40 million fair deal or a bad joke(debate)?

Just like you slurp up whatever Floyd serves you. It's easy to see this **** for what it is when you aren't emotionally invested in one of the fighters.

Says the Amir Khan hugger.

So Floyd is just supposed to leave whatever the initial offer was on the table indefinitely until Team Pac decided to accept? That seems pretty unreasonable. You don't turn down a transfer offer for a player and then call the team back two years later and expect the exact same terms regardless of circumstance.

Why not????

Right so in one year, it changed from 50/50 to 100/0.

Seems legit.

The only 2 official and factual offers that were made were when Pac refused both of them.
First 50/50 with testing wasn't good enough for Pac, then a few years later after losing to Bradley (before getting violently ko'd by JMM) Pac said he is willing to take a smaller cut-obviously because there was proof on who was selling more ppv buys.

Floyd offered him a guarantee of $40,000,000 and later said it wasn't enough-even though they never discussed the back-end (ppv split, attendance,etc).

In all truth and fact, Manny walked away from 2 of the biggest paydays that were offered to him-no amount of money will get him to fight Floyd-how much and what exactly will it take to get him to agree??????

Notice how Floyd isn't even responding to Bob's and Manny's media shenanigans? He's letting them talk the media to death about wanting a fight.

Pacquiao would be damn lucky to make that amount now.

Honestly-Pac would be a fool to not take $40,000,000 and ask for a slice of the ppv. There is no way in hell he even makes $40,000,000 even WITH ppv fighting anyone else.

I think the only way these guys take the fight is with their LAST fight, once they have made all they can.

The problem is, Manny's stock has been taking hits and his popularity has faded...he couldn't even sell out the mgm when he was fighting in front of bigger crowds at Cowboy stadium a few years before. It puts his fan's faith in perspective. Most of the casual fans have lost the enthusiasm for him when he was taking b.s. gimmick fights and eventually got sparked clean out.

So Mayweather wanted Pacquiao to fight for $0 dollars. I agree that's unreasonable.

Except that isn't what happened at all, and is just something you made up.

He wanted him to take $0 of the PPV revenue. Yes. Yet he apparently offered him half the first time.

Very believable stuff.

Can you show a link where he says that? I've seen him say otherwise.

These people are crazy.It's like they forgot the history and chose to curse the man who was willing to make the fight, yet praise the guy who walked away from it!!!!
The facts are there-2 times there were official offers, and 2 times Manny ran away!
