supposedly there is also an issue with pacquiao wearing his cleto reyes gloves. Im serious, if thats true, I would have lost the last ounce of respect I have for mayweather. Thats just a straight b^tch move and theres no way to defend that bullsh^t.

You are making it up. Where's your source for the gloves? Although he could if he wanted to. LINK TO SOURCE PLEASE.

Same old bullchit from Floyd but it doesn't matter his legions of fatherless losers will defend their role model and father figure no matter what.

I honestly can't believe its this hard for boxing's biggest star to make a 100 million payday..


I miss the days when the face of boxing made the big fights..

oscar and arum had no problems landing tito, shane, vargas, hopkins, ike.. especially tito and hopkins as tito was tied up with don king, and hopkins was notoriously hard to deal with back in the day.. Yet somehow arum and oscar landed all the major fights..

I wish floyd was the same way.. If floyd wants this fight, this fight would get made in 2 seconds.. Arum knows his days of milking the cash cow manny are coming to an end and he needs to cash him out

Team PAC still don't want it

Don't forgot the last superfight, de la Hoya-Mayweather, where oscar picked everything from the weight to the gloves to the ring size.

Floyd is just playing the game, he didn't write the rules.

its a 154 lbs championship fight. 10 oz gloves are REQUIRED!!!! Also ODH didnt go to floyd THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT and threatened to cancel the fight did he? terrible comparision

Hey Floyd fans, can we stop acting like Manny is in the same situation as Floyd was when he fought Oscar..Manny is 10x a bigger star then Floyd was at that point... Floyd was a great fighter but popularity wise it's not even close.
Manny deserves a 60-40 split and shouldn't have every single thing dictated to him for this fight.. Floyd is absolutely the A side but Manny is the A- side...
Arum stepping aside won't happen so let's not act like that will happen. Should Manny go in the room and negotiate his own contract? Would Al Haymon step aside if Manny was in Floyds shoes? Of course not!! That excuse is so played out at this point...

I know you think you are so smart, but use 'than' when you compare things. Use 'then' for transitions (I am not sure if you know what 'transition' means. You use it when you go from one point to another). This is important. Not knowing this makes you look kinda ....

Finally, he doesn't and will never get 40%, never. I think 70/30 is too much, too generous, for him.

*citations needed*

Only mumbling I've heard from that have been Manny fans. It's not substantiated and based off of Mayweather not wanting to fight Maidana in horse hair gloves because of that 1 bogus looking pair of MX Everlast. If you can find a link with him saying that recently I'll gladly stfu.

Even if it was true it's his traditional right as the A-side so why wouldn't he play ball and try to flex his muscle? That's why you negotiate.

so what do you feel about the red NSAC APPROVED punchers glove that floydie declined?

"We've done everything possible on our side to make that fight happen"

Including turning down $40 mil + 35% PPV and not wanting to fight on May 2nd because it's disrespectful.

C'mon man... STOP IT!!!!!!!! We all know when this was reported years ago out of Floyd's mouth, he said Manny turndown 40 million flat fee. And that was no gate and no PPV. He said Manny hung up the phone and I don't blame him. May priced himself out of the fight because he knew wouldn't take that offer and anyone with a brain wouldn't take that offer. The biggest fight in history and he offered 40M flat fee. Fool Uncle Sam take 39% off top. LOL. Stop with the 35% PPV bs.

Another thing, it's disrespectful. If it was and MLK day and It was a huge boxing day and Mexicans/Latins were trying to fight on that date, you know some Blacks would be tripping. Let's be a smart business man like Arum... It's smart to have Canelo vs Cotto on May 2nd. May and Manny would out do those numbers on any other date of the year. Bob promote help promote the Cotto vs Canelo and on another date he help promote May vs Manny. BIG numbers on May 2 and HUGE numbers on another date with Manny vs May.

He does run the show. Give him everything he wants. Get him in the ring. Then beat him and then you get to run the show.

Til then no excuses! No more crying about demands.

You had 50/50 and the only demand was drug testing and YOU said no. So deal with it!
