Now that the testing is out of the way, it's now the purse split. Floyd did more ppv buys with mosley than manny did with clottey, true. However, when pac did more ppv buys with cotto than floyd did with marquez, manny understood it should be 50/50. The two top fighters in the game on a level of their own, IMO.
    I understand where you're coming from..But let's say you wanted to buy a car for $10,000 in last January, and the dealer told you that the price is $15,000, so you walked out. Now as of May, you returned to that same car dealer to accepted his previous price, do you think the price will stay the same as it was last January? Maybe, maybe not..Like i said, both of them have to give up something..If Manny want 14 days, he should agree to a lesser split..If Floyd want a bigger split, he/USADA should fully accept Manny's cutoff date or find a way to accept it..

      this new stance from floyd has clearly ***ed up negotiations, so why not come out and just say, "the fight isn't gonna get made"

      cuz it clearly looks like it isn't....
      Where did the article come from Manny's lawyer. Freddie saying Floyd has no legs. Manny telling the media he will do the 14 days and Arum saying that if the fight doesn't happen it is Floyds fault. All of this came out in the last two weeks from Manny's side.

        I get where you're coming from too man. But if there is no good reason for the car to APPRECIATE in value over several months I would ask why they raised the price? They want the money, I want my car. What's the hold up? Manny already gave in to the 14 days that floyd himself spoke on after the deal fell through. You know that manny, just like floyd, is a diva himself. I just want the fight to happen... Test no test/ Money no money.. LOL!

        We can just agree to disagree i guess.

            Not trying to hound you, but I think the reason that Mayweather now wants a bigger split is because when the fight fell through the 1st time and each guy went on to fight someone else, Mayweather's fight doubled Pacquiao's in viewers.

              I see your point. Floyds numbers vs Mosley exceeded Mannys ppv buys vs clottey. However, Mannys numbers vs Cotto exceeded Floyds vs Marquez. Manny didn't feel the need to change up the purse. I just want the fight, f**k all the other bull**** going on right now. We all want the fight. I'm sure at this point, both Manny and Floyd want this fight even moreso.

                You're right bro, what the ffffffffff****kk? Seriously, biggest duck in the history of the sport. I bet he's got at least a couple more duck moves ready in case this one isn't enough.

                  If they couldn't agree with the purse split, they need to move forward fighting different opponent until they'll re-realized whose the bigger draw or just retire.

                    Legitimate demand by Floyd. Why is everybody hating on Floyd now? Manny was being a baby about blood testing, KNOWING that in new negotiations Floyd would NEVER take a 50/50 split with him.

                    I said months ago that when Pacquiao does give in to demands, Floyd will NOT give him 50/50 as he was generous enough to do the first time. I am not surprised at all that he has denied him 50/50 and it's clear to me that Pacquiao has only agreed to blood testing because he knows that Floyd will not agree to 50/50, as he shouldn't - he has always outsold Pacquiao even with the same opposition.

                    Who's the duck here? I'll give you a hint: He's in this room and the smell of pancit is so pungent it stings the nostrils.
