    He does deserve 50-50 but, lets be real either fighter getting 40 % would be making more money then they have ever had and more money that would make in the near future. However, they don't think that way. There pride, ego and diva like would not let them take anything less then 50-50.

    It doesn't matter what Pac-Clottey pull and what Floyd-Shane the fight is not happening unless is 50-50 and if Floyd-Shane blows Pac-Clottey out the water then the fight is not happening becuase Floyd would want the bigger split. Like how he has stated.

      Lets also not forget Floyd saying no more cut off dates and Arum saying no more additional testing period.

        How strange that - more than money - this is the deal breaker according to Arum.

            On that subject I honestly believe is on Top Rank and Golden Boy. I think the deal breaker IMO was when Schafer didn't go to the Jones meetiing to fight in Dallas. Right after that I am not mistaken that is when everything started falling apart. And, Pac team started making crazy demands about 10mil/lb penalty for Floyd. Even though Floyd never came above 147. I might be having the dates confused but I think That crazy demand came after Schafer skipped the meeting. And, after that was when the OST thing blew up. Even though they did agreed to take it at first.

            My point is this, IMO I think if Golden Boy agrees to fight in Dallas Top Rank would agree to OST. If Golden Boy insist in fighting in the MGM Top Rank would not do the OST. Now this is not a fact just me getting my Horus on with conspiracy theory.

              Imdazed when did the talks start falling apart? Was it after Schafer blew off the meeting with Jerry Jones?

                Yup I said that plenty of times. Arum wanted that 25 Million and the fight in Dallas. That was obvious as hell.

                  Such as no 24/7 and Joshua Clotteys pulling power.

                  It's a huge success actually.
                  I mean he had a countdown show road to dallas I think it was called plus Pacquiao was on a couple tv shows so it had some promotion and you know I don't think the numbers are bad at all but like i said when you compare Floyd avarage a million so its like even though Pacquiao did good ppv numbers he didn't do good enough

                    look at the *******s trying to say 700k is a success. thats terrible when they claimed pac was the reason for 1.25 buys with cotto. then he doesnt 700 or less. thats bad.

                    flyd is the cash cow.
