What? At the time (2009), some were concerned that Manny would play hardball and want more than 50/50. Remember that Floyd was coming back from retirement, Manny was hot, his numbers were better in their previous fight per fight PPV numbers. Manny was the one who was OK with making it 50/50 split.
So initial issue was NOT about money but thanks for trying to make it sound like it did.
Once Manny accepted Floyd's PEDs roadblock and Floyd said that he would be even willing to take less to make the fight, Floyd thru the "NO PPV Money" roadblock. At this point, even objective Floyd fans blamed Floyd since he had said that his only concern was "TAKE THE TEST AND WE HAVE A FIGHT"
So after several more roadblocks by Floyd, he goes on Showtime and says, I'm going to even offer Manny less than in 2012. So of course, for everyone but you and a very few other Floyd fans don't realize what time it is.
It's not about accepting. It's about the other side, Floyd, making a reasonable offer. You don't seem to care about that. There is the problem.
