Then what was Mayweather doing try to negotiate with Pac without having Arum present and on Twitter no less??

Just Being a Publicty PU55Y...Had no belief that his Nonsense Offer would FLY!!!

You didn't answer the question of why the terms were made in the first place... there's a very thin line between fair and ****** terms when it comes from Mayweather's PR (it's more ****** than fair).

I don't know. But I know manny refused any compromise and then agreed 6 months later after floyd said 0 or nothing. So I have no problem with floyd deciding to take the same rigid stance. How you or anyone can is beyond me.

did team pac agree to fight on may 5th ?

[iNDOSMOKE]

why would someone keep changing his demands after another if he truly wants this fight??? all i know is u take the test we got a fight! i guess that was all a lie

Same Rigid Stance.

Maybe you should look those words up in a dictionary don't think you know the meaning of them.

Wrong....Team Pac never offered that because Team Pac dont call any shots. Bob Arum calls the shots for Manny Pacquioa so if you could, please post the link to your credible source where it says that Bob Arum offered this type of deal....I know I'll be waiting for a very long time but go ahead and post it if possible.

Arum is Team Pac's Contractual, alter ego...******O!!!

even tho he isnt prepared to budge from 40 mil?

If rigidity relative to negotiation is an indicator of not wanting fight, considering manny's has adopted the same, you must reach the same conclusion about him wanting fight. I think both want to fight but both want to dictate terms. Since floyd is the slightly larger draw, and historically the larger draw, regardless of gap, sets the terms, IMO floyd should get to make terms.

Of course they should be reasonable. SInce manny has turned down both the fair and the unfair, they should be able to meet in the middle somewhere between $40 mil no ppv and 50/50.

I think manny can take less to make fight happen like floyd did ODH.

Floyd made 65 million to fight Shane so why would he accept 50 million from Bob Arum? Manny's total networth is 26 million dollars.....from a business standpoint he's not on the same playing field as Floyd..... Bob Arum is taking all of his money anyway

Do you have something to back that claim up? I'll wait.

The purse split has nothing to do what Manny and Arum will do on their cut.
If you really want to know, fighthype has the article on how Arum and Manny splits their take.

floyd made 40 mill for mosley and i think 25 for marquez.did team pac agree to fight on may 5th?

[maguirre]

So if its ok for manny to not b udge, why are you here asking floyd to budge? Thats what I don't get. You essentially want manny to get his way. Yet you complain when floyd acts like that. Makes no sense.

Make a compromise where floyd gets more and manny gets more than $40 mil no ppv.

If I were his adviser, Pac should get more. He's the real superstar. Floyd has been in cloud nine riding in Pac's popularity ever since the potential fight started flying around. I cringe when I hear a defensive, unexciting boxer making these kinds of offers, to be honest.
