dumb..

How can floyd say he's only worried about him and his $$.. it's thanks to fans that he makes his money... so fans keep buying bull**** fights.. he's going to keep milking them for what they got.. he's not interested in the pacman fight.. i think i have it 4 excuses to 3 in favor of floyd.. so chalk up another unanimous win.. cuase other than that side blind (not a cheapshot) he hasnt ko'd anyone lately.. on the other hand there's the other fraud (frauds if you count arum).. who also keep milking the fans.. nobody wants to see bradleys head vs paquiao... but i dont know how mayweather can say he's the bigger draw.. he's probably got a couple fights on manny draw wise.. but manny is much more internationally known.. that's got to count for something.. i honestly lost the desire to see this fight.. i was a big floyd hater, even though i respected his skills.. just didnt respect his choice of opponents.. the biggest bs out of his mouth is how he's the main attraction.. but yet he keeps fighting fighters who's already established a fanbase, or are easy pickins champs.. no offense to cotto.. but he's too slow.. i dont know how he keeps talking about giving manny his highest paycheck.. but yet fighting manny would give him his highest paycheck... he's a duck.. manny's a puppet.. so it's a 50/50 soultion for fans and to please shut the *******s/*****s up!!

I never heard about a mega fight in boxing before where one fighter takes 100% of the PPV.
This is the nail in the coffin for Floyd, now I am convinced that he doesn't wanna fight Manny. I never heard about this "100% PPV" thing before, just came up these days when Floyd truly display fear in his eyes when someone talks about Manny.
PS. I'm neither Manny or a Floyd fan. just some reflection from someone who likes boxing and hates fighters ducking a good fight when they will be well compensated.

Who cares! I gave up on this fight long ago. IMO Floyd beats Pac by a wide decision. Pac only has a punchers chance in my eyes and many others and some are former Pac fans who jumped ship after JMM beat him and he was given a gift decision. that right there makes me believe Pac isnt worth the 50/50 anymore but oh well. Itll happen when Pac leaves Bob just like Cotto is now fighting Floyd. Bob tried to screw Floyd out of money back in the day so i can see him holding a grudge until he is gone. Sucks for the fans but like i said i gave up on this fight long ago.

By the way i wont be boycotting any fight. I will buy both and be happy to watch boxing. There is no buzz for Pac v Bradley though so I hope that picks up cause I heard ticket sales arent that impressive for this fight..at this time.

I myself, if I was Manny, should take the $40 million and nevermind the PPV and beat up Floyd and laugh at him afterward and have the joy of being the one sending him into retirement.

I agree. Take the money and call it a day but i dont think he has a shot at beating Floyd. Not at all IMO

Agreed 100% but I also understand if Manny passes on the offer. What I dont get is in 2009 there was a 50/50 offer on the table and Manny passed on it. What you dont do is leave the negotiating table that quickly. You make offers and counteroffers until you can find a number that both sides can live with.

Even you cant be that dumb. Roid accusations ring a bell? no?

I remember it and i also remember the reluctance to take the test for years to recently.

I think it happened when Arum kicked Montayo off the call for asking this question during the JMM v Pac conference call and Arum saying that they agree and all the media took off with it. Right after that is when May 5th came in.

If ever a fight(farce in this case) was evidence that fighters should not be allowed to promote their own fights then its this one.

I'm not one of those guys. I I answered your question the best I could. Niether you nor I know when purse split became an issue. My best guess is what I posted.

I'm not saying manny should take $40 mil nor do I think floyd should get $100 or all ppv.

If you say its an excuse not to fight, I don't agree. Floyd wants to fight but just wants all the money. Floyd needs to get over the fact he got shafted when the ODH fight sold 2.4 mil ppv and he didn't get what he should have.

And I'm saying the split shouldn't be an issue if it wasnt before. If the split is an issue now then yes that's an excuse. I see u have a very hard time admitting to it. It's cool to be a fan but there's a limit where u have to draw the line.

I agree split shouldn't be an issue now.

On December 17,2011 manny said he would accept less than 50/50 to make the fight. On March 1, 2012 floyd said he wpouldn't give manny 50/50. Is this correct?

So how is floyd making 50/50 an issue if manny already agreed to not take 50/50?
