And in 2012, knowing that he was about to go to jail and possibly leave HBO, he made one last ditch offer to Pacquiao. He called him personally. That tells me a lot. Many people say the $40m offer was unfair but I really don't think so. I think Manny still asking for 50-50 (based on what? You must not want the fight) and then hanging up was unfair. But that's another debate.
Anyway, those aren't the actions of a man who wouldn't entertain the idea. In fact, I'd say it's Pacquiao whose actions are of a man who won't entertain the idea. And it's no wonder that after all this, Mayweather wants his company to promote it and the network of his choosing. He's proven his point time and time again. I think people should stop looking at him and start asking themselves...when will Manny Pacquiao, a man who has turned down every offer that's come his way, stop negotiating through the media and get serious? We're tired of the smoke and mirrors over here.
