    So the time they had drinks and a chat together in Dalas was just for the cameras.

    Even if he does hate him, is that more important to him than boxing. Take care of your own business.

    Pacquiao and Arum have a contract, that ain't going to change anytime soon, Floyd knows this, so why go down this route.


    How many excuses are you willing to listen to from Floyd, they keep on getting more and more obscure but you guys keep on eating it up.

      Instead of the amount the fighters make, people should concentrate on how much each fighter brings to the table...The point is that both fighters generates the same amount of revenue, and that should just be the sole reason on determining the split..

      Bottomline if Floyd demands a more than 50% share, then he really is dodging this fight... And that is how most neutral fans, the media would look at it..
      But most people and media would be wrong, because the purse split is not between Manny and Floyd. The purse spit is between Floyd and Bob. And it is sorry that most fans cannot realize that. Perception might lead people to believe that Floyd is ducking by asking for more of than 50% but the truth is Manny and Floyd are not on equal ground to begin with. That is reality, no perception. The two bosses are Floyd and Bob. Manny is Bob Arum's employee. Golden Boy and Al Haymon is Floyd's employee. Manny Pacquiao needs to get his money from Bob, not Floyd. Those numbers show that Manny is not in charge of anything. And Floyd is ****** for even talking to Manny. Manny cannot put pressure on Bob to make to fight. And Bob Arum has been more than clear that he is not interested in making this particular fight. So if Bob is not interested, then the fight will not get made.

        It's not even about excuses though. One side is clearly being taken advantage of, and that's just not right. How are the hell are we in 2012 and seeing someone get ripped off so badly?

          And why is that Mayweather's problem.


          Maybe Floyd should investigate the low wages in India and China or even in the USA where a lot of people get taken advantage of, if he that interested in financial injustice.

          Romney only pay 13% tax, get Floyd on the case to deal with that too.

            It matters because the guy that is ****ing over the fighter is the same guy that prevented him from fighting Oscar De La Hoya back in the day. This just can't simply be ignored, it's an important piece to the puzzle.

              What Pacquiao does with his money is his business not Floyd's. If Pacquiao give Arum a cut for promoting then it is Pacquiao's decision not Floyd's.

              And when did Arum stop Floyd fighting Oscar?

              It is excuses, nothing to do with boxing.

              What next Floyd doesn't want Roach training Pacquiao because Freddie bad mouthed his father.

              Floyd is a joke.

                I don't see how that Roach reference compares. We're talking about the biggest financial fight in the history of boxing. Put yourself in Floyd's shoes, would you really be comfortable giving Arum so much more than Pacquiao?

                  Roach gets 5-10% cut.

                  Why does it matter what Pacquiao does with his share, Floyd should get 50% and he can do with it what he wants just as Pacquiao can do with his share what he wants.

                    That said, those are very low guarantees, relative to the money he generates.
                    No it is sad I don't give a **** how many millions he is making a hard working man is getting short changed by a greed prick who sits in an arm chair watching his minions beat their health out of one another.

                    People should be disgusted by what's happening, not happy (If they are a Floyd fan) or defensive (If they are a Manny fan).
