Bwaha. Floyd's making 80 mil a fight while PAC makes around 6-10 mil. Haha. Funny roach now zip it

For once Roach was on point. And even he said "I really hope Bob makes the fight happen for us."

There you go, even Roach says it's on that dusty ass fossil to make it happen.

He's on point, but it goes both ways. I'm not sure what the ppv projections look like for Manny-Rios so I'll leave that be. It may do worse than May-Guerrero so if both these guys want that unheard of type money, then they both need each other.

I'm not eager for it. There's just too much bad blood, and too many bridges burned so I won't hold my breath.
