It's not up to Pac anymore. Mayweather is the "A-side" and if he wants to be "TBE" like he's been parading around saying, he needs to show he will fight anyone and try to make the fight. That was years ago and things have changed since. If Mayweather ignores this challenge it's on him at this point.

Also, your statement is debatable, and has been debated until people are blue in the face.... not really an argument at this point. $40 million flat fee when Pac was more popular at the time? Why no percentage? As stated before, Pac would have been an idiot to accept that.

Nobody is saying Floyd is scared of pac, but scared to take that chance because he might lose then yes. But I don't think any fighter is scared of the other guy.

It's too bad all the passed and current pro boxers, basketball players, football players, actors all feel a different way lol. And a lot of them is actually picking Floyd to win, the challenge is to get Floyd in the same ring with manny.

Floyd could have been made this fight if he wanted to indeed.. But truth is Pac and Arum have used Floyd for YEARS to hype Manny up and if the fight hinges on Pac getting half of anything, I would tell them to kick rocks too!! Floyd had to bow down and give everything Oscar wanted to make the fight and his biggest paycheck and the same goes for Pac..Sergio would have never fought Cotto without giving in to all of Cotto's demands and too act like that's not the cycle of boxing is just hatred for Floyd...

Sure tell Holyfield that, I rekon Pacman had some blame in the begining, but lately every thing points out to Mayweather direction he is the one putting all this road blocks and crazy demands (that would be fine "IF" Paquiao was a waaaay far down "B" side but he is NOT compared to all the Guerreros and Maidanas of the world) Canelo & Cotto are the moderate B sides and the do not compare to Pacman and the money they both would make by making the fight.

From a boxing aspect I think Mayweather wins the fight. From a business aspect, I think EVEN if Mayweather pitched a shutout in general anything short of a knockout, he loses on the cards or a draw and it will be complete BS and people shaking their heads and people pissed off and calling for investigations and ****. Cause boxing is business and what makes more money than the first fight of that size.... the Rematch. And as much as fans would gripe about it, soon they would say "REMATCH! or you ducking lol!"... We have seen the serve up before Pac/Bradley I no way in hell you saying Bradley won that fight, Pac got served up by Arum for big business. And there was uproar and swearing to god to never watch the rematch if it happened, but it died down and soon it was "do the rematch Pac avenge our loss" Mayweather will get served up same way and he knows it. Cause he worked with Arum and Al Haymon and he knows what power they really got. Boxers don't run ****, Promoters and Businesses are running boxing.

Holyfield your a legend an all but please stfu, you are sounding bitter

Bitter for what!? he is just stating his opinion which by the way is the opinion of most of the public. (and many of them are professional boxers)
