Cmon Floyd, you're asking for this fight. don't let boxing down

50-50 is fair. Pac done better work and holds a title. Mr boat buyer is the bigger draw. Both bring sumthin. That should be enuf for cool heads to prevail, but I still think it won't happen. Mr boat buyer will want more and Pac will fight SSM instead. That's disappointin as hell, but ultimately acceptable as long as Mr boat buyer still fights the winner. If he ain't fight either guy it'd be a damn shame. This fight is gr8 for boxing fans. completely wrong. mayweather vs mosley is next. why would golden boy make a top rank vs golden boy fight instead of a gb vs gb fight?

I agree TS......Floyd if you on here lurkin'(I think you do sometimes) and tryin' to feel out what the fans are sayin'......listen, you HAVE to make this fight happen my man!!....its a MUST for ALL boxing fans.....then my dude Shane can KTFO the winner!!....ok?!?....my man!!!:luvbed:....no homo!!

50/50 isn't a concession... it's fair

There is just too much money to be made for either fighter to pass on it.

It is tradition that the one doing the calling out makes the concessions to make the fight happen. For the past 2 weeks, Floyd has been clamoring for this fight to happen. Just like Hatton went up from 140 to 147 LBS and the smaller purse to fight Floyd because he called Floyd out, just like Marquez went up from 135 to 144 and the smaller purse to fight Mayweather (regardless of the fact that Floyd declined to go down to 144 at the last minute) because he called him out, Floyd should should make the concessions to make this fight happen. I'm sure fans of him don't have a problem with this as this has been a normal negotiation method utilized by Floyd and defended by his followers. Your views are unrealistic. It takes two to make a fight and both fighters bring something to the table. You can't blame Mayweather for not going along with Arum or Roach implementing ridiculous catch weights and other stipulations. They both are going to have to compromise to make it happen. Those past fights you listed are irrelevant when it comes to this fight.

Jeez give it some time... They need a venue....weight..its alot more that needs to be done..they both said they want the fight..now its time to work out the contract. If its not 50/50 this fight will not happen..and if its not at 147 this fight will not happen. wow, this is one of the rare post you make that make sense

Winner should take the bigger purse!

Pacquiao is no angel Those Hatton Negotiations weren't smooth I also forgot about the pathetic catchweight business 50/50 @ 147 is the best solution

The fight's definitely gonna happen. This media negotiation is the tip of the iceburg compared to everything going on behind the scenes. Mayweather is still a boxer and not a promoter or accountant at the end of the day, same with Pacquiao (or should I say Roach) - they're just giving it all the bravado, trying to angle an advantage while all the real number crushing is happening without their involvement. I'm fairly certain the final purse split will favour Mayweather for what it's worth; it makes no sense for Pacquiao to earn more in this one.

This fight has to happen.. 50-50 split and winner should get more money.. But you know how Floyd is.. Always wanting the bigger purse. Pacquiao is no angel Those Hatton Negotiations weren't smooth
