If all the *******s in the world sent emails, phone calls, letters, protests, to TopRank and Team Pacquiao saying they want the Bradley fight instead of Floyd then yes it's possible.

Exactly, they are already saying it. "FORGET GAYWEATHER, FIGHT BRADLEY AND ORTIZ"

We all know there is NO way in hell either of these fighters will take less than 50%.

Too much ego involved.

Regardless of whoever is the bigger draw it doesnt matter, Whoever requests more than 50% is the one who doesnt want the fight to happen. Is that fair to say?

Because whoever request more than 50% knows the opponent wont accept anything less, hence they are ducking.

Cmon *****s and *******s, you know thats a fair assumption, dont make excuses.

Whoeever request more than 50% is ducking, Alright?

i agree..which is why i still dont think its going to happen

leonard ellerbes interview clearly suggests they [mayweather] will ask for more than 50%

I won't believe it until the contract is signed.

I don't believe anything anymore until the I see the contract signed. Is floyd just announcing it just because he doesn't get any publicity lately that is why he announced it? Trying to get the attention Manny is harboring nowadays?

Quote a ******* that said this. I want to see this.

YES. *******s have been enabling Mannys behavior!!!!! Why would he fight Floyd when his fanbase supports his decisions on ducking??? Like people keep saying (PRESSURE) Pacquiao, Floyd has had all the pressure in last few years.

Stop enabling Team Pacs ducking. So yes, just like with raising kids, if you enable there attitudes, they will think that it is ok.

Hahahah. That is the wackiest thing I have heard in the last 2 days, and believe me, there has been some absolutely rotten crap posted by *****s and *******s alike.

I'm out, have fun numpty.

Sorry, I been watching the sport for YEARS before you started. Before Floyd and Manny where really even known.

Sorry, Try Again.

How old are you, 22? You've been watching for...YEARS? Umm...Floyd has been well known since 2000 and Manny since 2004. What were you like 10 or 11 mister boxing expert. I have only been watching boxing since the 80's, which isn't a long time so what does that make you?

BT: In the past, it seemed like the issue of drug testing was the only thing standing in the way, but recently, Manny Pacquiao suggested that he thinks the fight may not happen because Floyd is asking for too much money and the promoters can't afford to pay him. Given the manner in which Bob Arum has been touting the live gate sales for this fight with Marquez, and the pay-per-view numbers that they did with Mosley, do you think that perhaps he's trying to make the case that Pacquiao is a bigger draw and maybe deserves more money for the fight?

LE: Team Mayweather deals with the facts and the facts only. In America, the biggest attraction is always going to be the person who generates the most money. In Floyd's case, it's irrefutable who is the biggest star, the biggest draw, the biggest attraction, any way you want to frame it. Compare apples to apples, same venue, same opponents! Floyd has the bigger live gates, the bigger pay-per-view numbers and the bigger pay-per-view grosses. That's an irrefutable fact. For example, taking a look at the live gate grosses, we did $18.4 million with Oscar; they did $14.3 million. We did $11.1 million with Mosley; they did $8.8 million. For Ricky Hatton, we did $10.4 million and they did $8.8 million. The other fights that the little fellow had in Texas, he did $5.4 million with Margarito and $6.3 million with Clottey in a 100,000 seat stadium. We deal in facts. It's all factual. And there's no debate on who owns the top three highest-grossing non-heavyweight pay-per-view fights. Don't get me wrong, the little fellow has done some very, very good numbers, but Floyd has just done substantially better numbers.

Sounds like an indirect way of saying "yup , we will ask for more than 50%"

Nah stop lying brother, its nothing to do with AGE. It's all about how much you follow the sport, and boxing has always been my MAIN sport, not football, basketball, baseball, but Boxing.

And I have been following the sport for a while, I've seen the primes of Roy Jones, Tyson fights, Holyfield, the comeback of Ray Leonard, Pacquiao get knocked out, Floyd when he was up and coming.

Thats what it is about, actually following the sport, how old are YOU??????
