You have your opinion on the margarito situation and I have mines. The video is more recent than the article you provided.

Yeah, which actually hurt your opinion. But you don't see that which is disturbing. And here you are again talking about something you really know little about. Maybe you should quite trying to "expose" people and get some facts first.

I commend your Floyd Mayweather-esque endurance with the youth on these forums. Live long, champ.

I don't have the same fervor, man. But it's hard to find something else to talk about when the first two pages are flooded with Floyd topics. Sometimes I think guys like javi and co. are really members of TMT drumming up publicity by talking about him 24-7.

**** Floyd.........

**** Floyd punk ass Maynever!!!!!!!!!!!! The biggest ducker in the history of boxing. I keep telling yall. He don't want to fight the best or biggest challenges and he doesn't want anyone else to get money. Smh. What kind of MAN or human being is he, exactly? How the **** does he still have fans????

Sure, believe what you want. Floyd got you on that juice. floyd is smart enough to know that arum wont agree to guaranteed future purses of that amount. Just like floyd knew pacquiao wasnt gonna take that low ball 40 mil bs offer.

You mean he was smart enough to know that Arum was wrong...then went out and proved it. It's not about belief, we're not discussing religion. Those are facts, like it or not.

A few years back Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were negotiating terms of a fight that would could have been the most lucrative boxing match of all time. It never happened because Pacquiao would not agree to Olympic-style drug testing.

Pacquiao’s decision cost him dearly.

Showtime Networks announced Thursday that the previous Saturday’s fight between Mayweather and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez generated a record $150 million in pay-per-view revenue, breaking the record of $136 million for Mayweather’s 2007 fight against Oscar De La Hoya. The Mayweather-Canelo fight at the MGM Grand Arena also set a record for largest gate for a boxing match ($20 million) and and Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, says the fight will exceed $200 million in total revenue when all revenue streams are counted.

But a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would have generated much, much more. Three years ago the split between Mayweather and Pacquiao would have been roughly 50-50 for a fight that would have likely grossed more than $250 million, given Mayweather-Alvarez did over $200 million. After taking out the cut for the pay-per-view carriers, I figure Pacquiao and his camp lost about $100 million in earnings.

Since then, Mayweather has remained undefeated by beating Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz with a controversial knockout, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero, and Alvarez. Meanwhile, Pacquiao defeated Jaun Manuel Marquez, but then lost to Timothy Bradley in a controversial decision, and got knocked out in his rematch with Marquez.

Pacquiao has never come close to earning what he could have made fighting Mayweather. His biggest payday: $25 million for his last Marquez bout. And Pacquiao’s brand has taken a hit with his recent losses. He is guaranteed to earn just $18 million from his next fight in November against Brandon Rios
