    It should be 50/50. Whoever has a problem with that should be blamed.

    As of right now I voted for Arum.

      Am i missing something here, Has Mayweather cancel his fight with JMM and he's looking for a new opponent or did Arum/HBO offer Mayweather the pacquiao fight for November and he said NO???

        But dont u think if Floyd would've spoken out on a possible matchup with Pac, and showed interest, we would be seeing that instead? All he's done thus far is make excuses and discredit Pac.

          Blame Arum, yet he's the one who offered the 50/50 to Floyd?

            His excuse for Pac is, "he's been outboxed by Eric Morales"

            Talk about lame!

            So he didnt say that about Pacquiao then??? Because i was getting confused there i thought this was 2006...

            So was he offered the fight when he said Pac was outbox by Morales or was he trying to say he would outbox/beat Pacquiao???

              Because he has a fight in front of him, How is that too difficult to understand?? You want him to show interest?? Didnt he say after JMM then pacquiao can have it too because both of them are too small for him??

                We've all read about how Pacman is interested in a fight with Floyd. He himself even went on the record to say so ("After Floyd Mayweather, my job is done") . His trainer Freddie Roach has went on the record, and even Bob Arum made a statement of how he will lower his demand to a 50/50 purse split in order to make the fight easier to make.

                Floyd on the other hand has used Pac's losses from 1996, 1999, and his decision loss to Eric Morales in 2005 (in which Pac came back and totally demolished Morales in thier next 2 matches) as an excuse to try and discredit Pac. He blatenly ducked and dodged the question during his interview with Brian Kenny by replying with "Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe are my advisors, and have done one hell of a job with Floyd Mayweather's career" after Kenny Asked him why not face the winner of Pacman/Marquez.

                Everytime Floyd is asked about a fight with Pac by reporters, fans, etc... His reply is always "Pac has been KO'd twice before and got outboxed by Eric Morales"

                So who do u think would be more responsible for this fight not coming off if its never made? Vote.
                Sugar Ray Leonard came back after a lengthy retirement and fought the Middleweight champ of the World. Floyd has always had the opportunity to fight the top guys, he and his team chose to take the money without the risk. It'll be the story of his career (if it already isn't).

                  Why make an offer when someone has a fight scheduled...if Floyd said no I bet he reconsiders...

                    He seems jealous of all the praise Pac is getting, and continuously tries to discredit him any time he's presented with the question about if/when he's gonna fight Pac.

                    "Oh, he's been knocked out 2x"

                    "He's been outboxed by Eric Morales"

                    What does that have to do in regards to the question....Will U fight Manny Pacquiao?

                      lol, he knows exactly what was said about who. Hes trying to play dumb at this point. Just like a Floyd stan would, they emulate their hero.
