Wow, it'd take to long to dissect all your statement since you seem to keep generalizing and name calling. I have never ever ever said 50-50 should've happened, now or then. Yet, you keep writing 50-50. Shut up already with that. I said 30-40% based on their earning power. Also, yes Mayweather made the most he'd ever made for a fight when he fought Ortiz (which was $25mil). Floyd wasn't even making 40$ mil. Jesus, like you said, you can't argue with facts.

As for the bolded, duh.

Dude, get over the "name-calling" thing, this is Boxing Scene. I used to cry like a little b1tch when people name called me here but as time went on I realized that there is the general mood here of incivility. Its too bad really because I like to have reasonable dialogues. My final point is that Manny deserves less than your figures, if Manny disagrees that's okay, he'll be doing it on principle because he has broke pockets right now, and as long as he's fighting for Arum they will never fill up.

Floyd, I'll pay you 200 Million to fight Pac.

This offer ^ is as legit as it gets - why? Because it's on The Internet and is being used by a Myriad of Morons.

'40 Million, No PPV, I don't work with Bob Arum, Take The Test, he got losses' < Attach this to any other fighter in History and you'd have people questioning the fighter, but with Floyd it's "Smart Business", and when that's shown to not be true ( Floyd and Smart - LOL ) it's that Floyd was misinterpreted or he 'wuz jus play'n' -

- Going further than that: It's Slander, Hatred, and outright ******ity.

You can go ahead and succumb to the "mood of incivility" and keep claiming you like to have reasonable discourse. Contradict yourself as you please. But let me leave you with my final point: 30-40% is the figure I felt was fair and I the low end (30%) I don't see how you can disagree? You think Floyd deserves 80%? 90%?

You're still a chicken, Floyd.
Give it up, doe.

You're not getting it bro, if two sides are needed for a negotiation to be successful why is it incumbent on only Floyd's side to negotiate? Why is the onus always placed upon Floyd while Arum (Pacquiao's brain) gets a free pass? I tell you why, because some fans are so shallow they get distracted by promotional gimmickry, half these folks that think Floyd is ducking are probably among the mentally challenged that thought "big time wrestling" was real too.

What Is being placed on Floyd that Is so overbearing that he cannot overcome, that will prevent the biggest fight of his career from happening? Why will he not have his team sit down and hash out a deal with Arum and make this fight happen In September 2014?

Funny but classless. If I were Manny I'll fight on May 03 instead of April 12 just to see who is the main attraction . Floyd Vs Khan will be boring that's for sure! It's a mismatch.. floyd will just toy khan, will look good, fans will yawn, win by decision. It's predictable! I'd rather see manny get knock out again than to see a boring fight.

I'm sorry Pacquiao is weak minded? Because he isn't as vocal or loud as Floyd is? Isn't as flashy and fly?

No not at all, he's "weak minded" because whenever he's asked after a fight who he wants next he says talk to Bob Arum, his promoter.

I recall watching a video before the Rios fight, where Manny says to the reporter he would very much like to fight Floyd, but Floyd's going to throw his belt in the trash, belts don't mean anything, Manny needs to KO Bradley, he's on A side meth, I'm a rich coward.

Belts don't mean anything to Mayweather and I'm not sure dominance like his is good for the sport. I don't think you should have one guy at the top, even Mayweather dictating what sanctioning bodies should do. When Floyd says he's bigger than the belts he inadvertently disparages all of the hardworking fighters out there trying to make a living plying their trade hoping for a shot at a title, not just Mayweather.

Mayweather's no coward, indeed he's exactly the opposite. But I disagree with Floyd, the belts mean something if for no other reason than some of his heroes fought and bled for them.

Nobody is knocking Floyd's success, but when you go on camera and say you're a rich coward then we will knock that.

Everything before a BUT is a lie.

You can go ahead and succumb to the "mood of incivility" and keep claiming you like to have reasonable discourse. Contradict yourself as you please. But let me leave you with my final point: 30-40% is the figure I felt was fair and I the low end (30%) I don't see how you can disagree? You think Floyd deserves 80%? 90%?

I didn't "succumb" to anything, I saw the realities and I adjusted. Reasonable discourse isn't always found here but its here. I love boxing too much to abandon this site and the fact is there are some amazing folks on here that know boxing and its a true joy to read their posts because I feel enlightened afterwards. It isn't a contradiction to acknowledge a reality here but know I desire more because I do, I just understand the reality and can live with it.
