Floyd is facing 2 lawsuits and still has 3 comma Joe problems.

Hahah that's why you didn't get away with your "40 million flat-rate buyout" deal, Floyd, and now you have to give up 40 percent of ALL REVENUE to Pac's side.

Hahah Floyd thought he was gonna take like 80 percent of all revenue.

Moreover, Floyd's boss, Showtime, told him he was gonna get put on the shelf, until and unless he fights Pac.

I'm not interested in the who was "forced" into the fight and neither should anyone else, at the end of the day they've both signed the contract and it's happening and we should be happy (even if it's long over due). May the best man win, I'm going with Floyd.

classic mayweather.the promotion has begun. roach is already firing shots. expect it from pacquiao himself,arum because this was directed at him over his relationship with mayweather and because he's the one that has stolen millions from pac and is his tax advisor. roger and floyd sr shots coming soon.

Pacquiao still hasn't had his day in court. Most of that 75 million is in late penalties and other fees. He will likely end up paying much less due to the fact he only originally owed 18 million to the u.s. Either way pacquiao is one of the richest athletes in history. He has made nearly as much as mayweather, and would easily be able to pay it whether its 18 million or 75 million. Manny was making over 20 million a fight regardless. He didn't need to fight Floyd. Floyd needed to fight Manny to prove to the world hes not a coward. He just couldn't deal with the public pressure anymore. I mean think about it, pacquiao made a damn foot locker commercial and #fight pacquiao was trending on twitter. How would it have looked if Floyd backed out again. He was still scared all those years, and realistically Floyd was the one forced into fighting pacquiao, not the other way around

WBA/WBC welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. believes Manny Pacquiao, the WBO champion at 147-pounds, had no choice but to accept a fight with him for May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather says Pacquiao's "back was against the wall" and the Filipino star is in need of money. The undefeated pound-for-pound king points to Pacquiao's tax troubles in the United States and the Philippines and he also take a few jabs at Pacquiao's inability to break 400,000 pay-per-view purchases for his contest in last fall against Chris Algieri.

Floyd should be saying he had no choice. Pac has been chasing him for years even when pac was at the top. Floyd hasn't been doing well on his ppv numbers lately either. With pressure from showtime and boxing fans from all over mayweather had no choice. He offered pac a flat rate fee of 40 million a few years ago and pac turned it down. Now we why because that slice of the pie just
doubled for pac.

I thank the IRS for making this fight happen... 5 years, that's about how long it takes the IRS to catch up with ***** asses.

Money is not everything. I have met a lot of well to do families and I've noticed that they have more worries than the poor people around them. Actually people without much wealth but got a lot of friends are much happier people. Share and show your love to needy people. Share with them some of the happiness you are enjoying...by then you will realize the true happiness you are missing.
