No announcement yet.
At what point did you realise Mayweather was a top 10 ATG?

"I walked in, I told him: "I believe we have a deal,' " Shaw said. "And Bob said, "so it's a deal - 55-45 (money split)'.
"I said, "Bob, that was never, ever discussed, no deal' and that was that."
The day before, Shaw said he and Arum had agreed to a 50-50 purse split as well as other requests from Mayweather's camp. He added that Wright adviser Jim Wilkes and Don King, who has an option on Wright's next fight, agreed as well.
According to Shaw, however, Arum said he did not remember that conversation. Arum was unavailable for comment.
Arum changed the deal.

HMMM.....Floyd will never be a top 10 or top 20 ATG. And its his fault for not having a fighter mentality. Its a shame though if he had let his nuts hang and actually wanted to test himself he woulda been a top 10 ATG.

After the back to back demands:
CW and pillow gloves but I have to admit,
Floyd almost had me won over when he asked Hatton to move up 1 division then Marquez to move up nearly 3 full divisions (2 fights away) and especially when Floyd still didn't make the contracted weight ..... man that has ATG written all over .....

Arum changed the deal.
"There were requests made by Floyd Mayweather, we laid it out and I think they were fair requests," Arum told maxboxing.com. "Gary rejected them, so there's no fight. We have to sit with Floyd and we'll figure out (what we do next). "
Floyd called Winky out then freaked out when Winky called his bluff. Then Floyd thought that they would say no when they put demands on Winky like having to make certain weight even on fight day but again, Winky said yes to all those demands.
Then last minute they changed the money split. Nothing new with Floyd. I knew that he was going to do something similar once Manny accepted the PEDs testing and right on queue, Manny accepts, Floyd adds new roadblocks!

Floyd messed up every deal.
Pac/Arum/Roach were not responsible for a SINGLE slip of a fight.
With the exception of steroids, but Floyd is a user too!
Floyd and team are 100% responsible for not fighting Pac.
Everyone knows it, including your/Floyd's crew.
Enough of this GARBAGE!

You my man have hit the nail on the head hard with this post.
No matter what is done or how hard is tried, Mayweather will never fight Pac under any circumstances. It's just a game he plays that he intends to pull out of at some stage always.
The excuses are so obviously and blatantly ridiculous that it's impossible to swallow by any but the most ardent licker of Floyd's balls!
I suppose Money was waiting to see if Manny would become shot enough to risk a fight with when they were at end of career.
Now that Floyd is the one who is shot first, we will not only never see this fight, but I suspect we will never see Floyd fight a top opponent ever again.
He will finish up bumming his ass the rest of the way to 50-0.
It's clear,
overall, Manny is the greatest boxer of this generation! Not the way he was supposed to claim it, he was robbed of that, just as LEnnox was robbed by Bowe. But poetic justice and a good ending of sorts anyway!
Serves the scum Money right!
