Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Talks Pacquiao, Retirement, Jail, More

[D4thincarnation]

I just sent a link in my last post with a timeline of the events of this fight trying to be put together and its ignored. I will say it again. Floyd never agreed to a 50-50. It wouldn't make ANY sense for him to agree to a 50-50. This is why Manny came out at the end of last year and said that he was willing to take a smaller purse.

Promoters of both fighters were due to visit the new Dallas Cowboys stadium on Wednesday, but Mayweather's camp pulled out at the last minute.

First Mayweather tried this road block.

Another one of those suedo interviews made up from 3 interviews , it must make good money to feed hype .

Floyd offer was 60-40.

If his original offer was 60/40, then he wants none of this fight. He has zero interest in it. None, nada, blank.

Which is why the fight is not happening. Helloooo!

The point I am making is that they claim that Floyd always wanted a 50-50 so that Manny has "agreed" to take the test his next excuse would be the 50-50 when the ENTIRE time he never agreed to a 50-50 except for his offer to Manny at specific time of the 14 day cutoff offer that Manny declined. Manny's team stopped talking about the split and focused on the blood testing for some odd reason. Floyd offer was 60-40.

Manny Pacquiao has signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in boxing's biggest fight on March 13, a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com on Friday night.

Mayweather
Pacquiao


Pacquiao and promotor Bob Arum met for two hours Friday to discuss the proposed deal, according to Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz, who told The Associated Press that "Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn't think was a problem.

"The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn't feel it's a problem and it's pretty much a done deal," Koncz said.

Later Friday it became a done deal, at least on the Pacquiao side, when he signed the paperwork, the source said.

Mayweather had previously agreed to terms with Golden Boy Promotions, his promoter for the HBO PPV fight, but it was unclear if he had signed a contract.

The source also disclosed other aspects of the fight, which will take place at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds for Pacquiao's title and match the top two fighters in the world, pound-for-pound.

The camps agreed to a 50-50 split of the money, which could be gargantuan. Many experts expect the fight to eclipse the all-time pay-per-view record for sales, which is the 2.44 million buys generated by Mayweather's 2007 victory against Oscar De La Hoya.

Both fighters will wear 8-ounce gloves but each fighter will be allowed to select the brand of gloves he will wear for the fight.

For promotional purposes, the bout will be referred to as Mayweather-Pacquiao, but Top Rank will receive first billing over Golden Boy throughout the promotion.



No mention of the blood test as yet, Manny has signed the contract is on it's way to Floyd, but does Floyd sign, no he demands blood tests at this point.

Originally Pacquiao said 60/40, Floyd demanded 50/50 and Manny gave it to him because he wanted the fight.

It is clear who actually want the fight and who doesn't.

What makes you think that? 60-40 is not bad at all. IMO it should be a 50-50 as far as fighters go but when then PPV records go into play then Floyd is doing what Oscar did to him in which I can understand why he doesn't want this to be a 50-50. People love to keep forgetting about Manny saying out of his own mouth the end of last year ON VIDEO that he was willing to take the smaller purse to fight Floyd until Arum stepped in and said NO it will be a 50-50 or nothing at all.

And this is your counter attack?

Shows that from the very beginning Floyd try everything to put a stop to this fight.

Why agree to go to cowboys stadium then pull out at the last minute.

Floyd tried to make negotiation difficult so the fight would not happen.

Because he does not want this fight.
