I mentioned a couple weeks ago boo boo was pulling out. Winky Wright syndrome already. First pulled out of the Korobov fight, now this.
Well I heard he was unhappy with the $250,000 (which is a bit ridiculous tbh) and then I heard they offered him $300,000.

I guess it would depend how much Charlo was making. It's not like Charlo is bringing in the fans and I could see not wanting to fight a challenger to your title who's probably equally as unpopular as you for substantially less money than him.

seems like a pretty stupid reason to pull out. now he has no payday.

It really passes me off when guys like this, who really haven't accomplished shit yet, start acting all self entitled. I get why the Cotto's, Mayweather's and Pacquiao's do it, but Andrade? Barely anyone knows who he is

Im not protecting shit just stating the obvious.

"Co-brand"? Isn't that exactly what a just said (joint PPV).
Yes, so why mention it and then ask Tony "How's he going to fight on Showtime while he's under contract with HBO?" And then you talk about someones contract expiring but Manny's expired not too long ago and what did he do? Signed with Arum. And Floyd wasn't even talking that "sign with TMT" shit so save it.

This nigga Manny on some other shit. Floyd was on some other shit too at first but the majority of this is Manny's fault. Stop protecting him bro.

(Also, nah you didn't delete my post. I posted it in another thread and forgot about it. Good lookin.)

Because Tony wasn't even responding to what I just said (that obviously Pac is under contract with HBO and the only way it would work is a joint venture). I'm not even talking about anything else, played out subject, only point is quite obviously Pacquiao can't fight on Showtime and HBO "steps aside".
This fight is not gonna happen. The fights people want to see are GGG vs Canelo/Cotto winner and Kovalev vs Stevenson. Floyd and Pac is a pipe dream.

The Lewis/Tyson legendary nights was interesting to see what they went through just to get the fight made. But Haymon wasn't involved with that one. Pacquiao has a terrible business acumen and Floyd hasn't shown enough willingness to fight Pacquiao in the past for me. I'm surprised there's not a vegas bet for whether or not the fight ever gets made. I'd bet on it not being made.

Arum Eyes Mayweather-Pacquiao in Cowboys Stadium - Boxing News

So HBO is speaking to someone higher than Espinoza to get this fight done? Naw, I don't believe it. It's really all up to Floyd.
If this part is true:

According to Arum,*CBS Corporation president and CEO Leslie Moonves is brokering the deal. CBS is the parent company of Showtime, which has a six-fight deal with Mayweather.*Pacquiao is*under contract to*HBO, and returns to action this Saturday night in Macau in a title defense against Chris Algieri.


Then that's what needs to happen. The problem battle is the part where it says "According to Bob Arum". We just can't take anything the man says seriously.

Also, Floyd might not want to fight in Dallas.
Why would he? Just becuase it seats more? If he was concerned about gate money he would fight Khan at a soccer stadium in the UK.
All they have to do is fight in Vegas and raise the ticket price, would equal the same thing as the Cowboys stadium. I'm sure the gate money would shatter the previous record.

I honestly think the fight is gonna happen. HBO will be willing to take the lesser money as long as they can do 24/7's ,cuz All Access is scripted, and have a banner up of some sorts. If HBO could get some money, they do a rematch, along with Canelo and Cotto fight on ppv, then GGG getting PPV, they win no matter what. That's why I say it's really up to Floyd. This fight will get 3 mill buys
