Dicaprio in my opinion.

DEFINITELY Dicaprio. That guy impresses me almost every time he takes to the screen.

[Larry the boss]

obvious lies,it's all Floyds fault,Arum even tried to build a stadium to make this fight happen...why couldnt floyd just ask the judge to push his jail date back again???

Working with Quentin Tarantino, I expect Dicaprio to get nominated and maybe win an Oscar for this upcoming role:

I like this thread.

Floyd will be 37 one and a half years from now. If this fight doesn't happen in 2013 Floyd will be known as the biggest duck in the history of the sport. You'll look like an idiot if you say Arum ducked the fight.

Pick up the phone, Floyd.

How can you continue to say that? especially in a thread that show's that Floyd isn't ducking...you pac fans are something special really.

oh so this is the post big dunn is talking about...well it is ******.

while it's true that 15% of 100 million is 15 million, the 65 and 35 million doesn't make sense at all. 65 less 35 = 30 million which is 30% of 100 million.

a 15% difference in a 100 million total purse should be 57.5 million to 42.5 million.

Not quite. If Floyd is to make 15% more than Pac, and they're splitting $100m (would likely be a lot more), the split would be 53.5/46.5.

In the first and only negotiation, the one that had Schafer and Arum in the same room these terms were agreed to:

- A 50/50 split right down them middle
- 8 oz gloves, fighters choice
- standard ring
- MGM Grand and March 13th or May 5th
- Mayweather's name first for prmotional paraphenalia
- Mayweather walks into ring second.
- A 10 million dollar penalty for any pound Mayweather weighs in over 147.

All of these terms were agreed to by both parties. During the negotiation of these terms team MP knew about Team Mayweathers desire for additional PED testing. It was not thrown into the negotiation after these terms were agreed upon. IT WAS THE FINAL TERM TO BE AGREED ON, and in actuality Freddie Roach indicted they would agree a month beforehand.

Manny wanted a 30 day cutoff, which then went to 24 days, Floyd countered with 14 days, and they said no. So again this was the deal that was rejected:

- A 50/50 split right down them middle
- 8 oz gloves, fighters choice
- standard ring
- MGM Grand and March 13th or May 5th
- Mayweather's name first for prmotional paraphenalia
- Mayweather walks into ring second.
- A 10 million dollar penalty for any pound Mayweather weighs in over 147.
- 14 day cut off for OST

Now if i'm Floyd and i do all of this in good faith (against my own judgement and greed) and the other guy turns it down, would i be so generous as to offer it again????

Bump this ^^^^^^^ so everyone can read the only contract that was ever negotiated. Since then Floyd has continued to sell more ppvs and garner a bigger guarantee and pay out from those ppv's

[Gino Ros]

I couldn't believe when the midgets jumped all over that "stadium" story.

[J Dubb II 330]

DLH - May sold 2.4 mill ppv and generated an estimated 120 million dollars.
They as a whole received 77 million out of that 120 (64% of the ppv revenue)

If Floyd is asking for 55/45 and guarantying Manny 40 Mill(no ppv)
Floyd is guaranteed to make 50 million
Which in total is 90 million dollars.

If you go by the % of the ppv revenue of 120 million at the rate of 2.4 million buys at the cost of 49.99

The Manny - May show down would have generate 140 million at the rate of 2.33 million buys at the cost of 59.99

And that is just to pay both fighters guaranteed money.

There really is no significant ppv revenue to receive over Mannys guaranteed 40 million dollars

So its a solid deal that Manny turned down.
