    Proven wrong? What's the matter, don't know how to use google? Floyd's original offer had no cut-off. The 14-day offer was made during mediation as a last ditch attempt to keep Manny from walking away from the negotiating table. He did anyway. Again, you're wrong. But what else is new?

      Yea but why would I want to use google on something so simple like this?

      Floyd's offer was 14 days and then he switched it. You have your thought and I have mine.

      You haven't proven me wrong. You haven't showed me anything. Give me something to read please. I'll read it when I come back from going to see the fight here in Houston.

        No, you are wrong here.

        The original offer was no cut off date but Pacquaio wanted, I believe, was 24 day cut off (Either that, or 30), to which Mayweather compromised to 14 days, which was rejected, thus, fell through.

          Imdazed said it was 0 at the start though. Is he wrong?

            Correct, Manny wanted 30 days, then went down to 24.

              No, he is not. That was the original offer...that was accepted. Then out the blue, Team Manny backtracked and wanted cut off dates.

                No, he's correct.

                It was 0 days at the start. But, Pacquaio wanted 24 days, to which Mayweather compromised to 14 days, to which, Pacquaio refused and thus walked away.

                Here's a timeline of the events.

Only the facts are included in this definitive timeline. Links to mulitple outside references have been included for each date, so fans can draw their own conclusions as to what went wrong at each step of the way.

                  Fighthype is biased. No credibility whatsoever.
