It is amazing how things have changed since 2010

So you're saying instead of fighting Pacquiao, which in term probably does higher numbers than the Canelo fight did or about the same, netting him a lot more money...He should instead fight a guy like Khan or Garcia doing similar numbers to what the Guerrero fight did, and for less money on the PPV? Also please provide a source saying he took home "close to 100 mil" against Canelo.
It's clear that Floyd is cashing out in these last few fights obviously. It's what you do when your career as at an end. So since Pacquiao is such an easy one dimensional hypejob who got laid out by a guy Floyd already beat, why not take it if it nets him the most money?
The hype for that fight is obviously not at it's peak anymore, but that doesn't mean it'll bomb. If it had happened in 09-10 it would have broken the record without a doubt. After Pac destroys Rios the casuals are drawn back in and I wouldn't doubt it if it did more buys than the Canelo fight.Last edited by thuggery; 10-01-2013, 04:25 AM.Comment

Topic's beaten to death
Manny never agreed to testing!
Manny will never ever earn $40 mil off of one fight.
Floyd wanted testing because a former member of mannys camp told him he was a cheat.
He might've been crude the way he went about demanding tests but he obviously wasn't wrong if the same guy that refused them now wants the same.
Forget about this fight ever happening.Comment

He should fight Manny I hope it happens. He guranteed to make 32.5 mil no matter if he's fighting me next. While Manny is the most lucaritive fight out there only a fool would deny that its also the most difficult fight to make. They couldn't get pass egoes when they both was fighting under the HBO umbrella so it's going harder now with one on Showtime the other on HBO. How do you post articles? I said he could make 100 mil for the fight not he did.So you're saying instead of fighting Pacquiao, which in term probably does higher numbers than the Canelo fight did or about the same, netting him a lot more money...He should instead fight a guy like Khan or Garcia doing similar numbers to what the Guerrero fight did, and for less money on the PPV?

Mannys politics are another topic.Perhaps he should have made his statement dressed in Top-Hat and tails at a luncheon hall on Wall Street???

The result was the same its just Mayweather's style doesn't appeal you.
Aw shucks I guess Manny going into politics and screwing over his own countrymen works for you?
I'll simplify: Did Floyd state testing should be mandatory for the good of the sport?
Or did he single out Pac and insinuate he was a cheat by demanding he take blood tests?
From what i recall, it was Floyd snr who said in a video straight after the Pac-Cotto fight, he didnt want Floyd fighting Pac because he felt Pac was on something.
Then Floyd made it a big issue.
The fact the issue went to court and became a legal matter strongly suggests Floyd made unproven allegations against Pac.
He wasnt wrong? Pac has never been proven to take anything illegal. If what u are saying is he was right that drug testing should be improved, he just wanted to slander Pac. And thats what he did.Manny never agreed to testing!

Where was his crusade for testing throughout the sport?Last edited by The Noose; 10-01-2013, 04:46 AM.Comment

Well shit I just got owned here. I didn't think he'd be taking home that much. It does say it would have to tally above 2.5 mil for him to take home that much though. And I agree with how hard it was to negotiate even when they were both on HBO... It's just ridiculous how this fight was never madehttp://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbade..._medium=social here's the link you asked forComment

Yep there ego's killed it they seemed to me they rather win at the neg table than in the ring cause neither is scared of the other both have ego's the size of Jupiter. Now its just a pissing contest and personally if it doesn't get made it won't bother me it just doesn't mean as much it would have in Mar 10 when it was supposed to happen.Comment

Yeah I take 40 flat while u get the rest. Floyd woulda got probably triple that. Only dummy woulda took that deal.Not half as funny as Manny refusing to do drug testing during his "peak", then turning down a career high payday of $40,000,000, but not before he felt he deserved 50/50-which isn't even plausable considering who draws bigger ppvs and numbers.
The only way this fight happens is if it is their final fight and Manny realizes that he is not worth close to what he thinks he is.Comment

Well its a little strange that manny waited until he knew he would pass a test before he agreed to the test!!! He even said he was afraid of needles lol!!! But on the other hand i also found it strange that floyd didnt take the fight after manny finally agreed to the test floyd should have just taken the fight but it was manny who wanted the 14 day cut off which was strange again!! IMO 14 days is plenty of time to cycle back on whatever he was taking!!! But all in all I think Manny and Floyd are equally to blame for this fight not happening!!!it was just a bluff. he threw a lot of sh-it against the wall and hoped it would stick. he found something for a while until pac called his bluff and floyd ran which settled the issue of who really wanted the fight and it wasn't floyd. remember first it was 14 days, then 0, then 0 percent of the ppv! floyd would have changed his other demands if pac agreed back then. we have actual evidence of this because it happened. have fun living in fantasy world where real events don't matter.Comment
