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.Comment

it is not a... " solid read "... at all
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 fightComment

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.Comment
