    .... They don't want to fight"

    First of Floyd, for a fight that's expected to generate at least $200 million the $40 million you offered is only 20%. Do you really expect PAC to accept an 80-20 sharing? Clearly Floyd you have no intention of fighting PAC in the first place. You just used his name to create buzz in your next fight. "Step up punk. I'll fight you but I'll take 80% of the money". But to the Floyd legions PAC IS DUCKING :rofl:rofl:rofl

    80 20 where does that even come from? How much you think Pac is going to make fighting Bradly? How much you think Mayweather is going to make fighting Cotto? Why didnt Arum counter with a real offer better than the one Floyd gave Manny? why did bob say they could not make the fight May 5?

    of course it's bull****. How is Pac gonna take a flat fee for the highest grossing fight in history.

    Even if Mayweather agrees to 50/50 we still will not fight on May 5th - Bob Arum

    "We need a stadium that will not be ready until the end of May" Bob Arum

    30 other excuses as well from Team Pac. Later :rofl

    I don't care about any of that ****...I just hate to see people misinformed.

    For the record how will it generate 200 million? And if it did you know cable takes half off top,right? So that 200 turns to 100. Now 40 mil out of 100mil is not bad. They had yet to even consider the back end.

    Pac should always get the most money he can. But you guys are misinformed if you think 40 million is something to laugh at.

    40 mill with no cut of the PPV revenue is laughable. Floyd's trying to bend him over and screw him and he thinks Pac is running for not accepting that.

    Arum made a counter offer you dummy. He's willing to give Floyd $45 million which is $5 million more than his offer to PAC. :hi::hi::hi:

    You're the who's mis-informed. Cable won't take half of the PPV money :patsch
    Experts and top economist are even forecasting this fight could generate as much as $500 million dollars. Why would PAC accept $40 M straight up with no PPV share? :patsch:tired

    If they weren't flexible on that offer then they were never set on Pacquiao. This much is increasingly transparent.

    This is simple "backdoor" public relations.

    First, you make your move (decide to fight Cotto). Then, you give reasons why the fight everyone wanted to see happen (Pac-Floyd) didn't happen. It's not your fault, but the fault of the other guy, etc.

    Standard stuff. And, of course, the information is given to a favored media outlet, so that you're not asked difficult questions about your claims.

    I don't know how you can defend this one. Floyd is basically offering PAC an 80-20 sharing. It's clearly a duck. :hi::hi::hi:
