Bob Arum Reveals 50/50 Contract Sent By Mayweather for Pacquiao Fight

[travestyny]

The mediator said BOTH sides were being untruthful. We don't agree, because Manny never agreed to all terms of the contract, which you insist Iole saw this 8-page contract (did he actually have access to read each page? not likely!), and that Manny initially agreed to everything and then refused to sign. That doesn't make sense.

Uh no, that is NOT what the mediator said. I think you need to go back and read that again


The contract was for 50/50, you agree. Right? The offer from Mayweather was a 14 day cutt-off, and you agree with that, right?


Hence, pacquaio declined 50/50 and 14 day cut-off, right? It's not rocket science. I think we agree. So thanks. We can end this convo. now.

[I]Judge Daniel Weinstein today issued an order to correct the false record that has been created by the recent statements from Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao's representatives concerning what occurred at the mediation. The full text of the Judge's statement is as follows:

Actually, you did include it in your post. Now we know why the mediator spoke out. LMAO. Thanks.

This isn't what you have been squawking about for years now. Your original contention was that Iole saw a contract that everyone had agreed to, and it was for a 50/50 split of the purse. Yet, everyone had not agreed to it. You accuse Manny of ducking that fight but he had never agreed to Floyd's terms, and Floyd didn't agree to Manny's terms. In the end, an agreement couldn't be reached. But you want to place all the blame on Manny. That's where you are wrong.

Ahem.

"We have a contract that they sent us and all the terms have been agreed to," Arum said. "All this that's been going on – 'Bob Arum doesn't want it,' and 'I'm entitled to this and that,' is all [expletive]. All [expletive]. This is their lawyer who prepared this, sent copies to everyone. … This isn't something I wrote and passed out. Their lawyer did this and sent it to us."

So we agree that Manny rejected 50/50 and 14 day cutoff, right?

[GhostofDempsey]

Ahem.




So we agree that Manny rejected 50/50 and 14 day cutoff, right?

We agree that Floyd rejected a 50/50 offer and a 24 day cutoff right?

Floyd was the one who made the 50/50 offer. He did reject the 24 day cuttoff. Which came after Manny rejected the 14 day cut-off. Right?


See, now we are getting somewhere. Floyd rejected Manny's counteroffer after he turned down a 14 day cut-off.


Good reason for rejecting 24 days as well.

Dr. Don H. Catlin, the head of the Los Angeles-based non-profit Anti-Doping Research, Inc., said a 24-day cutoff for blood testing is not sufficient to prevent abuse. One of the concerns with such a long blood-testing cutoff prior to the date of competition would be the potential use of Erythropoietin, or EPO.

But Catlin said that wouldn't be the only concern if there were a 24-day cutoff imposed.

"If you have a 24-day window that's free, with no testing, you can take whatever you want and you're not going to get caught, end of story," Catlin said. "[Urine testing] does matter, yes, but they're not going to catch everything by urine testing alone. What you would do is to take Mircera [a type of EPO], which is available and which is not easy to detect in urine and away you go. You need a blood test."

So once again, Pacquiao rejected 50/50 and a 14 day cut-off, right?

Absolutely. As he should have according to the expert.


We agree that Manny rejected 50/50 and 14 day cutoff, right, and wound up accepting 40/60 and 0 day cut-off in the end, right?

Glad we agree that Floyd backed out and then "marinated" the fight for 5+ years because he was "smart". Thanks for playing!

Couldn't bring yourself to answer that question, huh
