    Lightbulb Re: Floyd supposedly agreed a $100m, 4 fight deal with Don King

    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.
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I agree he won't fight four more times. I'd bet he only has two more fights left in his career.

    The 100m is probably just to promote the fights.

    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.

    This is still not signed it was just a talk they had....What it comes down to is Don has to be able to produce the Pacquiao fight for Floyd to actually sign the deal with him....Don is no fool he sees what money is being thrown away by the fight not being signed and he will be the bug in the ear of both to stop the nonsense...He also knows he will make 3X that of what Floyd will IF he can get him signed

    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.

    Matthew Hatton in Altringham!

    The best fighter on the planet, future HOF gives up the glamour of Vegas to come to Altringham!

    Stops fighting legends like JMM and Mosley to fight another Hatton!

    There's more chance he'll fight Pacman this year with no drugs testing!

    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.

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