Where Xylocaine is banned as well.

True. But since they don't test for it, how would they know its being used?

[The Big Dunn]

Pacquiao offered up a $50m guarantee for Floyd 45/45 split plus 10% to the winner.

Thats is Floyd's biggest pay day, but Floyd turned it down.

What was the point of doing that when you are asking floyd for a 50/50 split?

But manny isn't the promoter, Bob is so he can't offer anything.

theres a big difference between TAKING LESS and being shafted...no part of the money generated from the PPV sales? i consider not having any part of the PPV sales as being shafted...why dont mayweather take 40mil and no PPV money?

Because he actually spends his own money on promotions for his fights?

Show me a link stating that Xylocaine is banned in Texas.

Well because Pacquiao and Clottey were urine tested before and after their fight and Xylocaine would have shown up in the results if they had used it.

Bob okayed the guarantee.

Why would Floyd turn it down, it was his biggest pay day ever.

As I understand it testing is done only if the sanctioning body requires.o if there is no requirement, then no test. Hence, xylocaine wouldn't come up. Besides, its not a performance enhancer like steroids but hey I get your point.

FYI, David Haye is making the same case for a 50/50 split with Vitali as Manny is with floyd. Without me you wont make as much. Vitali's response is the same as floyds.

Pacquiao was and still is WBO champ and they require it. Urine tests before and after the fight.

With Xylocaine, you can punch, block, parry without any pain in the slightest. Pain control is important in boxing.

Obviously, as a promoter floyd brings in other revenue that he wouldn't as justa fighter as manny is. So obviously floyd as a promoter is going to pay himself more than bob would so your argument it would be his highest payday is not true.

Manny as just a fighter is going to have to pay Bob no matter what so he is a victim of his deal.

As I said before just run all the economic numbers and split it like that. Thats the fairest way.

True. But clearly its not a performance enhancer so its a moot point.

Interesting how David Haye is ridiculed for his wanting 50% but Manny isn't.
