the same can be said about PBF. "people want to see me and zab fight". Yea, you mean fights that you hand pick to win? he could have fought margarito for 8 million but fought zab for 5.

and in those times realistically who didn't want oscar to fight tito, that fight was bigger than a rematch with quartey.
Agree with everything. I'm pissed at Floyd for not fighting Tony. But, I'm equally pissed at Oscar for telling Floyd they were going to fight. Oscar flashing money to a guy like Floyd is like taking a kid to a candy store. 8 million is great, but we both know Oscar told Floyd more. Plus, it wouldn't suprise me if Oscar just wants to recruit Floyd. Especially with the fued between Oscar and Arum. Floyd was only going to get 8 million AFTER the Zab fight. The numbers before would have been equall to the Zab fight, but the Zab fight would have brought a higher percentage of PPV buys.
