Yeah an actual offer. Google for yourself. Some of us were actually following the sport in 2009 and remember. Now the revisionist theory is that he never got it. Take that bull**** elsewhere.

Well I stopped paying attention as long as there wasn't any headline saying that the contract was signed. The spin from each team made it impossible to gather an unbiased view on things.

Just for the sake of it, I can question your claim of a 50/50 offer (which would have been fair and absolutely the way to cut it), by doing a Quick search ob boxingscene:

First of all, you ain't no Charles Xavier. No one can read the man's mind. You don't know for sure that he feels or felt that way. Just because you think Floyd is unbeatable doesn't mean he does. Shoot, Pacquiao had all the ingredients to trouble Floyd: volume fighter with power, fast hands and feet, endurance, chin, awkward angles, and on top of that he's a south paw.

(Btw, I think Floyd/PAC at that time was a close fight, favoring Floyd but as for now, Pacquiao's wars took a lot out of him)

Look, you wanted a answer, you got it, and can not dispute it. If Bob Arum thought Manny had a chance to win, he would have made the fight back in 2010. Bob is a smart business man. Do you agree? If you do, then what other conclusion could you come to. 50/50 and a 14 day cut off. Nope, that is not good enough, let's go fight Joshua Clottey!! Sorry, that dog don't fly. Side Note: Forget about wanting a cut off date in the first place. Back on topic, you do not have to be a X-Man to see that Arum does not want to make the fight and never has. You do have to put bias aside to see the truth though. Lastly, Manny is a better boxer now in comparison to 2009/2010 in my opinion, because he knows he is not invincible. Manny feints more and has better technique and body movement. Even with that said, I never saw a close fight between Manny and FMJ. And I think one other person agrees with me, Bob Arum.

They didn't begin negotiating until Dec. 2009 so that link is a little too old.

Imho, we have developed technology/social media without devising a ethic or moral framework that represents our current values. Right now its open season on touching, feeling, and in many ways loving. The Internet is just an amazing place filled with knowledge and wonder, but its also filled with ice.

Maybe there are no sides bro, maybe there's us and a lot of misunderstanding?

what you mean misunderstanding about?

yeah internet is a beautiful thing
if we think about where the technology is heading, its kinda terrifying.

Analyzing only what you've said:
The bolded sentence is your thesis, yet you didn't support it with anything other than the fact that the fight didn't happen.
You say I can't see through my bias, which also doesn't support your argument, just filler. I referenced x-men cause you act like you know what Arum is thinking. You don't.
You say Manny has a better shot now than he did back in 09-10. And while you're welcome to have that opinion, I disagree. I think Mayweather will land punches regardless because he's just that accurate and prime Pacquiao had the killer instinct and mentality of taking punches to give harder ones. Then you say you never saw a close fight, more filler.
Lastly, you final sentence is just a repetition of the same song.

Looking at that article today just reaffirms that Bob Arum was never going to make the fight.

People misunderstand how communication works, how love works, its easy. Humans have a lot of potential for good or ill.

I feel Floyd on this. He just being health conscious. Attach Manny where it's safe, on a social network.

I did this a couple of years ago when I was scared of this motherf**ker who wanted to beat my ass. I used to clown him on Facebook where it was nice & safe.

**** works, yo.

[GRUSTLER]

Whoever thinks turning down 40 Million dollars you have never made before in your life is a sign that you want to fight are utter and complete Jack Asses. Considering Pacquiao was the one who said he would take the lesser share.

Damn Floyd its come down to this? At least go on ESPN and talk shyt instead hiding behind a computer screen posting pictures coward.
