Right on the MONEY......

....Samurai's hit the bulls eye!

Yeah, like he is just "trying to clean up boxing", he wants people to look up to him like he's some kind of hero. It's ****ing wack and totally transparent! Bring another man down in order to build yourself up. Damn snake. Floyd is so cheap. He has no intention of cleaning up boxing, but if he did, he should start with himself and his ****** mouth.

Floyd has been talking bout steroids a lot lately. He better worry about the fight because Shane is gonna go so hard once he is in that ring with him. He accepted his random drug testing clause 2 so we know he's gonna be as clean as can be.

i feel you in a way but somebody has to be the bad guy it helps the hype its the reason nobody is really worried about pac clottey (sad to say). in the ring floyd is a class act even when zab hit im behind head and low blowed him he went straight to the corner and didnt over react like he could have. if floyd loses the i see him just giving props where they are due but u never know lol he may play the blame game this is a very dangerous fight for him but i know he will win!

LOL I can respect that.Floyd plays a great bad guy too lol.Oh fyi i felt judah was on his was to goin to sleep or quitingso he needed that low blowlol.

Damn, Pacquiao is really only making $6 million? ****, that's crazy. He made almost 3x as much against Cotto. Smh. But Floyd sounds like he really wants 2 make some changes in the sport. Mayweather 4 commisioner of boxing.

Stop drinking the Sr. Kool Aid.

Where is your evidence that he's only getting a couple of million? And lol at the word "only" in any case! Most fighters never make even that much in a single fight.

Did you think it was shady when he pulled out of the De La Hoya and Hatton fights because he was unhappy with the contracts? Or when he threatened to pull out of the Cotto fight? In all three cases, if the other fighter hadn't backed down, Pacquiao would have ended up taking a lower paid fight on a matter of principle. If it's shady this time then it was shady in those three fights as well. He's always put his principles before short term finances. This isn't the first time he's done it. It's just the first time that the other fighter didn't back down. (Or the second time, if you count the aborted Marquez rematch in 2004).

*****s love making **** up like their idol Floyd. According to Floyd he was making 20 mil then in another story its 40 mil then 100 mil. He once said he was worth 700 mil then he can't pay for ****. Oh saying Manny only made 75K for Nike endorsement is a joke. Manny gives that away to his entourage for losing weight.

yea and judah was classy for not retaliating either when cotto landed 4 low blows in the first round so he wouldnt get knocked out.

[BattlingNelson]

actually no, just like before hgh was even known about in mlb it wasnt illegal.
once known and the affects understood then it became illegal.
lots of supplements were used and are not fda approved.
rules are stricter now.
do i agree now with what shane used? no.
was "the cream" illegal at the time? no it was unheardof.

"The Cream" was testosterone cream. Testosterone has been on the doping list for decades.

This is prize fighting.

Anyone has a right to think that rejecting however amount of money he would have made with Mayweather, to turn around and make only a couple mills with Clottey is extremely shady.

Pacquiao has a history of avoiding difficult matchups which would pay more money. He turned his back on a $8 million guaranteed payday for Marquez III and instead fought tailor made David Diaz for $2 million, the lowest rated title holder at Lighweight who happened to be slow and lefthand dominant. Now he turns down a $25 to $40 Million dollar payday because he refused to accept Mayweather's only stipulation which is random drug testing with a 14 day cutoff date prior to the fight.

[tredh]

I asked where your evidence was that he's only making a couple of million with Clottey, and you haven't provided any evidence for that claim whatsoever.

In any case, Mayweather also walked away from the fight when he refused to accept the 24 day cut-off. At that time, Floyd had no idea that he'd be able to get a fight with Mosley, and he was talking about fighting Matthew Hatton, FFS. And even Mosley is a much smaller payday for Floyd than Pac would have been. So it works both ways.

As I pointed out in my previous post, which you haven't responded to, Pac has always been motivated by more than just money - he was willing to walk away from the De La Hoya and Hatton and Cotto fights on matters of principle, when he didn't like the contracts. So if he's shady now, he was equally shady then. But as I said in my previous post, the idea that anyone who is motivated by more than just money is somehow shady, is just pathetic.

I don't have a opinion either way. But it is shady when contracts are already signed(I believe) then a fighter threatens to walk away because of something they don't like. Why sign in the first place if you didn't like something?

It was released to the public that that Pac/Clottey would be a 90/10 split with Pac getting 10 million+ and Clottey 1 million+. When you factor in Top Rank's 40% cut that's where PBF is coming up with his 6 million figure but he forgot to factor in Golden Boys cut because they also get a cut out of Pac's purses which brings you a figure more like what Murad Muhammad (Pac's former promoter) was saying. He said in a recent interview that Pac receives 20% of his actual purse. Yes Pac is getting ****ed w/o grease. Who is Pac to dictate anything in reality in regards to PBF. I know his fans make him out to be this god but the reality is Shane Mosley will make more fighting Floyd (15 mill) than Pac will for Clottey and if you think Pac isn't driven by money as much as Floyd is explain to me why he would be getting 90/10 fighting a a top ranked former champion that legitimizes their fight? Nothing less than a 80/20+ in my book but Pacroid aint no different than any other fighter when it comes to money dont get it twisted.
If Floyd (clearly the biggest draw in boxing) would've said 55/45 team Pac would've immediately walked away from the table why because Pac is a greedy fighter. Random testing is random testing. Why would any clean fighter resist it? Manny is shady for resisting random testing and also all the shenanigans he pulled in the past to get leverage in fights. Team Pac only goes by the rules when it comes to random testing other than that they have been allowed to bend and twist the rules like no other fighter I've ever heard of.
