Floyd Jr: "If Manny Wants it, I'll Pay Juan To Step Aside"

[rob6465]

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee....you thought cotto vs pacman negotiations were bad/annoying? It's only about weight. Pacman vs floyd would be about money and weight. You REALLY think pacman would accept anything less than 65% and floyd anything less than 65%? Especially with arum promoting pacman? You'll see cotto vs floyd before you'll see pacman vs floyd, even if cotto loses to pacman.

[Pullcounter]

i hope floyd just makes it 50-50, cause fighting pac after he loses to cotto won't be as lucrative.

[Boricua78]

He'll pay Marquez some step aside money and we can call pbf and pac's fight ( The Battle of the Bitches).

[miamijohn]

Floyd is talking out his ass again...AGAIN! Its ignorant to make an offer that you know nobody is going to go for. To keep trying makes him look like a ******!
Also the direction goes both ways Floyd! You want some....Put up or shut up! Fight the man on any terms. Its all free easy money ...right? This is a handler to handler situation anyway. Arum says what Manny does. Manny can except or not...Arums Offer not Floyds! IMO fight will never happen. As a fan id rather see Floyd /Mosley or Pacquiao /JMM

Ranking the 50 highest-earning athletes in the U.S.

Five years ago, Sports Illustrated first set out to find the 50 top-earning American athletes (taking into account on- and off-the-field income). We discovered a few basic facts, and as the Fortunate 50 turns five, some things have remained dead-on consistent:

Anything else

I see a whole lot of pwnage with this one right here.

[Deja_Vous]

i actually wan to see JMM get a shot first,
belive it or not i think JMM has a better
chance at beating or testing floyd more
then pacquaio.

Uh oh...you just pissed off Fanny Pac's gay army.

[DuttyAlacrity]

This is what I'm talking about!! Call him out! that purse should be a 50/50 split to be reasonable though. Also after this fight he would have to fight Cotto though and Pac or Floyd would owe JMM a fight for him stepping aside

[Mr. Chago]

If Manny Pacquiao wants a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr, all he has to do is ask. At least that's what Floyd told The Grand Rapids Press. Mayweather returns for the first time since December 2007 when he takes on Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. If Pacquiao requests the fight, Mayweather says that he will pay Marquez to step aside so the fight can happen. Pacquiao is slated to face WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on November 14.

JMM, after that PAC...just hyping the JMM fight with this comments

[PACBOY]

JMM wont take a pay off...He wants to punish this man!

[Talisayen]

JMM will not accept Mayweather's offer until he pays off all the money he owes the IRS and trash collector. Mayweather might execute a quick one as he did with his lenders and JMM won't accept a rain check especially from Floyd.
