That offer was no offer.
The lottery example was just to make you understand how what you said was incorrect. If the jackpot grows then the amount a fighter makes should grow proportionally. Manny was making more proportionally compared to his opponents. Did Floyd use that calculation?
Manny countered with $45 mill and was even willing to do $50 ....why did Floyd refuse? Because 5 or 10 mill more is peanuts compared to what they could have made.
Offer was not serious by both sides but Manny was willing to give in a bit. Not Floyd! Floyd wanted it all to himself .... actually tried to derail it altogether!
Be honest about the offer and evaluate manny's actions the same way you do his potential opponents.

But in 2011, Richard Schaefer reached out thru Judge Weinstein (the same judge who was mediating Manny's defamation lawsuit against Manny) to Arum to make the fight. Judge Weinstein CONFIRMED that Arum and Koncz informed him they were not interested in negotiating a fight with Mayweather and Manny. But see, as a Pacquiao fan, those little FACTS dont matter. You just want to say its Floyd fault when there is overwhelming evidence that Arum has come up with a ton of excuses (we need to build and outdoor stadium) for the fight not happening and Manny only talks about fighting Floyd when he has a fight signed. Where was this talk before he signed the fight with Bradley? Just.....think about it
You are asking far too much...

When you offer someone a flat rate of 40 million, and no PPV %, how is that a good offer?
That offer was bull from the start. Don't twist things in Floyd's favor. You're not a real Manny fan. And don't come back at me, and call me a *******. It's not a good offer.
