That's right, Manny deserves 40% or better. And if you don't like it then watch him fight Vargas and prove it.

True. And there are ALOT of morons out there that claimed pac was ducking bc floyd offered 40 mil. Lol

alotta fans hold that $40mil close to their chests as if it was "real" offer. On the other side of that same coin, alotta fans hold onto that "healthcomes 1st" BS which is taken completely out of context.

Fanboys

Regardless of how one may feel about Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations, how the hell do you get from Point A (Pacquiao-Mayweather) to like Point Q (Pacquiao-Vargas)? We can't get the Floyd fight made, so we will just skip the entire welterweight division and half the junior welters to Vargas. Or, alternatively, we can just skip 140 and 147 entirely and fight some 135 lbers (Garcia, Crawford). Literally, WTF!?!?!?!

If Pacquiao doesn't take the Mayweather fight now, it's over for him in terms of the mainstream. And it'll be well deserved. It's already over if you look at the 300K his last fight did. The prospect of a Mayweather fight is keeping him propped up. If it doesn't happen and he fights Vargas or Crawford, it's curtains for that clown and deservedly so.

That's great but none of those fights are justified.

To who you? I disagree

Till I see an official statement from Floyd Mayweather it's bull****, I don't believe it.

In 2012, that is exactly what Floyd fans said when the rumor was floating around that Floyd wanted "All PPV money" and "Manny will get a flat fee of $40 million". Once it was confirmed, Floyd fans got a case of amnesia ......

right who signs with a promoter who has different intentions? manny is a dumb ****

Pac keeps saying no. Lmao. What has he said no to? After agreeing to steroid testing app 3-4 yrs ago ( which had never been requested bf- so it's understandable why he turned it down, even well renowned boxing trainers said he had no reason to agree initially?), what has he said no to. Lol

The only reason to say no to testing is if you dont want to get caught using.

My friend, the only relevancy for both Floyd and Manny is each other. After they fight, the rest of their careers is basically done. Except if Floyd gets froggy and goes for legit LMW/ MWs, which I doubt.

Nah, he can still nab 800k or so against Khan and co. Over 1m for Cotto. He'll remain in the public eye and will still be the highest paid athlete. When he starts doing Pacquiao numbers then we can speculate. That Algieri fight was a brick like Shaq at the foul line. Mayweather would kill himself before going back to those kind of numbers.
