Sh*t if I was him I'd also be wondering how B-HOp, Glen Johnson, and Antonio Tarver are still going strong.

I don't know which "guy" you're referring to. But to spell it out as of today Canelo is worth more than Paul Williams. You're right Canelo deserved every decision he's won so far. But in the event that THIS fight goes the distance, they won't be showing favoritism towards Paul Williams. There is too much money at stake for Golden Boy.

There's got to be other ways he can make money. Biggest fighter of a generation. I know it's hard to accept when your time has passed, but there's no way his pride still gets the best of him after all these guys around the world are KOing him right?

They all have good chins. Roy discovered how strong his chin was back in 04

If this gets made, that makes a hell of a card.

Victor (Chicago, IL)


Alvarez-Williams and Gonzales-De Leon all set for Sept. 15 th., but heard if Soto beats Matthysse, Soto-Maidana will be added to that card. Too good to be true.

Dan Rafael (3:30 PM)


It's possible.

How would Ariza know? I doubt he even knows exactly how much his own fighters make.

But why would Ariza say that out of the blue?
He is in the industry and we are not.

Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't.

Whatever is going on between him, the Roach camp, and Bob Arum. He obviously said that to instigate something.
 
Went to FNF

It was pretty good. They shouldn't have aired that heavyweight bout.

Fight was boring besides the dancing Vince Thompson was doing before each round.

Ariza and Ben at FightHype have a good relationship so I def. wouldnt doubt him being able to get that number from Floyd

How awful is it that Neither Showtime or HBO would ante up to show Bute/Froch

%+*$%%# Awful

Boxing deserves everything it gets when it comes to public perception that it is a dying sport. the two main fight networks wouldnt show this, but stay in bed with Sorry +#* fighters and promoters.
 
@Gunna hit the nail right on the head. How this fight didn't get picked up by HBO and Showtime is inexcusable.

85 million for Floyd? Damn. Manny better split from Arum (nearly impossible since Floyd left) and make it happen.
 
Their reasons are really crappy. Supposedly Showtime didn't wanna air anything but Ward for Bute and HBO didn't want Bute and Froch to earn any fan following on HBO just to see them go to Showtime since they have most of the top SMW's on contracts.
 
HBO's done good rating before for the HW fights overseas, I don't think it would have been a real problem.
 
I actually think Sugar Ray Leonard is a good commentator.

And he was decent when he commentating back in the 80's as well.
