Dude 50/50 when was this? Floyd never was going to give up half of anything..he said it himself countless times "I am the undefeated fighter, this isn't an even playing field. I don't think he deserves half". Pacquaio fought his greatest competition 4 times..this isn't the kind of guy to run from a tough fight or a loss..hell he got put to sleep by Marquez and wanted to do it again. So please take your bias uninformed azz on over to the noob fanboy section of boxing scene.

pac avoided the fight.He was offered 50% but he made the quacking sound after he ran away from the fight.

Who picked the damn theme song/score that was playing throughout the Documentary. Just horrible. I felt like I was watching the movie Armageddon or something. As if Floyd is about to save us from Asteroids crashing down on us.

I think that's the way they were trying to make Mayweather look. Like he's some misunderstood hero.

Different one. It's on ShowTime On Demand now.

WTF? I had no idea it was coming on so that is good ratings for something that wasn't really promoted

Pac didnt slip away , he ran as fast as could , even with a 50/50 offer in the biggest fight in history , what a ducking fake Manny is , but in the end karma sorted him out .

Of course you believe so but again your man didn't fight him, when they did say ok let's do this your man said "NO" out of his own mouth..HBO has confirmed this twice..

During the defamation lawsuit it was revealed that there was a contract sent to Pacquio that he never signed due to the testing procedures in the first round of negotiations in 2009.

Read the article, what happened when they did come to an agreement on testing? Mayweather walked away the two other times. I'm not knocking either man but to believe these guys were scared of each other is absolutely ******. Especially the belief that Pacquaio was scared of him..the guy had 3 losses on his record already and the loses have never hurt his popularity. If you also look at that contract as detailed as it is Mayweather conceeded nothing at all...he made the choice on everything from what toilet you can piss in to who gets introduced. This was an ego situation where neither guy wanted to give in to the others demands, that sole reason is why we were denied this fight. Any other belief is absolutely ludicrous.

If the fight does 1.5 million PPV's, you and the other haters on this site will claim the network is lying about the numbers. Nobody will lose on this deal in spite of what haters like you claim or want.

Is hater the new instant term for folks who cannot articulate an argument. I don't know what your argument even is. If they do 1.5 million buy good for them if they cannot reach that how does $50 million a fight to mayweather even make sense? That's pretty much the bulk of the ppv revenue after expenses...etc. That's all I was saying not sure where you are getting hater from. I don't hate mayweather, I don't even dislike the kid but assume your little head away.

Are people surprised it lost to nascar? Only thing that stands a chance of beating nascar is the nfl.

Of course you believe so but again your man didn't fight him, when they did say ok let's do this your man said "NO" out of his own mouth..HBO has confirmed this twice..

So you do realise Pac ran away from the fight in the only real negotiation they had , it was a blatant Pac DUCK .

Now saying testing is ok means nothing , talk is cheap he hasnt even done it for own fights but accused his opponents of PEDS when they said lets test Manny still wouldnt do it , Manny had a signed contract on the table from Floyd it only needed Mannys signature , but he turned it down and 50/50 in the biggest fight in history , because wait for it , a PEDS test , are you really that gullible ?

All the talk from Manny after originally ducking was to sell his BS to you fanboys so he could milk his CW special condition fights , when that caught up with him , he then calls out Cotto and ducked him without a CW , then he went of looking for 140 lb fighters and still got beat , he had the chance to lock in the Floyd fight in 2009 when it was at its biggest and Manny RAN !

Thats a fact that no matter how much Top Rank spin you want to put on it , the hard cold facts remain that Manny ducked a 50/50 offer for that fight .

Sorry kid you lose , step out of denial into the real world .
