Mayweather Misses Agreement Deadline

3 OF 20

While the initial agreement of a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao broke down, the two sides went through a mediation process in order salvage it. Reports stated the two sides had finally settled on all sticking points that were holding up the bout and all that was needed was Mayweather's approval.

Arum gave Mayweather a deadline of July 17, 2010 to agree to a Nov. 13, 2010 fight, however the deadline came and went, so Mayweather lost his exclusive negotiating rights according to the Arizona Daily Star.

Although Mayweather never gave his reasoning for failing to sign the contract prior to Arum's deadline, he didn't seem to be too broken up about the fight falling through once again.

Gayweather was A-side, if he wanted the fight, he would've made the fight.

You did exactly what I said you would do. You deflected. You said they didn't agree to a 50/50 split. Mayweather would never agree to that.

Yet all 3 articles say they did agree to a 50/50 split. Just like i said.

Keep deflecting buddy.

Did the articles say they agreed to a 50/50 split? Yes or no?

Pacquiao Agrees To Mayweather Bout With 50-50 Split Of Revenue

https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2009/12/07/Events-Attractions/Pacquiao-Agrees-To-Mayweather-Bout-With-50-50-Split-Of-Revenue.aspx

Manny Pacquiao has signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in "boxing's biggest fight on March 13," according to a source cited by Dan Rafael of ESPN.com. Both parties "agreed to a 50-50 split of the money." The bout will be referred to as Mayweather-Pacquiao "for promotional purposes," but Top Rank, in support of Pacquiao, will "receive first billing over Golden Boy throughout the promotion." Instead of a "full-scale media tour, there will only be a single press conference" in N.Y. in January. With the "schedule compressed because of the March 13 date for the fight, rather than May 1, which the promoters and HBO PPV preferred, it didn't leave time for a lengthy media tour." Rafael noted the bout is taking place in March because Pacquiao is "running for a congressional seat in the Philippines and the elections are in May, which would have been a conflict between his training and the campaign" ( ESPN.com, 12/5 ). In L.A., Bill Dwyre noted the bout will "generate headlines for months," and the PPV will "certainly threaten the record 2.4 million buys" for the Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya bout in '07 ( L.A. TIMES, 12/5 ). FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT : SI.com's Chris Mannix noted major U.S. cities are "clamoring for the opportunity to host Pacquiao-Mayweather, arguably the biggest fight in more than a decade and one that represents   [tens] of millions in revenue for the winning city." Las Vegas has proposed erecting a 30,000-seat outdoor stadium on The Strip to "accommodate the expected demand for tickets," while Staples Center officials also "have expressed interest." New York state officials have "lobbied to hold the fight in the new Yankee Stadium," and Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones has spoken with Top Rank Chair Bob Arum about hosting the fight in Cowboys Stadium. In addition, political pundit James Carville has been "burning up the phone lines promoting" New Orleans ( SI.com, 12/5 ). Arum said that he will visit Cowboys Stadium on Thursday with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg ( L.A. TIMES, 12/5 ). But Schaefer indicated that Las Vegas "deserves first crack at landing the bout." He said, "Las Vegas is the boxing capital of the world. A fight of this magnitude deserves to be in Las Vegas" ( LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 12/5 ).

Lies tho right?

A more likely scenario is Hearns putting him to sleep.

If PBF is his best version and let's assume he played it safe as Money, where does his PBF career stand in terms of ATG? I ask because I hear this a lot. People like to say, forget about what he did at WW, it wasn't the true Mayweather, but rather at the lighter weights when he was PBF. So where does that career stand?

No prime all time greats down there either Corrales was the best guy

Bottom line, Gayweather was A-SIDE. If he wanted the fight he would have made it. But as per his entire career he ducked and dodged anyone P4P fighter in their prime.

Agreeing to 50/50 is wanting the fight. Declining random drug testing is not wanting the fight.

Any ubias person can understand that

Floyd hasn't got a top ten best resume at WW of all time. Floyd has more of a case of doing well h2h though in fantasy fights, rather than great wins in bag. But having said that he loses in fantasy fights to SRR, SRL, Hearns and prime pac

Floyd figured Oscar out, he took the left hand away from him.

Rewatch the fight and pay attention to Floyds face as OLD MAN Delahoya touches him quite easily the first few rounds. Same goes for Pac. A young Delahoya would of eaten him up easier than Floyd. Im talking a Delahoya at 135-140. He was at his best then. No one could touch him at those weights. Well Maybe Mosley and Pernell. To me Delahoya at 147 was generic.

Given Floyd’s high boxing IQ - I think we can all agree, he would adapt and beat any top 5 WW out there
