Why the 180? Because it'll be too much of a rehash for his 50th? Or to build animosity so people pay to see the rematch? The guardian has an article a day about these too boxers and I didn't see anything about Pac really complaining too much about his shoulder.

bernstein says there's a new arena opening in las vegas next year that floyd wants to fight in. he is probably playing hardball so he can get an 80-20 split or something

one thing that could stop the rematch is Floyd doesn't really have to negotiate this time. Why would he give Manny & Arum another 60/40 split? He could say here's 50 million take it or leave it.

Over the last year the ratio of people unironically claiming boxing is dead to insecure boxing fans angrily shouting about boxing not being dead has been roughly 1:500

After 5.5+ million PPVs I don't blame the world for being a little burnt out on boxing for a while, though. That number is disgusting.

So, yeah. If the fight did that much business for a fight that boxing fans were happy with but the rest of the world thought was a dud, eh, I'm okay with boxing being dead/dying/dormant/whatever the gently caress for a couple of years.

In 2010 the census registered 3.2 million Filipinos in the US. Even accounting for growth in those numbers I'm pretty confident that every Filipino in the country watched Manny Pacquiao get embarrassed.

Can we talk about betting here? Put a bit on Burns to win cuz Fingerora didn't make weight. Got enough on Canelo to cover me if Burns doesn't win. Here's to a fun day of boxing!

Dana White has a whole host of other problems now with the UFC. Not to mention they don't have any global stars like boxing does. Though McGregor is starting to look like he might be that guy if he beats Aldo.

so what's Floyd's take from that? that's an insane number e: good lord quote:GOING into last weekend’s “Fight of the Century” against Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather was expected to earn more in one bout than any athlete ever had in a whole year.

Mauro's play by play is so much better than Kevin Harlan or Marv Albert. I know they want big names on commentary to draw in channel surfers but having actually quality play by play by veterans of combat sports seems really important for keeping audiences

Thank you Mauro and Virgil. get this no necked nepotism case out of the sport. Seriously, if his dad wasn't the former Texas State commissoner this dingus wouldn't even be reffing toughman fights at the strip club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhfGx7vk12Q
