You're right, it's not about making offers. It's about turning them down, fighting someone else and then getting your low brow fans to pretend you really wanna fight. Do me a favor, add specific examples to your post. Cuz in my world, 50-50 is not a ridiculous offer.

50/50 was a good offer, but the negotiations were dragging out over the cutoff, and Pac needed to make a fight asap to start campaigning for his 1st run for congress. As soon as he won, they went back to Floyd with a smaller cutoff (7 days?), then Floyd went on a lengthy vacation without a trace. Left Ross Greenburg confused, he thought progress was being made.

what does have to do with floyd being a *****?

It has nothing to do with Floyd being whatever you want to call him. However, regardless of whether you want to accept it or not, the ridiculng post by Floyd's team is accurate. Floyd did offer Pac $40 million, which is twice as much as Pacquaio has ever made, even when you add in the PPV revenue he has received from his fights. He then went on to fight Bradley for an $8 million guarantee and then Marquez for a $6 million guarantee. Now, after his tax troubles were revealed, Pac is on record as stating that he would try to talk to Mayweather about a fight.

If Floyd wasn't willing to give him 50/50 in 2012, he damn sure won't give Pac 50/50 after two losses, including a devastating knockout. In fact, it is doubtful that he would offer Pac the $40 million he offered him in 2012. So, any way you look at it, Pac fuc.....ked up by turning down two offers, one unofficial and one official. Your irrational, emotional, name calling posts won't change that.

Manny turned down 50-50 in 2009/2010. From that point, Floyd sold far more PPVs while Arum was refusing to release Manny's numbers. We also learned that Manny's guarantee was far smaller than what Arum was spewing. So, in short, Manny turned down 50-50 then another career high payday two years later. Now he's nowhere near that level. So I'd say the only one making excuses is the one who kept turning down offers (me no likey blood drawn blah blah) and fighting for far less.

Assuming Dan Rafael's "sources" are accurate even though Schaefer said a contract never occurred, read the article again. Did Manny sign? Yes. Does signing mean he turned it down? I will let you figure that out.

How is 50/50 a low ball offer for JMM?

WHendid he offer him that? I'm pretty sure he didn't start at that offer but floated it after his ppv numbers sank. Get it-he needs JMM to make that money so JMM's leverage increased.

In the end thats all this is about. Manny played his hand strong but wrong and put himself in this position.

I feel kinda of embarrassed for Mayweather because it just makes him look worse for ducking Pac. You'd think he'd avoid the subject altogether.

how can u duck someone when you offered 40 million has pac ever even made 30?

[kingfaze19]

didnt floyd said people need to be more positive when his ''lil bro'' got smashed. i dont get it, if you have no intention of fighting pac then dont mention him. $40 million with no percentage of PPV is a crappy deal on a fight of this magnitude. manny can clearly get on floyd level and put out a meme of him beating down his baby mama, this is classless.

Damn, Jr? I was just starting to respect you again.

This just proves that Floyd is still a disrespectful ****** piece of ****, just like his entire entourage. You want the other fighter to not only leave his promoter, but than take a smaller cut in doing so, yet you post ****head memes on the internet instead of making the fight.

I appreciate you as fighter Floyd, but you keep proving that no matter how much wealth you accumulate you're always going to have that lowlife crutch/ victim mentality that our culture loves. You can't stand the fact that you're only popular in the lowest of circles and that Pacquiao despite his money problems is still more well liked around the world than you. Typical behavior. Just like Broner.

Don't post dumb **** on the internet. STFU and just make the fight happen.

Another coward ass, racist b!tch.

Manny refused-you justify it.
