And is this stadium going to be finished in time for June 9th? How is the construction going?

Exactly! They better fight in this arena that Bob Arum said he would build or else Team Pac's camp will look like they are full of ****.

55 - 45 = 10; 200 * 0.10 = 20

You really are being serious...smh...

[Mr Randy Watson]

Wow. They didn't want to give up the weight to cotto because they were scared of getting caught on the ropes?????? Im not buying pac or mayweathers fights. Ill watch the hbo replay. They can suk it... not getting my cash. The sad part is people are accepting these fights. That's why they aren't fighting eachother.

If you read what arum said. The stadium was only meant for the so called super fight that can bring in 40000 seating boxing fans. A super fight is only when the 2 best fighters are in there. Therefore it ain't happening if you have common sense you would have understood it doesn't make sense putting it up if it's not Floyd and pac in there fighting lol

floyd the coward has strike again , why do we even take this wifebeater seriously ?

keep ducking floyd , everybody knows now

I think this was a good interview and that Koncz gave honest answers. He also showed how things get messed up with Arum, (can't he just walk away from the sport?)

And the end of the day, it simply comes down to money. Floyd wanted to buy Manny out at a flat rate to collect as much of the pot of gold as he could. It's called maximizing the monetary potential. Floyd went for the lion's share of the money because he believes he's bigger than Manny. Perhaps if Floyd fought a bit more he would bigger. But at the moment- globally- Manny is more well known than Floyd Mayweather. There's all kinds of polls and rankings that indicate this. Yet in Floyd's own mind- and surrounded by yes-men- he's the biggest draw because of the way he rigs up some stats. Everyone knows stats can be manipulated to say a lot of things.

Why didn't Floyd go for the 55 % of gross revenue if he believed he was going to win? Maybe because if the fight could gross 200 million, Manny taking a guaranteed 40 million means Floyd takes around a 70% split, (approx after who ever else gets their cut. 55% of 200 is 110. 70% of 200 is 140.
A difference of 30 million. Keep in mind the numbers have some flexibility (I'm not a boxing lawyer with a financial negotiating experience, just a stoned Canadian sitting on my couch)

Point is, at the end of the day- it's all about the cash and the ego. Manny, ironically perhaps, is not asking for a bigger piece than Floyd- which even Teddy Atlas said he could easily do with justification- he just wants a fair split. Floyd, in believing he is the man acts like a king on a throne.

Myself, I'll give this whole thing one more shot- if they don't fight in November, **** them both.

So winner takes 55-45 deal was offered and rejected??

I dont know who to believe.

Koncz is a clown. In a few words he fcked shht up. for example, him saying that him nd mayweathere were talking "general stuff" DUDE ur giving details about everything else, why not be explicit about the whole convo? I also caught him in a few other places, but ill leave that out in the air for the logic ppl nd credible ppl to also agree. *******s will be on the attack heavy on this. Plain and simple, Pac spoke to Floyd, nd things didnt work, after May fcked em in the ass wit his tweets. YET, Pac's team didnt do anything about it. This is a joke, enough about Pacquiao, he aint no king, he aint nothing.

Actually, im gonna give the benefit of the doubt, UNTIL I hear voice recordings

Mayweather's all mouth. He beats Pacquiao hands down with his mouth.

But if you step back and look, you know who has been preventing this fight from happening.

1. At the beginning people thought the fight was almost signed, 50/50 was ok with Mayweather. Everyone thought the fight was on, including Pacquiao, then he throws a curve ball, the OSDT. Pacquiao agrees to 28 day cutoff, Mayweather says 14 days. No fight.

2. Second round of talks, Pacquiao agrees to the 14 days, Mayweather changes his mind, it was ok before but now it's not, why? Again no fight.

3. Pacquiao finally agrees to whatever Mayweather's testing demands are. Mayweather throws another curve ball, 50/50 used to be ok, now it's not, why? Again no fight.

If you look at the common denominator here, someone has been consistently throwing curve balls and road blocks from making this fight. While the other guy keeps making concessions to those demands to try and make the fight.
