Pacquiao vs Marquez III = 1.41m
Pacquiao vs Mosley = 1.3m

Total 2.71m

Mayweather vs Ortiz = 1.25m
Mayweather vs Mosley = 1.4m

Total 2.65m

Funny how everybody was saying this is a 50/50 fight only a few months ago.

Then cult leader Floyd announces it not 50/50 anymore and he deserves 100% of the PPV money, and the blind followers believe this now and completely forget about if Pacquiao takes the test the fight happens line.

It is shocking how gullible these people are.

If Floyd said the moon was made out of cheese theses guys would believe that too.

He said it wasn't going to be a 50-50 fight like 2 years ago. I think it was 60-40 then. This is why Manny came out in December and said that he was willing to take a smaller purse to fight Floyd. Look how fast that changed when Floyd called his bluff. But like I said like 10 post ago in which you ignored. Floyd offered a 50-50 awhile ago as long as Manny accepted his testing and Floyd stated that if Manny doesn't accept this offer then his next offer WILL NOT INCLUDE A 50-50. It then turned into a 60-40 split. Now fast forward to last year Manny says what "I am willing to take the test and take a smaller purse" Hmmmmm, Now think back to what Floyd said about his next offer not being a 50-50 and why Manny said he was willing to take a smaller purse. Look what happens with Cotto after he leaves Arum. He gets a 35-65 split. So you really think he won't give Manny something similar if he asked for it?

[Mr. Invincible]

Do you really believe what your saying? If Manny wanted this fight don't you think that he HIMSELF would be pushing for it hardcore when they put the mic in his face every time he wins a fight. Why not just do what Shane did to Floyd after Floyd beat Marquez? Why not be aggressive about it like say Sergio Martinez was against Chavez.Jr? Why does he say he will take a smaller purse then turns around and says it has to be a 50-50 after Arum says so? The fact that Manny is now saying he doesn't need Floyd tells you what(Same with Floyd)? He doesn't care about making this fight happen. They both aren't ****** and they both know they will make more money not fighting each other then doing so because they both keep winning and when one loses the stock goes down for that fighter. Its why TopRank loves to rob other fighters to protect their stars.

Manny can't push for a fight that the other party absolutely will not make and he isn't taking less than 50/50 when he's the lb4lb best in the sport.

Offering 40 million for a 50/50 fight that will generate at least 150 million dollars is all the proof that the boxing followers need to prove that Floyd doesn't want the fight. If that doesn't say it then publically saying he shouldn't take fights that the fans are pressuring him into so he doesn't wind up like Ali should. At least to a person not wearing Floyd's nut colored glasses.

Why do I have to repeat myself over and over again for you dweebs to get it?

No he didn't, don't lie.

Floyd ask for 50/50 and Manny kindly gave it to him, but Floyd brought up the blood test at the 11th hour to get out of the fight.

The fight was never a 50-50 with Floyd, if I remember correctly it was always a 60-40. He only then offered a 50-50 for Manny to take the blood testing. He then said if Manny doesn't take that offer then it would no longer be a 50-50 with the next offers down the line. Now here were are in 2011 and Manny now says he will take the test and take a smaller purse. That right there tells you what? Why would Manny bring up a smaller purse if Floyd always wanted a 50-50 up until now? Are we really forgetting what Arum has been saying ON VIDEO? Do we really need a reminder here?

[Mr. Invincible]

There's better fights out there in my opinion anyway.....I dont see Pac being competitive against Floyd to be ho est with you my dude...... Especially after how poorly he looked against JMM in his last outing....But in terms of making money, If Pac wants to get a 40 million dollar pay day for 36 minutes of work then he'll fight Floyd, and if he dont want to get paid 40 million dollars for 36 minutes of work and make half that, then he can go fight someone else....Business is Business and Floyd has the upperhand ....Sorry bud...now beat it

I tend to agree that Floyd probably beats Manny, but that doesn't change the fact that he's avoiding the fight and denying the public, which is my point in this thread from the get go.

You don't remember right then, maybe you should get your memory checked out, you also seem to be imagining things that never happened.

[Mr. Invincible]

This from someone who says Vitali has a good resume.

No, Vitali has a great resume. Not good, great. Let's not mistake that.

Being 14-2 (11) overall in hw title fights and barely losing a round in the last 9 years against mostly top ten opposition is testiment to that.

That said, Floyd has a great resume too, just not even close to Pac's ATG resume.

[Dr. Ill]

he does'nt want pacqauio, he never did..

No my memories are just fine thank you. You seem very emotional though. Then again you have been neglecting every duck and dodge trick Arum has been using and the fact that Manny sees Arum as his boss is pretty self explanatory. I find it funny that Manny has to be worked so hard just to even agree to take a drug test and there has to be all these rules if he does while Floyd agreed to every little demand that Manny gave him without question. Think about it, Floyd never complained about them demanding him to pay 10 million for every pound that he goes over 147 on the fight night but people can complain about Floyd asking Manny to take a blood test. Some people are too emotionally attached to fighters they don't even know in person. This fight has never been a 50-50 to Floyd except in that one offer Manny declined.
