RE: Things not thread worthy

Showtime is paying Floyd a huge guarantee and they need Floyd to pull big numbers in order to just break even. If and I say if, stories are to be believed they have already taken a bath on at least 2 of the fights in Floyd's current contract. Although not in his league PPV-wise can Floyd/Showtime afford to go up against the combined numbers of Canelo and Cotto? Particularly if he doesn't have a significant dance partner? Ordinarily Floyd going on the same date against anyone else is a no-brainer. The other guy has to step aside and change dates but through in the factors mentioned above plus the determination of De la Hoya, Arum and I suspect HBO (who would no doubt enjoy giving Floyd the big middle finger) it is not as straightforward as simply saying Floyd is the number draw card in boxing and leaving it there. “Shakespeare? I ain’t never hoid of him. He’s not in no ratings. I suppose he’s one of them foreign heavyweights. They’re all lousy. Sure as hell I’ll moider dat bum.”—Tony Galento |
