    All these ego is killing boxing.

    Phuck people like Arum and mayweather.
    i think their past personal grudge with each other is ruining this match-up.

    Just get the fight contract done!
    50-50 split or 60-40(60 for the winner)

    Their egos make fans frustrated.
    Ego kills fans. Ego kills boxing.

    I admire JMM though... fighting at any condition.

      its so easy to say considering you arent getting in the ring and giving up what could be hundreds of thousands or even millions by not wanting that extra 10%...


      i agree though that theres a little too much greed on the side of the promoters, but for a boxer to want his worth is something different...

      there's always other guys willing to fight if it gets that bad

          Politics and greed have taken over. Legacy and pride means ****. The good old days with facing the best in the division all the time for a cool mill is over. Now they can't even make a fight where they could possibly get ten times that..

            yeah. i agree with you.

            It would be cool if we could go back to the old times...
            Implement the old rules.

              Yeah, it is beyond a joke. Strange that DLH managed to get fights without all this bull**** when he was fighting.

                The boxing associations should limit the fighters purse to stop all of these greediness...

                  are you kidding, you want wage RESTRICTION? how would you like it if you were told by some association that you make too much and need to work for less? besides, that would only lead to ****tier matchups since the association would make a killing off of fighters... they would be the one taking all the excess profits...

                  the money is there, its just a matter of agreement

                    i really think we should see moreof the 'winner gets a bigger slice'

                    go back to the hatton vs pacman fight and the negotiations were just stuck in stalemate. it would have made sense to say that the winner gets the 55-45 share in his favour.

                    if half of these guys are as confident as they seem then they should have no problem in accepting the 'winner gets a bigger slice' term in a contract
