Which is worse? Floyd vs Pac (2010) or Alvarez vs Golovkin (2016)?

    That was an assumption...the offer was 50/50 tho they were splitting everything right down the middle

          In no world will 40 million be worse than 10 million for 36 minutes of work.

            So which was better? 40million or 50/50. Pac and Brian Kenny broadcasted via ESPN that 15 days before the fight was not possible!

            So which was the excuse? Money or WADA!?

              They're both bad but we're in the present right now and I have to take into consideration that Canelo fought how many times at 155lbs and then dropped his 160lbs WBC belt at the thought of fighting GGG then low balls an offer of 10 million dollars A YEAR IN ADVANCE!!!

              At the very least Floyd would have set up the fight with Pacquiao to be the next one in line not a year in advance if he took the offer which was low balling as well.

                It was worse for the fans though we were rejected the chance of seeing prime vs prime best fighters at the time go up against each other because of Floyd.

                  "Well, he now agrees to a 14 day in? Well he got the chance to accept that, but right now I want it just a day before the match!"

                  - Floyd Mayweather.
                  Out of the 5-6 excuses and blatant lies told by Bob arum - you pick "cut off dates".

                  Typical pact@rd.

                  Sorry team Pac already admitted years later the whole "drug testing thing" was their fault.

                    I agree we were robbed but I don't blame it only on Floyd. It takes two to negotiate, some of the blame lies with Pac.

                      Manny walked over drug testing, that is common knowledge
