Like Bud completely disregarding EVERYTHING that comes with the fight with Spence.
Spence got contracts with Showtime PPV.
MOTHER FUCKING SHOWTIME!!!
1. OUTSIDE of the actual fight money, we KNOW showtime gonna drop an Emmy quality docu-series highlighting both guys in the biggest fight of the year. That's extra money in your fucking pocket bud. That's more high level exposure Bud. You doing ig live....we talking interviews building the fight up on showtime
2. Where the fuck these mysterious investors putting the fight at? What ppv service they using? What platforms they using to promote the fight? What's their cut on those things? Bud so worried about up front money, he completely neglected all the money that come afterwards.
3. Bob was right. In the ring he a beast. Outside the ring, Bud don't understand good business. I don't even think he scared to fight the man.. He just ain't got the mind for making a fight like this. And he clearly got bad people around him.
Got some more info on the bold? First time seeing this.
Honestly I don't got the energy to Google the articles...
But Floyd and Manny were trying forever to get the fight going. But it was Bob blocking it, cuz he wanted solo promotion rights.... Or at the least a crazy buy out.... But he never said it... It's evident by what it took to make the fight. It's very close to this... But it's was much more official.
Where Bud saying he got investors....
Floyd and Haymon actually got Showtime and HBO to guarantee the up front purses and co-promote t fight.
HBO agreed to take care of Bob.
But before that happened, Floyd offered Manny like 300m of his own money. 150 up front, 150 at the end too do the fight and let Floyd 100% promote the fight.
Manny was still under contract from Bob, but legally Bob could only sue him for his remaining contract amount.... Which was no where near 300m. In fact Manny would have made more if he took Floyd route... But when Bob caught wind he convinced Manny that the deal was bullshit.
You gotta understand this was pieced together thru like 10-12 articles over mad years....
My whole introduction to online forums like this was through doing our own investigative research on boxing and discussing these articles. That Floyd/Bob beef was CRAZY
