Manny offered a 14-day cutoff. (***** double standard)

I have my doubts that Mayweather will stay with the 50/50 split he had previously agreed to. I'm sure his fight with Mosley sold more than Pac's fight with Clottey, therefore, making Mayweather the bigger draw and deserving a bigger part of the pie (at least in his eyes).

The only way the fight will get made is if it is set to 50/50. Any less and ego's take over and the fight does not happen. Both camps know this. Anyone who demands more simply does not want to fight the other guy.

You guys really think Bob Arum is going to let Floyd... his former employee tell him how to do business ? hahaha floyd is small time next to arum, its the old man's way or the highway. Forget about Pacquiao... Bob Arum is who decides if this fight happens or not.

Floyd was not his employee, he was Floyds. The Promoter is not the employer. The Promoter's job is to spin and promote the fighter. Hense it is the fighter paying the promoter a fee to take care of that area of business.

Fans are not playing hardball. We are simply saying that we understand why Floyd would because we would too if we were in his position. And, whether they want to admit it or not, Pac and his fans would also play hardball if they were in Floyd's position.

as fans we want this to happen, although I agree with PAC in position not to random blood testing up to a certain cut-off date not to close to the fight and unlimited urine testing with no cut offs, IMHO he could go down as near as 10 days to one week before the fight...

it Manny's position now that he has agreed to the last hurdle during last negotiation which was 10 days difference which Mayweather's was acceptable before, why is their need to add additional hindrances?

I hope Casual, Pac & Floyd fans beats the drums and make this fight happen...

Come on we all know Floyd was Arum's *****.

Which is why Arum is bitter over the fact that Floyd dropped his old ass, began promoting himself with the aid of GBP, and is now the biggest draw in boxing history?

Be gone.

No they were each others *****. Trust me their falling out hurt Arum more. Arum lost a star fighter. Floyd was already made and was a star in his own right.

Floyd and Manny are so big now they don't even need promoters. They could do it on their own, but will not do it because in the promotion business their is financial risk involved and they don't want that risk. Even though Floyd claims his is on his own he really isn't. Golden boy spent huge bucks promoting his last fight and they want a good return on that investment.

That is why when floyd says he does not have to pay anyone anything it is just a crock. Of course they are making money off of him. They are not doing it out of the kindness of their heart.

There are a ton of people hanging off Floyd and Manny like leeches. Some are getting paid very well for it too.

Arum is a businessman, this is big money probably equal to 2-3 Pacquiao fights versus anyone else, he will try make this happen before PAC retires ....

How many $20 million paydays has that "Fighter of the Decade" award earned Pac?

Pac doesn't follow by the IRS up to the fight night while on floyd they are on the front row. lol.

Doesn't care if floyd will earn 50 million dollars in every of his fight, but pac will always be higher in ATG rankings than floyd. That was a sad truth.
