Anybody???????

Why did Manny say he'd take less money than Floyd to make it happen??? Why did Koncz and Floyd BOTH say they never even discussed the money Manny would get on the backend, when Floyd offered him a 40 million guarantee??? Also, on a per fight PPV stand point, Floyd sells more than Manny.

Also, it's very hard to take ANYTHING you say seriously when you say jabs don't really count, Floyd shouldn't be in the HOF or an ATG.....

Why did floyd offer 14 day cut-off but then changed his mind? Why did he previously say money is no issue with this fight...but now it is? C'mon son, you really expect Manny (or Floyd) to give up tens of millions of dollars just because the other guy wants it?

well the counter question would be....isn't Manny doing just that 40 mil to 17 mil, I promise Floyds dropoff for Cotto is no where near that

Because Manny refused it so floyd stopped offering it as a compromise. Isn't that how business works?

Manny has the money issue. He wants more than $40 mil he wasa offered.

How is manny giving up money if he takes $40 mil?

Well, it is Cotto. Ok So Manny has to fight two times to get how much Floyd offered.... I don't really care about how much these guys make, I was just pointing out the ridiculousness of the "well manny said he'd take less" argument.

Pacquiao will stand to make 30 million plus from Bradley, think his guarantee will be over $25m

Floyd won't make $50m from the Cotto fight.

Wait, so when Manny offered less money, but Floyd didn't take it...isn't that how business works?

Oh, so your justifying what Floyd said because you knew this was the deal he was going to offer?

$50mil + PPV royalties > $40 flat. That's how he's giving up money, c'mon man.

This is what makes me wonder what people are thinking? And how can they not see whats right in front of them. I know this issue has been beaten to death....but during the original negotiations Manny demanded a lot, Floyd agreed to it all. Floyd wanted testing up until the day of the fight......the one damn thing Floyd wanted he compromised to meet them halfway at the 14 day mark.....they still walked away.

Yet Floyd didn't try to make it happen

But do the numbers suggest manny should get $50 mil plus ppv royalties? Manny deserves ppv royalties no doubt, but the numbers dont show manny deserves a 50/50 split.
