    Well, we will see. If he doesn't resign then fine, the fight gets made. But if he does, I hope u will be just as harsh on him as you are on Mayweather.

    Wasn't Mosley, Tim and JMM making good money? It was nothing compared to what they would make fighting Pac, just like Pac's money will be nothing compared to what he would get fighting Mayweather. Come on now, you know this!

      there is also no way of knowing that for sure ahead of time. like i said atleast with TR manny is being told u're gonna get this much "xxx" with the potential of making more. u're asking manny who is the cash cow right now at TR to just get up and leave his contract to get a fight with floyd not knowing if he's even gonna get that fight and the amount he'll get. u compare that to shane and marquez, come on now.

      shane and marquez signing with TR to get a manny fight was the best thing that could happen to them in the situation they were in at the time. if manny stays with TR he'll still be making good money even if he doesnt get a fight with floyd. how much was shane and marquez making prior to signing to fight with manny?

      if floyd really wanted manny to leave then he better come up with a contract worth wild. when arum wanted shane and marquez to sign with TR to get a fight with manny, arum wasnt just talking, he got all legal documentation ready.
      Other than the foyd fights, I think each fighter made more to fight manny. which I agree justified their move. We may not know "for sure". But we know for sure Manny got a call from floyd and the offer was $40 mil guaranteed. we know for sure that is more than manny has ever made. I agree that floyd should present a contract, although TR didn't have a contract until after the conditions were met.

      My man, you seem ok with the practice in general.You seem to be ok with TR doing it but against floyd suggesting manny do it. You cite the money manny makes as a reason its bad for him even though there is CLEAR evidence he would make far more than he is making.

      That seems to be an incredible double standard. That would be my only problem with your take on this.

        I wasn't trying, you were. Maybe you should explain how the "relationship" (lol) changed between 09 and 2013.

          Asking the guy that carried boxing at the time to take drug tests with no proof or probable cause of being on peds because you're a pu55y don't give you the right to damage someone's name and accuse him of being on peds. He came back from "retirement" while the other Welters beat eachother up. And once it was safe and sound, Floyd comes back but when pacquiao demolishes hatton and beats cotto to a pulp, oh he on them "power pellets". Gtfoh. Defending this "rich coward is pathetic and all you desperate Floyd **** riders need to take them goggles off. It's obvious what happened. And why would pacquiao accept 40 mil flat fee no ppv cut? Lmao Floyd wasn't making no 40 mil at that time either! You dudes are WACK.

            But he didn't ask Manny to leave Bob and the fight is on right? Keep reaching and keep convincing yourself that is what youre saying is the truth.

              Still, he didn't mention about leaving TR.

                  How many olive branches are you supposed to extend to someone? In the past, you modify the testing for Manny and he still says no. Years later, you call and offer 40 million dollars. Top Rank is not in a position to offer Floyd anything so whatever 50 million Bob the Builder was talking is meaningless. They complain about fighting stateside because of taxes. In 2009, that is the closest that they've ever been as far as equal footing. Nowadays? It's no contest. Why can't Arum's son and Golden Boy talk, Floyd still has a great relationship with him. Remember that there was a contract signed back in 2009 and it was Floyd that signed it. Also, wouldn't you be less than confident in a person that agrees to the same thing that they disagreed with in the past, only because you got knocked out? Seems kind of sketchy to me. Floyd is not without fault here but here we are. Neither man is scared of the other, business got in the way.
                  But still he didn't ask Manny to leave TR and the fight is on.

                    Don't have to. I assume you can read, not sure about your comprehension. You blame Floyd, I blame Arum. Manny can dissolve all of this by becoming a free agent and negotiating a fight with FMJ without Arum. We agree?

                      But he (May) should have mention this TR shiat from the beginning so that we don't have to argue back and forth about the same shiat over and over again.
