Mosley ran he wasnt stepping around he ran, and for someone who couldnt cut off the ring, he sure as **** out performed Floyd in that fight.

Floyd got rocked and staggered and cheap shotted Mosley a few times and still couldnt do **** to drop him, Manny dropped his ass and brought the b1tch out of shane early in the fight.

I know your going to argue that Shane was fresher when he fought May right? I dont buy that he was just as shot for that fight as he was for the fight with Pac the difference is he was coming off of a win which No testing was involved and we know someone has a history

Sure shane was shot but that doesnt mean you cant run for dear life where does your boxing expertise come from whats your background Mr you know what your talking about?

I have never heard of one.

But, I think it's due because one started off as a S&C coach while the other one started as a mole.

Floyd Mayweather Demands $100 million for Pacquiao Fight

May 13th, 2011

By Bryanna Fissori

Previously Boxing Insider reported that Zindsi Mandela, daughter of Nelson Mandela, was offering a minimum purse of $25 million each to Many Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38ko) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0-0, 25ko) to secure a bout in South Africa in celebration of her father’s birthday. That number has apparently been doubled.

“A country that I won’t name offered us $100 million to bring the Mayweather fight there,” Pacquiao’s Canadian advisor, Michael Koncz explained to abs-cbnNEWS.com. “So we, in turn, offered $50 million to Mayweather as a guarantee.”

It is unknown whether the offering country was in-fact South Africa or somewhere in the Middle East. Both are likely suspects and there could be others. What is known is that not only did Mayweather decline the offer, but according to Koncz, made a counter demand for the entire $100 million, meaning that if the long- anticipated fight was to happen Pacquiao would be in the ring for free. (This article will not delve into speculation of fear of defeat, disgrace or bodily harm . . . though there are plenty of others that will.)

The $50 million purse is already the largest guaranteed purse in boxing history, but the high price should come as no surprise considering the constant hype of this match-up. In 2007 Mayweather defeated Oscar De La Hoya in a split decision. De La Hoya received $52 million for the match-up, but that number is post pay-per-view payout. Mayweather received $25 million for that bout. The previous record for highest boxing purse was $33 million for Evander Holyfield against Mike Tyson in 1997.

Mayweather has been inactive for nearly a year. Meanwhile Pacquiao has continued to build his reputation and record while becoming a house hold name for even the most casual sports fan. Mayweather’s last bout was in May of 2010 against “Sugar” Shane Mosley which he won by decision. Pacquiao faced Mosley earlier this month with the same result.

The $50 million offered would undoubtedly cover Mayweather’s $3.4 million tax debt to the IRS that is overdue from 2009, though this isn’t the competitor’s first round with the IRS. He previously owed $5.6 million for 2007 taxes and $6.1 million by 2008 which resulted in a lien on his house and a payment plan.

It is commonly believed that the IRS issues are what drove Mayweather out of his 2008 retirement (his second retirement) at age 31, in which he announced that he was “bored” with the sport. Regardless of his level of enthusiasm, he re-entered the ring in September of 2009 to face Juan Manuel Márquez who he defeated in an ununanimous decision. Mayweather Jr. had a $10 million guarantee for the fight trumping the $3.2 million for Márquez, though Mayweather did sacrifice $600,000 to his competitior for weighing in two pounds heavy for the bout.Upon entering 2008, Mayweather asserted in an interview with that he would be a billionaire by the end of the year. In a subsequent interview in Mayweather’s hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan, his father famously disagreed, “How can he tell all the people in Grand Rapids he’s a billionaire?” Floyd Mayweather Sr. said. “He won’t be a billionaire in a billion years. Mark my words, someday he’ll be running through the streets of Grand Rapids broke.”

The IRS isn’t the only trouble the competitor is facing. Many would contend that just as intimidating as the thought of entering the ring with Pacquiao, if not more menacing, is the mound of litigation pending against Mayweather.
Mayweather recently postponed a hearing scheduled for late last month regarding charges of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris. Other charges in the case include felony counts of grand larceny, coercion and robbery. Allegations also include stealing her cell phone and threatening two of their children. If convicted on all counts Mayweather could face up to 34 years in prison. The hearing has been moved to July 29.

The possibility of prison makes the misdemeanor charges Mayweather faces for battery during an altercation with a security guard seem less severe though they are not to be taken lightly. The trial for this case was also postponed and the Las Vegas Justice Court recently set the new trial date for September 1, which means that the recent hype about Mayweather entering the ring against Victor Ortiz on September 17 is not realistic even if there were negotiations pending.

Mayweather is also a defendant in an assault case which arose in January at a Las Vegas nightclub when one of Mayweather’s bodyguards allegedly assaulted a bouncer after he requested to see their identification at the door.

But that’s not all folks. Mayweather still faces charges of defamation against would-be opponent Pacquiao for his statements implying steroid use by the competitor. As previously reported by Boxing Insider, Mayweather originally asserted his contention that Pacquiao uses drugs as a reason for not facing him, but if fans ever believed that to be the truth it is unlikely that they do now with $50 million on the line, and that doesn’t take into account pay-per-view numbers.

While Mayweather spends his time evading the courts to the best of his ability, Pacquiao will continue his training and serving as a member of congress.Pending the success of Mayweather’s legal counsel, one thing is for sure; whether it is $50 million or $100 million, this fight, should it ever happen, is not going to be cheap.

wow the writer of this article seems to be heavily occupied in gossip, and its obvious hes not on floyds side! i wouldnt use this as a reliable source just more media hearsay i would like to see where floyd actually demanded that!

[Come∂ian]

You mean the way Floyd hurt his shoulder with Castillo? or whats Floyds excuse in pot shotting his way to a win over feather fisted Baldomir?

Torn rotator cuff = Cramps? I guess......Didnt know Floyd needed a excuse for Pot Shotting? Thats the efficient way he chose of fighting in that fight no matter how anti-climatic to the fans it my have been. Get in and get out while taking 0 damage. Does he need to give you an excuse on why he pot shot against De La Hoya too?

You already know I have proven my background, and let me ask you this since your all ****ing knowing like the rest of you *****sexuals, whats really the difference between a pro and a amateur fighter?

one gets paid the other doesnt one goes 12 rounds the other tops out at 4
However most argue that the head gear and the glove size, well the gloves are 10 ounces, and the headgear I am being real that doesnt protect ****, in the opinion of most down here who train amateurs that headgear is for the parents....

The difference between the pros and the amateurs is not just rounds and money.
if your going to be the best in the amateurs you have to and must fight and beat all the top fighters, in the pros its not the same you can have creative match making get you a belt in no time and cherry pick your way through the game.

in other words Amateur boxing is a sport while Professional boxing is a business.

But pot shotting against a guy with a doezen losses nearly 70 fights on his record and only 13 knock outs... Come on Vernon Forrest went out there and tried to get Baldomir out of there Floyd just played high speed tag with him
