Should Clottey have gotten a 50/50 split? The man bring NOTHING. What does what Pac looked against him after the fight have anything to do with how much Clottey got paid. Clottey Got a HUGE payday with i think 1.5 mil and just took the money and walk away instead of actually fighting

Wait E...I thought Manny didn't fight for money....??not according to Manny
key part
"The parties had agreed on a 50-50 split of the purse, several sources said, but Pacquaio, the pound-for-pound king, subsequently demanded a 60-40 split and the two sides have been at an impasse since."
and here is another where not only do they state the final splits BUT the trouble he gave De La Hoya
Pacquiao took Hatton and his promoters, Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, to the brink and then made them blink. He did the same thing a few months back when he forced De La Hoya to throw him an extra three per cent (62-38 rather than 65-35 split of their Dec. 8 fight) and then made him blink again throughout a one-sided eight round beating that ended only when De La Hoya quit on his stool.
That dominating victory over boxing’s Golden Boy, coupled with the fact Pacquiao believed he’d made him back down in their negotiations as well, led him to some brinksmanship with Hatton that had Schaefer growling, his own promoter, Bob Arum, shaking his head and trainer Freddie Roach in the dark until all sides relented on their insistence that the purse be split 50-50 and agreed to a 52-48 breakdown that guarantees Pacquiao $12 million plus a sweetener from Arum that he claims “won’t cost me anything’’ but others whisper is worth $1.5 million extra.
so my questions to you
who now has a penchant for stalling for more money?
if they argued that Manny's US share was worth more than Hatton's and people are okay with it why then when the argument clearly favors Mayweather suddenly Mayweather is greedy and not wanting this fight to go forward?
do you think an extra 1.5 million is paltry? if not then couldn't you concede that since Manny's side argued for that extra coin it too should be okay for Mayweather considering the facts are on his side as far as generating more revenue?
all in all I just wonder why it is okay for Manny to stall fights, for Manny to ask for more for his take, for Manny to hold fast for what he feels is his right yet when it comes to Mayweather well then it's all Mayweather's fault?
I don't know WHY people believe that. Here we have Manny about to walk away from two fights over.......money....hmmm....
