    Is Floyd deserving enough to demand $100m to fight Manny

    Lets just say the testing is no longer a issue, and what Arum has been saying is true....in that Floyd has demanded $100m, guaranteed, to fight Manny.
    Is he deserving enough to demand that?

    NO ONE IN BOXING DESERVES THAT MUCH FOR A FIGHT, UNLESS THE FIGHT SELLS GROSSES 200 MILLION+.

    But Pacquiao fans will say that Manny deserves it, even though hes only been a draw for 3-4 years, and Mayweather has been for a long time.

        What about if you could pay some kind of pre PPV deposit to generate the money as well as the additional PPV cost, would you do it?

          Even if you offered Floyd 100m, he still wouldn't fight Manny. Mayweather would cluck away

              Does anyone recall, was there talk that Lewis would come out of retirement to re-match Vitali for $50M?

                  It's not a matter of deserving, it's a matter of fact of "Can he draw that kind of money to earn $100M", and I believe the answer is yes. This fight is many times bigger than DLH vs Mayweather. Oscar had $50M guaranteed for that fight.

                    Not as a guarantee! Its been reported that Floyd was offered $50mil as a guarantee with more to come via ppv sales. Now if the sales go thru the roof and Floyd happens to make $100mil or close to it, then more power him. That's great! Buy asking for $100mil as a guarantee only translates to "I dont want to fight Pac"
