Has there ever been a boxer more diva-like about contracts than Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

[adobostreak]

having excess demands unheard of in boxing history
taking sweet time to sign a contract to fight
making little guys come up to his weight class to fight him
the list goes on

has there anyone else in history who has been such a diva? (besides floyd)

[Ray*]

Yeah, His name is Manny Pacquiao..

[apokalips]

Yeah, His name is Manny Pacquiao..

It is true that Manny has been much more diva like in recent times than Mayweather ever has.

We would also have to say Hopkins and Jones too with their saga.

[billionaire]

Yeah, His name is Manny Pacquiao..

lol does anyone remember the pac hatton negotiations......pac took forever to sign the contract and that fat banker shaffer said the same ****.....everyone needs to calm the **** down without talking about floyd for one day......

[check hook]

Yeah, His name is Manny Pacquiao..

Pacquiao, Hopkins, Jones are the worst in boxing at the moment, Special mention goes to De la Hoya and now Andre ward.

The worst guys are the top ones, Pac alway have trouble with other fighters when it comes to money, I was shocked money was never an issue when the Mayweather deal was agreed with Pac.

probably cuz floyd never wanted the fight in the first place. he'd never do 50/50 and agree to 10 million per pound penalty unless somethin was up.

[El Protagonista]

De La Hoya comes to mind

[M.I Truth ?]

Well this thread backfired badly.

So let me get this straight Mayweather never wanted the fight in the first place so he agree to a 50-50 split even though for weeks it was rumoured he wouldnt do 50-50, And then he agreed to a 10 million dollar penalty but according to you he didnt want the fight in the first place right??? Okay mate whatever makes you sleep at night.
