People don't get it, Floyd WANTS Pac to call him out.

Nobody in Floyd's shoes would accept 50/50, youre speaking from either your hate or a fan's perspective. Step outside the fan's perspective for a moment and put yourself in the shoes of someone who's done the biggest PPV ever and also has outsold the opponent in question for each of your 3 common opponents, just doesnt make sense.

Nobody in Manny's shoes should accept 50/50. Youre speaking from either your hate or a fan's perspective. Step outside the fan's perspective for a moment and put yourself in the shoes of someone who's been fighting the best opponents and actually giving the fans what the want.

You have to remember that Manny is the one that has built this fight into a mega event by actually doing the fighting. Of course he shouldn't settle for less than 50/50. That ain't hate, thats reasonable.

No other opponent? He can fight anybody he chooses to.

Let's see how many PPVs he can get fighting Ivan Calderon......

Really??? Name 1 other option for Floyd aside from Pacquiao???

1. DLH-Pacquiao wasn't seen as much of a fight either. So why compare?

2. Common opponents don't mean **** when Mayweather was a well known AMERICAN boxer and Pacquiao was an unknown FOREIGN fighter. Things are much different nowadays.

How do common opponents show true fanbase numbers if when they fought one guy was a well known American olympic boxer at the time and the other was a relatively unknown foreign fighter? Not to mention a declining economy at the time of some of their common opponents.

Pacquiao's stardom has just recently eclipsed Mayweather's recognition. We should only compare recent fights that will show true number of how much of a fanbase both fighters have today. Not 3-4 years ago.

Youre right, Oscar/Pac wasnt seen as much of a fight, youre right about that.

Huh? Floyd can fight anybody he wants to fight. Anybody. Who cant he fight?

Huh? Floyd can fight anybody he wants to fight. Anybody. Who cant he fight?

Who would he fight besides Pacquiao???

What does fighting in the Phillipines have to do with common opponent PPV numbers? Marquez, Hatton, Oscar. I dont see anything wrong with 60/40 for crying out loud, Pac would stand to make what..perhaps 30 million at least, gosh.

Than answer me why floyd shouldn't take the 60/40? As I've stated, its Manny's willingness to move up and fight the best that has turned this into such a must see event. Do you think people are going to actually buy this to hear Floyd say "I steal money!". No. They'll buy it because they want to see Manny beat him.

Then why didn't he? You along with floyd keeps contradicting yourself.

While Manny has built this fight into a mega event Floyd has been making it seem lackluster by his recent disposal of Marquez. Had the Cotto fight been before the Marquez lopsided win, Id imagine some would still not care so much for this fight. Its nothing against Manny 40 percent is a great percentage if you ask me, nobody else would probably be able to get 40%. Sharmba got about 4% of the purse when he fought Floyd...Im just saying.

[Bhopreign]

Who would he fight besides Pacquiao???

Im just saying he's in the position to fight anyone he wants to. He could fight Hatton in England and do big if he wanted.
