Dan Rafael on Mayweather/Pacquiao fight next year

[Queen_Leia]

I think when it's all said and done the fight will get made. It's too big not to happen. And if either side messes it up and takes a different fight, there will be a public revolt against the fighter who screwed it up. The public demands this fight and demands it right now. Give the people what they want and both sides will make gobs of money.

Pac, Roach, & Arum already have stated publicly that 50-50 gets it done.

Ball is in Fraudulent jr.'s court.

Agree!!!!!

Pac should just give in to Floyd and give him the 60-40. Then what excuse would he have? Bet he'd find something!

Mayweather will do it at 50/50. They may have to give him some wierd additional nonsense inscentive but he definitely wants this fight. I have a feeling Mayweather believes he takes this. He may be right.

Pac will end up fightin SSM. Fight won't come off cuz of the dispute over splittin the $, ala Bhop-RJ BITD.

Dan dont have no point. No one does because whose to say who screwed it up? Dan hates Floyd so his translation is just like it is on here in that the public will blame Floyd no matter what happeneds. People act like Roach & Arum are doing Floyd a huge favor by saying 50/50 and at WW. Come on now. The fight should be at 147 anyways. That aint no favor. Besides, you think Floyd cant make 146 or 145? That wouldnt be a huge deal. Thats no favor at all. Then they say 50/50. How big of a favor is that? They already knew that the lowest it could possibly go was 50/50. Did you really think Floyd was going to take less, even if it was 51/49? Everyone who knows boxing and is not a hater knows that he deserves atleast 50/50. The question is does he deserve more and I beleive he does but he will get the blame for asking for more even though he's killed Pac in PPV numbers, even though we know that Floyd will sell this fight big time and way bigger than Pac.

Then you have the clown Arum talking about how they killed Floyd by doing .2 more buys? The same Arum who 1st said that it would break the Floyd-Oscar record and then said that it would be a huge dissapointment if it didnt do 1.8 but now has to twist all of that. Thats why they are saying 50/50. Also, are we not forgetting the article where they said that Floyd is bringing in alot of the sales for the Pac-Cotto fight? Its a joke. No way this gets done for 50/50 and we know who will get the blame even though it shouldnt be. Everyone acting like there doing Floyd a favor by saying 50/50 and 147. Man please

floyd will duck the fight, he will be even more hated when he prices himself out of the fight.
