You should also add the Ali's daughter Laila said in an interview that Floyd is a more technically sound fighter than her father was. A true boxing fan would say Floyd is a better fighter than Ali was and probably all those legends invited to the dinner. Stop trying to jump topic. Anybody with Miss Pacman in their Top 3 P4P doesn't know **** about boxing.

You are sick to believe or think that Flo(lol)yd is close to being better than Ali! heheheeeeee im not even gonna try and make you look ****** on this one. You did a great job of that all on your own!
And youre another one of them that wrote the book on what a true boxing Fan is huh? lol unless you think Floyd is great you are a true fan. If you dont..than youre not. lol Original! i guess you also walked on water after you wrote the bible of a true boxing fan!

Why does Floyd have to find someone to guarantee his purse?

While I don't know 20 people with $25 mill in the bank, I do know Floyd has that kind of money and he can guarantee his own purse, can't he?

Besides, what the hell is Arum doing to earn his money. Ain't he the promoter? Shouldn't he put up the money.

[Mr. Philadel]

So who are the lawyers here who think Floyd cannot change a date to another May date? Lawyers please. And IF Floyd cannot change the date and he disobeys the judge, how is that different from the time he did not show up in court when he disobeyed the judge?????? He wasn't getting 40 million to do that! And who is to say that Team Pac won't accept May 5th??

Arum will put up the money for Pacquiaos share, but why would he put up Floyds share unless Arum is his promoter?

Mayweather promotions is not a real promotion company. You gotta be dumb to garantee your own purse. If the fight is below expectations, then he takes a hit.

The 5th is for Mayweather The june 9th date is for Pacquaio.... If in the event they both cannot meet to terms. May5th is not a set date for Manny and Foyd in their negations. Floyd has his window for 5th...Manny has his for 9th of june.
Get a calender for a guide. Its easy to understand. They,re only 3 weekks apart. and all them fall in May! Makes no difference when in May.

It makes a difference when one of them goes to jail June 1, Mayweather is going to have to get ready for jail and that would be hard to do during training camp. Bob Arum and Pacquiao know its not realistic to expect him to go from the fight to jail in only a week or so.

MANILA — Manny Pacquiao on Thursday accepted US rival Floyd Mayweather's provocative challenge for a showdown of the world's top pound-for-pound boxers, though sticking points to the mega fight remain.

Naturally since Mayweather is locked into May 5th, Arum agrees to all of the terms he's asking for except the date. All Floyd would have to do to call their bluff would be to move the date he's willing to fight. I think Mayweather understands Arum wants nothing to do with him, although I'm not sure if Manny understands one bit of all of this or how he looks right now.

May 5th is the perfect date but Floyd Mayweather isn't the perfect opponent for Manny Pacquiao, in that he isn't a Top Rank fighter and he hasn't deteriorated enough.

Not only will Floyd get his guarantee, he will make a boatload more on top of it.

Very cool article describing Floyds business model in detail.
