD.

Mayweather is 36 years old fighting a prime 22 yr old that comes in on fight night between 165-170lb. Mayweather could get his head knocked off. Thats why this fight is so good. Old master vs. A young hungry lion.
