50 Cent goes into intimate detail about Floyd/Manny negotiations

[straightleft]

Gotta love how you guys make this **** up. Floyd agrees to ALL of Mannys demands, manny walks away but Floyd is the one moving the goalposts?

******ation at its finest

Pac is next but I never said that.
My health comes first before Pac.
I want 100% of the PPV sales.

The PEDS test was on the very first draft given to Top Rank , at the time Roach said it was not a problem , then Floyd agreed to everything they wanted including 50\50 and a ****** 10 mill weight forfeit when Floyd had never come close to missing 147 .all to try and force Floyd to back out , Floyd agreed to everything and then Team Pac said no to the blood tests , they knew about those tests from the first draft but after Floyd agreed to all their demands they then use it to run out on the back of the ped test .

Mannys side blatantly ducked the fight at that time when they were offered the best pay they were ever going to get , 50/50 with Floyd , and they knock it back , there is no doubt about it they ducked Floyd !

Don't forget ring size, 8oz gloves and who comes into ring first.....Floyd met every demand and manny walked over blood tests.

Floyd is a well known ducker not only to Pac. The fact that he faked his retirement to duck Prime younger Mosley, prime younger Cotto and prime younger Margarito tells you everything. He was called by ESPN a duck on US TV so everybody knows he is a chicken. LOL

Holy crap where do you get this X file stuff from.....maybe u need to watch the interview with Mosley after Vargas fight in reference to Mayweather.....also prime Cotto go read the Bob Arum interview from 2005.....ref Margarito same 2005 Bob Arum interview.

Facts: Mosley said he would not fight Mayweather due to a vacation and his tooth hurting, he also stated there was no chance for Mayweather to get a fight with him...larry merchant is asking him.

Facts: Arum said he was trying to build up Cotto more so he could have a Leonard/Duran type fight between the two. He then goes into a three fight deal he was trying to get Mayweather to sign. He said Mayweather accepted the 8 mil to fight Margarito and wanted 10 mil to fight Cotto or Hatton...Arum offered 6 mil.......Mayweather asked for 20 mil for DLH...he basically told Mayweather no...which is when Mayweather bought out his contract

[check hook]

look, doesn't matter if Pac accepted 50/50... floyd would've came up with something else to stop the fight

keep jerking your tiny little pecker son....50/50 was on the table for Manny to take, agreed upon and in writing. He's the one that ran away to fight Clottey after Floyd accepted his absurd weight penalty which was a ploy to get out of negotiations to begin with.

I really don't care if Floyd didn't want to give him 50/50 or anything after that. The initial negotiation after Floyd beat JMM and Manny beat Cotto is when this fight held the most meaning and also when it was actually being negotiated and close to being made and it was Manny and his crew who bowed out.

Wow we're still debating this

When we look back at this YEARS from now it will be revealed that Floyd ducked this fight. Some of you guys don't remember all the details but just so you know Manny agreed to testing during the FIRST negotiation. What wasn't agreed to was the cut off date. Manny wanted a 10 (or 12) day cut off but Floyd said no. Remember they even got a mediator involved to help get the fight made. So Floyd would not agree to the cut off date, but the funny thing is it was revealed later that USADA stopped testing Mosley 12 days before the their fight also.

Then there were 2nd negotiations that Ross Greenberg even confirmed but Floyd decided to go on "vacation". Then the last round of negotiations in which Floyd made a ridiculous offer knowing Manny would decline it.

It's funny how most boxers seem to agree that Floyd is the one who avoided this fight. The reason I bring this up is that most active boxers know what goes into fight negotiations. Roy Jones even said that if Floyd had intentions to fight Manny he would not have let him fight all those dangerous fights and risk his payday. Think about that for a minute. Someone who calls himself money, say he fights for money, flashes it, etc. Is presented with a 200mil offer after all is said and done, and he walks away from it.

This will follow Floyd for the rest of his career. He knows it, and so do his fans. That's why they get so worked up over this debate.

And just so you know, I am neither a Floyd or Manny fan. I am a boxing fan, and for the record I thought that Floyd would win if he had fought Manny.

-end rant.

Those facts always gets ignored. The first time around was the only time that the fight could had got done. PED testing by the Pac camp stopped it from happening. It doesn't erase it when years later they say they will take it (awaiting a statdium to get built also). Roach even went to say that they were not ready for a Floyd fight anyway.

After the first time for negotiations both camps have been so far apart and making so much money that the two egos won't compromise. This fight will never happen

He also walked away after Floyd met all of his demands, maybe you are the one who doesn't remember

Yep - then Arum set up the Clottey fight within a few days (which was a bomb) because they didn't want to continue the negotiations with Floyd. Floyd was even calling Manny a "punk ass" and doing what he could to make the fight, but Arum, Roach, etc, we're all ducking for one reason or another.

You're facts are wrong and your bias against Floyd is evident. First rd it was obviouis Floyd wanted the fight more than Manny's side, and later on, it was perfectly clear that Arum wanted no part of this. And Floyd offering Manny 40 million dollars doesn't look like such a bad offer now, does it?
