here is the other side of the article about Floyd killing the fight...
MEGAFIGHT DOOMED! THANKS MANNY!
By Danny Howard | December 31, 2009
When negotiations began for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao super fight, I had predicted that Mayweather would hold up the fight due to his massive ego and desire for an unrealistic purse split. For a fighter who calls himself "Money" and constantly refers to himself as the greatest fighter of all time, a parity split of the purse would be like a slap in the face to him, especially against an opponent that he considers being inferior to him. The boxing world would turn around and bash Mayweather and condemn him even further as the fight fell through, his reputation soiled and his ego damaged.
