Back in December/January Pac had all the leverage he needed to get a 50/50 fight with Mayweather. His fight with Cotto did well selling 1.25 mil. He sold 250K more than Floyds fight with JMM. He was in the Drivers seat of the Mega bout. All he had to do is take a simple drug test... Instead Manny let foolish pride get in the way which made him sign the dotted line to fight bum ass Joshua Clottey in what was supposed to be "the Event" which ended up becoming the undercard and worse fight of any decade. (I don't know anyone who seen the fight all the way through... **** I fell asleep watching it on youtube IN THE MORNING!) That fight went on to do 700k in PPV buys which is good numbers... But not enough to compete with Floyd Mayweather Jr. FMJs fight with SSM would go on to do 1.4 mil buys, surpassing Pac vs Clottey and even if you add Pac and Floyds last 2 fights together, Floyd is still crushing Manny 2.45 to 1.95. So truthfully, Floyd has the right to demand 60/40. Us fans will say ****** **** like,"How can you say floyd deserves 60/40? YOUR NOT GETTING PAID ANY OF THAT MONEY! Don't you want the fight to happen?". All are VALID points. But boxing is Floyds JOB. Just like some of us have JOBS. So just like when we go in that office asking for that 3 to 5% raise, I don't want to see Floyd Mayweather Jr posting blogs on my jobs website about how I don't deserve that raise. He's not getting any of it so why should he care? Right. Therefore, we don't need to be trying to sabotage his chance at getting a RAISE. The POINT is: MANNY SHOULD HAVE TOOK THE DRUG TEST BEFORE....

Of course,the Congressman lacks a Strategic Vision.How he convinced anyone to vote for him beggars belief

This is a good example of threads wherein you make a thread with an account and then logon w/ your other account to agree to yourself

lol, but serious though, how the **** can someone say Floyd shouldn't go for 60/40???? If that's the case, everyone shouldn't try to get a raise or a job that Pays more than wat their makin...

Im a Floyd fan, a massive one, but I think a 60-40 split is not reasonable.

I think it has been floated about to see would Arum/Manny budge on the revenue split if the testing cannot be agreed.

My two solutions are based on the fact that Floyd does generate more money via PPV buys, but the edge Floyd has over Manny in this deparment is not as big as some people make out (ie so called *****S):

(1) 50-50 with full random testing (both sides giving ie Floyd gives a bit of money, Manny agrees to the testing)(if Floyd demands full testing, he must also give)(If manny wants 50% even though Floyd generates more $$$ then he must budge)

(2) 55-45 for Floyd (with the full random testing scrapped.)

Ok do me a favor, do these numbers for me. Add up Floyd and Pacs numbers from their last two PPVs (2.45+1.95= 4.4mil), then notice that Floyd has outsold Pac by 500k. Now find out what percentage 500k is out of 4.4mil. Then ask urself if 10 extra percent is unreasonable...

2.45/4.4= 55.68*%

Okay, TS will be logging off for a few hours now

He'll be back once this thread is no longer in the first ten pages of the forum

I just want to see the fight happen.. But if it doesn't I hope Manny goes for broke and moves back down to 140 and takes on the younguns there
