Get your money man! Good for Floyd. He's 33 and these paydays won't be there soon.
So I guess he's ditching Ellerbe and GBP?
Apparently mate yeah. I assume Don King has persuaded him that he is a better boxer than he is promotor, rapper etc and that it's where he is going to make all of his money. It's some deal for Floyd to be honest, would've been silly to turn that down.Quote:

I'm no expert on prizefighting, but I think Floyd would make ~$50 million vs Pac. Why is he worried about getting to 100 million?
Finally the two biggest buffoons in boxing have teamed up. Now if we thought Ellerbe was an annoying shit, we have Don King. The man who shamelessly ripped of dozens of boxers throughout the years. Wait a minute, why should I be mad!??
I hope he does Floyd like he did so many other fighters in history. And I also this this topic has little credibility. Floyd will not fight 4 more times, even in the next 5 years.
Hey, don't shoot the messenger. :eek: I agree he won't fight four more times. I'd bet he only has two more fights left in his career.Quote:

He'll still get extras per each fight I expect
Joe King on ESPN says he has it on very good authourity that one of the fights is definitely against Matthew Hatton at Altrincham Leisure Centre, and if Mayweather wins, he'll rematch Ricky Hatton at Wembley.
You heard it here last.
Great news if true. ;DQuote:

People must have way more invested in these fights than i'm aware of. If the fight happens and pac wins do pac fans get a part of the purse or something ?? Does he send out free t shirts, or thank you cards ? Who gives a crap who sign who and does what. Just show us good fights. What difference does it make if some three legged llama from turkey get's the fight made, as fans we just watch. floyd fights people cry...floyd doesn't people cry. He's with gbp people don't like that, sign with king etc......Who cares if king is this or that if he gets the fight made. What difference does it make to any fan. People have no problem with margarito cheating and getting a title shot yet don king is shady ??? Joe T from friday night fights says it best. It's really sad that people even know every little inch of what happens behind the scenes of this garbage but don't know the names of up and coming prospects.
Have you quite finished? ;DQuote:

Yet I have to say I agree with most of it :D
Hatton's improved a lot and he is naturally the bigger guy. Plus home town advantage with it being in Altrincham. :cool:Quote:

Floyd has been seen flirting a lot with King lately, doesn't automatically mean that they teamed up but one thing for sure, no matter what the money is (or almost), I would never trust King on any level of any departments and wouldn't sign with him no matter what. Hopefully Floyd is smarter than what I anticipate and took (or will) if the rumor is true tons of precautions.
I believe it. Joe King wouldn't take the piss. He knows his stuff.Quote:

Wouldn't just yet rule out The Castle Leisure Centre in Bury Scott Quigg does 1200 tickets there another option to Altrincham.Quote:

I believe that's the back up venue. They were looking at Doncaster Dome, but that's just a pipe dream imo.Quote:
