HE EVEN KNOWS THIS, HENCE HE'S NOW REACHING AND BEGGING FOR THE FIGHT. Who else can he fight? Cotto again? I would love to see the pay per view numbers on that.
at the end of the day its a business, its not a fan ran sport. Its about money. The match makers promoters, lawyers etc all know this (HOW DO YOU TIHNK THEY GET PAID). The fans dont seem to grasp this. Jordan was a helluva player, yet he wouldnt play for free, or for a low paycheck, neither would koby or anyone else. This isnt the 40-50's you see the money they were making then was equivalent to what floyd them are making today counting in or factoring things were much cheaper. I am only 29 years old, and I remember can sodas being 25 cents. I also remember bottle sodas being 50-75, now they are a $1.32 . I remember Ali stating that the money he made from fighting could buy 4-5 bombers for the military. Well that equation is the same today. Goods cost more so it seems as if they are making more money.
I want to see the fight, but I am realistic enough to understand how the game works, its all about money, and thats why manny wanted 50/50. Its about money and plenty of it.
Ignoring these fact will not make the fight happen.
When you hear floyd fans saying that floyd outsells manny in his fights, you guys sometimes think its because we care about how much money floyd makes, no the reason I and others bring this up is because this is one of the main factors on a contract for a fight going through. MONEY. WHO CAN PUT FANS IN THE STANDS.
FLOYD DOES IT, HE SMACK TALKS TO HAVE THE ONE UP IN NEGOTIATIONS.
