54 limit? dont know where you got that from but like i said CBS head asked for all to be quiet and thats why i think it was taken down. No one has denied it and now with CBS head involved i believe the offer is real.

My god cheeseboy, really??? So basically, you dont know just like always.

lol i dont get pac fans.. the man himself, the legend, the icon, the "fighter of the decade ".. just said its not about the money.. yet his fans only wanna argue n debate money all damn day. . $40mil is not enough, low ball offer, its a scam, manny deserves better etc... people listen its NOT ABOUT THE MONEY... pick something else to discuss this debate has been buried by the man himself

yes, floyd offer the 14 days cut off but he change his mind after that and took it off the table. this is what i was saying. if he wanted to make the fight why keep changing it??? and floyd didnt come out and say he wont work with arum until late 2012 early 2013.

Ok, so why are u saying that one moves towards and one away when they both have done it? He changed it because that was what he originally wanted, Pac declined and then Floyd had more leverage. What's strange to me is that you are condemning Floyd for changing the cutoff, when there shouldn't have been any cutoff to begin with! We found out later that there was absolutely NO realy reason for it! So why aren't you condemning Pac for demanding it in the first place, rather than Floyd for changing it?

Ok, but u could already see he was trying to bypass Arum when he called Pac.

IN what universe is $54 million a scam? In what universe is tripling your paycheck a scam?

I swear, people live in alternate universes sometimes.

floyd- canelo got a 200m revenue.
worst case scenario is if floyd-pacquiao equal that 200m.

75/25 is a scam considering what a pacquiao win means for floyd.
1.fighter of the decade(this decade)
2.a move from top 30 to top 10 atg.
3.doubling his biggest guarantee ever. and biggest earning ever after all earnings are accounted for.

a pacquiao fan calling people juicers, aint that a b*tch

your idol froidweather tested positive 3 times, not once, but 3 effing times. his gym is infested with roiders. you know that. they're your heroes. they're getting caught by the commission left and right by urine samples taken after the fight.

"a move from top 30 to top 10 atg"

Thats what a win over Pac means!!!

JMM is a top 10 ATG?

Manny said the same **** in 2011, right? So Floyd called the dude himself, offered him $40m.

Manny's response? "50-50 or no fight."

Wake up.

in july 2010. 6 months after the first negotiation. floyd no longer want 50/50.

the cut off date has nothing to do with ppv, money split, drawing power, etc. so why keep changing it if floyd really wanted to make the fight? im interested to hear ur thoughts on this. i can understand his stance on the money split, since manny lost, etc. but why the cut off date of ost? LOL

Changing the cutoff date?? Because originally he didn't want one. He felt like there was no reason for one if u are clean. Once Pac and his team made all the excuses, I think that reinforced his view that Pac was on something, but he still gave into the 14 days to make the fight. Once Pac declined that, he felt slighted and wasn't going to offer that any longer...especially since he had more leverage.

75/25 is a blessing considering that Floyd sets ppv records with his major fights. Something Manny has yet to do, even when facing well known competition. No one comes close to bringing in the amount of Money that Floyd does, not even Manny who is third in money generated behind Floyd and Vladomir.

Floyd pulled 70 mill without Manny and Manny has yet to even come close to that.

Beating Manny would do little for Floyd other than money. Especially considering who Manny has been fighting as of late.
