    Nope. He walked because the ridiculous and silly demands Floyd was insisting, including Floyd’s demand of a 70/30 split.

    Floyd had no intention of fighting PAC at that time.

      The split offered was 50/50

      Pacquiao turned it down saying he didn't want blood taken the week of the fight.

      Mayweather offered 50/50 with a two week cut off.

      Pacquiao turned that down.


      PACQUIAO DUCKED.


      Stop your lies Pac turd.

          Harder punches, more damaging punches count for more.

          Touch jabs count very little.

          Pro boxing is about the hurt game, it is not the amateurs.
          but Canelo landed more power punches..most of Golovkin shots WERE JABS

              A hard jab can be worth more than soft hook.

                LAS VEGAS – Though sports fans remain desperate to see Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight Manny Pacquiao, in 2010 the superstar boxers came closer to fighting than anyone previously realized, according to a document obtained by Yahoo! Sports.

                A contract sent on Dec. 11, 2009, by Golden Boy Promotions on behalf of Mayweather to Top Rank on behalf of Pacquiao proposed a 50-50 financial split between the sides for a fight that would have been held March 13, 2010.




                The eight-page agreement is so detailed that it indicates which of the two fighters would step onto the scale first at the weigh-in (Pacquiao), who would walk to the ring first (Pacquiao), who would be introduced first (Mayweather) and who had first choice of the locker room (Mayweather).

                It detailed that the bout would have been on HBO Pay-Per-View at a cost of $59.95. Billing was to be "Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, presented by Top Rank, Golden Boy Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and M-P Promotions in association with [approved sponsors and the site]."

                A Mayweather-Pacquiao bout is expected to be the largest-grossing fight in history, in which total revenues could reach $300 million. Experts have predicted the fight would sell between 2.5 million and 3 million pay-per-views in the U.S.

                Given that Mayweather's May 5 bout against Miguel Cotto was priced at $69.95, it would not be unreasonable for Mayweather-Pacquiao to be priced at $79.95 or more. At $79.95, it would generate a whopping $199.875 million if it reached 2.5 million pay-per-view buys.

                Pacquiao's side declined the 2009 contract offer because Pacquiao objected to Mayweather's request for the drug testing. Though Pacquiao has subsequently agreed to Mayweather's demands for random blood and urine testing, the sides have not been able to reach agreement on a deal.

                  this is exactly why "HARD" punching is not a criteria man..you just jumped sides quickly..they have no way of judging how hard a punch is and that is not how fights are scored for that reason

                    it is just a dopey casual-fan conclusion based on " punch-stats "

                    punch-stats are NOT official judging criteria

                    this is not the amateurs, this is the hurt game... judges are more concerned with, who wins the exchanges and who controls the fight

                      Both guys are legends, but Floyd won the fight. He embarrassed Pac the first 5 or 6 rounds then kept moving away. Pac couldn't cut the ring, nor mount a consistent, effective attack the rest of the fight. It was not a highlight for either guy.

                      Pac lost, period.

                      It's amazing how many fight-fans(?) keep repeating a narrative, believing that one day it will change opinions.

                      The official fight results will still stand. Time to let it go. Pac, a rightful legend, lost. Floyd showed he could counter Pac at will, and not be caught or bothered much.

                      Both are still legends.
