i dont have to practice perfect spelling... it just so happens i got an education, and when i type.. the words come out in order... and all of the words that should be in the sentence, are just there.

Dude you are nitpicking, get over it.
Nobody is perfect.

You just tryed to correct me, but in the process you should of corrected your own sentence.

Here is an example of nitpicking. What you do to me all the time.
You say you got an education, but in your sentence you have all kinds of grammar errors, and sentence structure errors.

i
(The "I" should be capitalize)

dont(you didn't put the apostrophe after the n in don't)

have to practice perfect spelling...(No need for the 3 periods, 1 period would word just fine)

it just so happens "i"(The "I" should be capitalize)

got an education, and when "i"
(The "I" should be capitalize)

type..
(No need for the 2 periods, 1 period would word just fine)

the words come out in order...
(No need for the 3 periods, 1 period would word just fine)


and
(Suppose to capitalize after the end of a sentence, and you should not start a sentence with and)

all of the words that should be in the sentence, are just there.


What Happen to your education REED?

Are you talking about the aftermath of the Baldomir fight, or the fight itself? For the fight itself, he made slightly more than $8 million, though he had to pay Arum I think $750,000 to buy out his contract from Top Rank.

But had he stayed with Top Rank and fought Margarito, chances are he wouldn't have landed Oscar for his very next fight, since Arum and Schaefer didn't kiss and make up until later that summer. That's why I asked if you meant the aftermath, because going the route he did certainly paid off financially in the long-term.

I agree though, very good interview. I've always like R.A., but haven't really heard him or kept up since I left LI six years ago.

Floyd had already bought out of the contract by the time he fought Baldo in November.

No, sir. Not the aftermath. The fight itself.


Remember, Margarito had no fanbase. None whatsoever. Earlier that year, Tony fought to an empty room at the Aladdin (a SMALL room) and his PPV had 30K buys.

Floyd hired GTP as a free agent promoter. Dan did an OK, not great, job. Because it was Baldo, and because FMJ didn't have to deal with Arum, he got a very favourable split on the revenues.

The fight did 10,000 in attendance, and about 330K PPV buys ($17 million).

The undercard was cheap, and Floyd walked away with a big payday. Zero for Arum.

...the most important part was that "Pretty Risky" didn't derail "The World Awaits".

Why doesn't floyd just fight Mosley followed by the Pac-Cotto winner? That way he would shut us all up and get our respect.

didn't you hear was floyd said about hopkins? he said hopkins shouldn't have fought calzaghe. that means floyd will duck tough fights. he will never fight mosley.

Bat,

With all due respect to you, that is a low priority for him.

Floyd wants the big money fights. And his history shows that he will Pareto the opponents based on their commercial appeal and based on his potential payday.

"I fight for checks. I don't fight for bragging rights."

If you asked FMJ if he would rather have

A) Shane's rep /Shane's paydays

or

B) Floyd's rep/Floyd's paydays

...he would choose "B" 100 times out of 100.

Why didnt Shane fight Floyd all the times Floyd tried to fight him.

When Floyd returned there was supposed to be a hit-list. And the return was not about money. It was about legacy. Stop all the excuses please. It's pathetic.
