    Who the **** started it anyways? :patsch

    Remember that **** started to fly when Floyd was pushed to fight Pac. Starting with that testing and all the bs that came along with it.

    So why do you think Floyd posted this? You think 50-50 is not a fair split?

    Floyd's been on that mission since Pac won FOTD.

    Of course 50-50 is fair, but him saying that is not a deal breaker. Negotiations can continue and always usually start off with someone trying to get the larger piece.

    Fixed.
    It's only him wanting the larger cut.

    Because probably its a no brainer? For a mega fight talked about for 3 years, Find some hardcores and insiders or just anybody and ask what should the purse split be? Because apparently only *****s and Floyd wants this at more than 50-50 for himself. Hence another roadblock.

    Point being is floyd generates more money with his fights. Which is what he is basing his stance on the larger cut.

    *******s have to understand manny's higher ranking has to do with him being more active but floyd clearly earns more per fight. Another thing its shows is arum is raping manny.

    At the end of the day its sad to see that manny is making the kind of money that fighters like kessler, bute, cotto and mosley being that he is a much more popular fighter.

    Truthfully none of this matters because 55/45, 60/40, 50/50 the fight isn't going to happen because arum doesn't want it to happen and manny isn't pushing. As bad as people want to make it about who is to blame, it should be a case of the fans saying **** who's fault it is make the fight happen. We do that by bot buying any fight that they don't fight each other.

    Negotiations are just that, you probe and find out where you stand, you see what you can get. Your explanation has nothing to do with real negotiations whether they are in boxing or in business. There's always a back and forth on the demands of each party involved. It's a starting point, not a roadblock, you're just buying into Arum's talking points.

    Except his fights don't generate more. Pac-Marquez 3 generated more than Floyd-Ortiz and Pac has had the highest grossing fight two of the last three years after Floyd came back and he and Manny were competing as megastars. Pac's top 3 fights in that time made more than Floyd's 3 fights. All his fans do is spread lies based on what he says instead of the real figures. This fight is as clear cut a 50-50 megafight as you can get

    What matters is,this proves even more how Pac is getting robbed.. Your saying he sells more but makes 3 times as less..

    Pac exposed again!

    Anyone noticing a pattern here?

    God I hope that ain't really Pac's social. If so? Mayweather should be fined HEAVILY for that BS!
