Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks Complete: Floyd's Nod Needed

[Deep Blue 1997]

funny, that's exactly why I think he DOESN'T want the fight. Because as soon as this fight is over, his cash cow is gone. Does Manny want it? I'm sure of it. Bob? Not so much.

i think i see where you are going at.

but Manny would most likely retire even if he were to fight Margarito or Cotto, as he still has his job as being a congressman ahead of him.

so why would Bob Arum not want it if he will lose his cash cow in both situations?

[-Kev-]

Again it is obvious that the ball has always been in Floyds court.. If he wanted this fight to make that big payday then he would of signed it already but the continuous road blocks clearly shows that he prob doesnt want to fight...

How obvious is that...?

Sign the fight Floyd.. Make the fight happen..

This is the first time, it seems, that Arum and Team Pacquiao have agreed to what Floyd wants. So I don't know why you're making it seem like this agreement has always been on the table.

I thought I read somewhere that Floyd agreed on the 50/50 now.

Floyd already flip flopped on the % before. He said he wanted a higher split, then last Dec. he agreed to an even split, then again he wants a higher split.

Manny is not budging on the %. Floyd will go back to his already agreed 50/50 split again.

Manny has already agreed on the 14 day OST. Floyd has to realize that his fight with Mosley was 18 days before the fight.

Don't tell me Floyd will not agree just because they both know that there is a cutoff date. That will be a pretty lame excuse to cancel this fight.

Whats up dude!

You have to know the negotiations are different this time. In Dec/Jan Floyd hadn't outsold manny 2:1 in their last respective ppv fights (reasons do not matter). Manny didn't have 51k fans come see him and the live gate was less than the live gate floyd had with 15-16k fans. Plain and simple the economics CHANGED!

Any pac fan, if they were in floyds shoes, would negotiate differently. He doesn't owe manny anything!

Actually I think the 27% he would make off of Pacquiao in a Mayweather fight would be more money for Arum then taking 27% of Pac and 27% Cotto or Margarito in those fights.

Floyd - Pac will over double any of those other fights.

exactly

which leads me to believe he want's to make the Floyd fight more than anything.

I'm not sure Manny will retire with a Cotto rematch or Margarito. In fact, I'm convinced he wouldn't.

Yea theres way more money to be made there then anywhere...everyone says all he is doing is looking out for himself and all he wants is money.....well this fight will make him more money by far then any other fight

It was good enough for Manny last time.

Manny should shut up and agree to not know when the testing will stop. I'm sure a compromise of 0-7 days will be reached. I hope...

Manny never had any problem with taking any test. It was always just a matter of when.

Like I mentioned before. If Floyd wants it up to the fight, then have at least some sort of proof to back up your claim that Manny is on PED.

NOT JUST SOME "BASELESS" ACCUSATIONS.

If he comes up with that. Then yeah, Manny will bend over and take it up to the fight. He has to. Heck, he'll even take test between rounds to, if Floyd wants.

If Floyd doesn't have any proof to back up his claim. Then STFU Floyd and just accept the 14 days and just fight.

Only then you can prove if you are "ATG" like you claim.

I'm really hoping this fight happens. I believe Mayweather will sign the contract if both of his demands are met. He was already interviewed on MTV and hinting to this fight happening later this year, which I posted the video a couple weeks ago. If the 60-40, full random testing was met, Floyd will sign. If not, then he will not sign.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No worries? Take the full testing. The fight comes off with a cutoff of 7 days TOPS. Watch.

**** all this other bull****. Just sign it Floyd.
