They weren't. There were LOTS of people still arguing that Pac deserved 50/50. Some even to this day.
Of course the PPV should've changed, Floyd showed that he was the bigger draw. You can't walk away from a negotiation, lose negotiating power and then come back and expect the same offer. Business just doesn't work that way.
And people are acting like Pac accepted and then Floyd changed the terms, when it didn't happen like that. Pac walked away from the first fight to fight Clottey, Floyd made the fight with Mosley. BEFORE the Mosley fight, Floyd said that OSDT would be all the way up to the fight and if his PPV did substially better, Pac was no longer getting 50/50. Pac only accepted lower purse and full drug testing in 2011. Floyd tried to make the fight in 2012. So where is the ducking?
Again, that was during the negotiations in 2009/10. Pac declined, so the offer changed. That is normal business.
Have you ever read the fight hype timelines Evol? Interesting read, clears a lot of things up. I had forgotten many of the things that had happened. If not, check em out.
