While I agree with the latter, I disagree with the former. Mayweather-Alvarez has no chance of beating De La Hoya-Mayweather as the biggest PPV fight in history. Alvarez doesn't have THAT big of a following, and the fact that HD PPV boxing fight prices (I hear that this one is supposed to be $75) isn't helping.
--- Quote from: whoisthis on August 29, 2013, 07:34:40 PM ---The problem then was Golden Boy being upset with Manny that they were no longer able to get a cut of his fights, as Top Rank was his outright promoter (they used to split Manny). After that, the pissing match between Arum and De La Hoya started. Small time fights were being made and so on. So, the promoters screwed that up then. Now, Floyd is pissing all over the fight even though Manny is offering him a fair deal. Floyd will never accept someones offer, he feels he's lost then. The deal HAS to be in his favor and has to be his idea. So, it'll probably never happen.

Top Rank and Golden Boy didn't exactly "used to split Manny." It was just some legal agreement that came about since Golden Boy was going to sign Manny (and he had accepted a cash bonus), though Top Rank convinced Manny to sign with them instead, and he returned the bonus to Golden Boy, who argued in court that Manny's original acceptance of the bonus enacted the contract. The court ruled that Manny was with Top Rank and not Golden Boy, but Golden Boy would get a small cut of what Manny's fights grossed for a certain length of time. During that time, Top Rank and Golden Boy tried to play nice with each other and set up fights together (i.e. Pacquiao-Marquez II, De La Hoya-Pacquiao, Mosley-Margarito, Pacquiao-Hatton). De La De La Hoya-Cotto was planned, but it got canned when Cotto lost to Margarito. After that, he was considering fighting either Hatton or Pacquiao. (A lot of people who discredit Pacquiao's victory over Oscar by saying that Oscar had to drop down to 147 for him don't realize that he was planning to go down to welterweight anyway, against Cotto.).
I agree though about the Floyd shit. But when he's undefeated and the biggest draw, it's kind of hard to convince him to let someone else dictate the terms. But it's still fucked up when he goes back on his word and puts up new roadblocks. But again, he's in a position to fuck with people like that.
Though he needs to stop with the punk ass fights against lame opponents (i.e. Ortiz and Guerrero). But I don't doubt that Golden Boy is hoping to set up Mayweather-Khan at some point.

UFC is very entertaining, if all you can think of is "mandingo cock fighting" your heads in the wrong place bro. And to each his own but MMA is lightyears ahead of boxing in terms of entertainment.

It's run more efficiently because egos don't get in the way they do in boxing, especially with there not being the huge issue of promoters butting heads, or fighters not wanting to fight other fighters for whatever reason.
