    pac has always said it not about the money it about the fans, well okay prove it. Accept the offer or at least negotiate more to get a better one, rather than running away with your vagina exposed.

    That the thing with pac, anytime he hears something he doesn't like he runs away from negotiations rather than dealing with it, he did the same thing when he ran away to fight clottey, if he stuck around and negotiated the fight would have happened in 2009.

    Believe me it would have happened. The argument was over cut off date, pac said 24 days, floyd said 14 days, i'm sure if they stuck at it they could have come to an agreement.

    **** if wlad and haye could finally come to an agreement then pac and floyd can.

    Bull**** he wasn't :lol:..Mayweather himself used Pac's previous fights with Marquez to claim how he outsold Pac every fight..Now Pac-Marquez beats Mayweather-Ortiz and it doesn't count because of their history..Pac outsold and outdrew Mayweather last year in all categories, that's that.

    Even with the Clottey fight the average is 1.076M Pac from 6 fights v 1.155M Floyd from 4 fights as A-sides.

    But if you want to go back to 2007, Pac still had the highest selling and grossing PPV and biggest gate in 3 of those 5 years. Effectively Pac is the PPV King in 3 of the past 4 years and he's the one breaking PPV records as an A-side. However you want to justify Mayweather deserving more, Pacquiao has an equal or better claim.

    LOL @ Floyd intentionally pricing himself out of the fight. Was definitely his intention all along.

    Not by me. :deal Please do try to stay on topic.

    Nobody is trying to justify Mayweather "deserving" more. I made the factual statement that Mayweather is the bigger draw and you're trying (unsuccessfully) to refute it. Whether you look at fights against common opponents or average their fights since becoming "A-sides" (as you put it), Mayweather edges him. Throw in the DLH fights and Mayweather's average jumps dramatically, but you want to conveniently ignore those. If we try to factor in the drawing power of their uncommon opponents it's cherrypicking according to you, so take your pick: Is it Mayweather by average or is it Mayweather by common opponent?

    why are people saying pac is going to make a lot more money than ever before so he should take it- as though floyds doing him a favour!??! floyds going to make double of what HE normally makes also. its going to be the biggest fight for either of them- they both need each other to make this dance work. its ridiculous that these guys are unable to see the other persons point of view and realise the other guy is a star and an alpha male in their own right. these guys have been the A side of every single one of their fights their whole career- save for 1- against oscar, and since then , they ve had all the terms, the leverage, the money, the weight, the date, everything. they ve got to realise the other man is bringing something to this to- and make the damn fight already. to offer this flat fee, or 40 percent crap is straight condescending- and neither man is going to take it nor should they. 50 50- make the ****ing fight and lets get it on and get on with it. this is going on ad nausea, ad inifinitum.

    ****

    I honestly do not understand how people keep rehashing the same old arguements for 3 years now.
    Fight is not going to happen, neither fighter wants it bad enough.

    And even by the off chance it did happen who cares? both are past prime... Pac probably a little more so due to his style.
    The only way this fight would still be interesting if it was the decider of a trilogy.

    Tbh i get the impression most people here enjoy bickering about it more then actually wanting to see the fight.
