Do floyd fans understand what a weight-penalty is?

[Jo94403]

I think in March it would be 50/50. I don't see how floyd doesn't negotiate more given the ppv sales. And since floyd/ssm did more than pac/cotto (both opponents have a big name) then I think floyd has even more "leverage" regarding the money split.

I don't think its wise for Mayweather to be asking for anything different from there original negotiations.

Right now, Manny is being shown to the public that he wants this fight and so he agreed to the 14 days.

Mayweather on the other hand is back peddling and this interview that he did and said that he will take 1-2 yrs off certainly did not help him.

IMO any additional demands from Mayweather will be shown as an excuse to not fight.

Actually, they agreed not to negotiate in the media so floyd responded to manny's press release with a statement about retiring before he did a make a wish event for a sick child.

I'm sure merchant, bert sugar, and others will lay the blame on floyd. Thats fine. But just like floyd fought mosley and changed the perception, if the fight doesn't happen and he fights martinez at 154 or 160 he will change perception.

And, if pac fights cotto again or margarito I think the mainstreeam media will really question it.

Why was there an extra weight penalty for Miguel Cotto?

The only fight that really makes sense and what the world wants to see is Floyd and Manny.

Yes your right, they shouldn't be negotiating through the media like they did the first time. But you know, people have such big mouths. Especially this Gacal guy who's Manny's lawyer. They should just STFU!

But it makes you wonder when are we going to hear about this fight being made.

I think they said by the end of this month. Hopefully.

yeah I think they have to announce by the end of june to get the hype machine started.

Because Manny only does what the Commission says...oh wait....
