Why a new deal?

[IMDAZED]

Floyd claims that the reason for the demand is just to have a fair, clean fight. So now its about Pac agreeing too late ?

Pac is not agreeing to anything. If Floyd has said on numerous occassions that he wants full testing up to the fight and Manny says he wants 14 days, how is that agreeing? Because Floyd offered it months ago? How ****** is that? What was Manny saying months ago?

no that is simply no longer true

"Mayweather’s last offer on a fight negotiated to a 50-50 split -- with $25 million each, plus pay-per-view percentages -- was a 14-day window before the fight with no blood testing.

“I gave him a chance, up to 14 days out. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That’s what it is,” Mayweather said."

so what I ask of you is this. How can someone accept an offer that is no longer on the table?

oh to the fans and media it looks like he caved in but how do you agree to terms that are no longer there?

so does this direct quote from Mayweather mean absolutely nothing?

according to some I guess so

as for the bigger share I think a lot of people, including myself, have shown why we think Mayweather can ask for the larger portion. I personally think

50/50

7 day cutoff

is about as close to fair as they can get

but while guys like you see it as Manny caving and the onus being on Floyd I would much rather look at the entire picture and not just do what others are now doing and take Manny's word as gospel

Im not taking Manny's word as gospel, but as a sign that he is trying to compromise to get the deal done. In Floyds defense he has spoken about this yet, as far as I know, but if the deal was good back then it should be good now whether he pulled it or not. My point is, nothing has changed if Floyd wants this fight. He can't make more money with anyone else and Pac has given into his last demand. As a boxing fan EVERYBODY should be applauding and saying make the fight than.

but you have to, whether you like it or not, factor in the aspect that the offer was rescinded by Floyd back in Feb

again does that not count for anything?

He's trying to compromise? So then what was he doing in December when they could've fought? And the fact that he can't make more money with another person means bull****. Have you realized this applies even MORESO to Pacquiao? One made $15m in their last fight, the other $40m. Let that soak in for a second and maybe you'll understand why the stakes have changed. Then you get back to explaining how you think it's perfectly fine that Manny wasted everyone's time last winter when he had the perfect compromise in front of him. I mean, you were saying Manny should take the deal back then...right?

stop being immature man

just because we can debate Floyd's side of things doesn't make us groupies and whatnot

I don't recall putting you in that category my man. I think you're intelligent enough to realize how many on here do belong in it though, no?

And floyd's reason for the random testing demand is what ?

[IMDAZED]

And floyd's reason for the random testing demand is what ?

Obviously because he thinks Pac is juicing.

(yawn)

Lol at you still ranting about before when the fight can be made now.

[Kingstan315]

I want to ask a question from a diffrent angle.

Why can't Pac agree to testing up until the fight and take 40% of the Purse????

after all, he just wants to fight right???

[IMDAZED]

(yawn)

Too many words and makes too much sense. Do you have legos?

I was afraid that would happen.
