Floyd would rather not let the fight happen than to lose

[My 2 Cents]

Thats why he's asking for the bigger share. He knows he's not gonna hold up. Dispute it.

So why is Roach asking for the bigger share AND asking for Floyd to meet a catchweight too?

This **** is boring stop hatin on Floyd and find a new hobby both sides are bartering as normally happens in negotiations.

I haven't heard this before. Not once, ever.

Arum has stated before that they are amenable to 50/50 but never below that.

It doesn't mean he doesn't want the fight...it just means Floyd is being his usual self and bringing up that his numbers show he draws more money to the table so he should have a bigger split.

People like Freddie who make demands of getting a fighter to drop weight are more scared than anything. That's why Mosley didn't get the fight: he refused to drop to 142/143 lbs. Now add in the money % and it ups the chances of the fight not being made.

It should be 50/50 in the end with the fight being at 147 because the fight needs to be made. 50% from this fight will make them more money than any fight they can have away from this bout even if they were to get the majority of the purse in another bout. However, when we are talking about Floyd, Haymon, Arum and Roach...things get crazy. They don't particularly like each other and don't want to cave it seems.
If Floyd caves to their demands, Floyd may feel it is like Arum saying: Yeah, you're still my little *****.
