    They are defending him wanting more than 50-50, when all the numbers point to Pacquiao being the bigger star :patsch

    Floyd could be caught murdering his baby mama and kids on camera and they'd still defend him and claim he was innocent

    The way I see it, if Pacquiao is going to take a smaller cut, he may as well wait and have the larger outdoor seating built. There's no point in taking less than 50/50 AND giving up a cut of an extra $30 million outdoor seating can provide. Gotta side with Pac on this one. Floyd can have May 5th OR a slightly greater cut - not both. Why should Pacquiao have to give up an extra $15 million between not doing high capacity seating and giving up an even split just because Floyd promised the judge he would fight on May 5th? Isn't that HIS problem?

    In any event, a less than even split shouldn't have been a sticking point in the first place. You can spin the PPV stats to favour either of them, but the bottom line is they're equal draws and people are not coming to see Floyd or Pacquiao - they're coming to see Floyd VS. Pacquiao.

    An outdoor ceiling won't make anymore money, the extra seats are $5 seats (exaggeration but they're worthless)

    48-47 Pacquiao

    This has been a good PR fight so far. The next round is critical for floyd.

    I don't think he really has made any.

    If you look at it team pacquiao has the media and all that trash on their side but the actual terms of the fight are looking more and more Mayweatherian as the days go by. brilliant. manny is manipulated

    he made plenty the first time around, but this time around, I'll give you that it's none. But what were the things he could compromise on?

    During original negotiations we have...

    Gloves
    Weight
    Extreme financial penalty per pound over weight
    Location
    50/50 split
    Week cut off on testing prior to fight

    As of now - Floyd is the only one trying to get this fight made.
