A Nike sponsored athlete versus a Reebok freebies recipient?

Looks like Floyd is going to price himself out of the fight. Big surprise.

Denial is not a river in Egypt. The whole Mayweather Team is shook.

If he has to keep saying it, it's probably not that crystal clear.

Pacman is only really a big star in his home country.

Ellerbe and Floyd are on some ***** ****. Mayweather doesn't even deserve a bigger split than Pacquiao because Pacquiao is the most popular Asian fighter there is. He has influence over people not just in the Phillipines. But countries like Sinagore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. And not to mention that the crime rate in the Phillipines goes down. Mayweather and his team don't even take these kind of things into consideration when they talk out of their ass. I think 50-50 is somewhat reasonable but if Floyd got a bigger portion than that then Pacquiao and his negotiating team are crazy for that. They should stand firm on this and not budge because all of Floyd's big name opponents got a bigger cut of the money than he did.

And I find it funny when Ellerbe points out the fact that Cotto is a bigger PPV draw than JMM. Well, if so, then why the hell did Floyd duck him and go into retirement? I mean, I'm not saying Cotto did anything to help the fight happen either. But it's still the fact that it always seemed like Floyd didn't want anything to do with Cotto when Cotto was more at the top of his game. He said that he'd retire from boxing and not let boxing retire him when Merchant threw names at him like Winky, Forrest, and Cotto.
