    That's a lot of smileys. You obviously love floyd regardless of who he fights.

    I like floyd too. But i choose not to support because of crap like this.

    If Manny turned down the offer floyd turn down, and said its because he has to think about his health and he wont let himself get pushed into fights he could lose. I'd lose respect of manny and not support him as much.

    i would be happy if pac had taken floyd's offer just to see the figth but i knew for a fact and all the other people knew for a fact that floyd's offer is BS. i'm not like you who would rather not see the fight if floyd won't get more money.

    i think you are the 2nd ***** other than pimpC who openly admitted that they would rather floyd not taking the fight if he won't earn more. :patsch

    i guess because most people agree that 50/50 is fair. Or if one fighter was to get a higher split. no more than 55/45.

    so therefore I am happy with this because its not a fair offer.

    Floyd needed to be in the news. I mean Pac was becoming the face of Boxing and he hated it.

    Floyds not a coward (He fights for a living) but he is a little apprehensive of facing Pac that He couldnt bring himself to get in the ring against him. It happens.

    Difference with guys like Floyd and a Duran, SRL for example is that Duran knew He would get slaughtered against Hearns and still got in the ring. Not sure if that was smart but thats why Duran is a legend.

    I mean how big a shot did anyone give Leonard against Hagler? I mean the guy had an eye problem and got in there with possibly the greatest at MW.

    WTF are you talking about. Stop making **** up. Floyd turned down the fight because the counter offer was not sufficient to him and his team. Its his career he is the bigger draw he wants the bigger split its pretty simple. He is not going to let people outside his camp dictate his business. He is a prize fighter his goal is to maximize his profits while he can fight so when he retires he has earned the most he could so he doesnt have to take those dumb fights late in his career like other fighters.

    but I guess you like "talk to my promoter"

    true floyd is either avoiding losing his "0" or at least avoiding the punishment that he would get by chosing wisely the lesser risk opponent. floyd really is a smart guy.

    Floyd isnt apprehensive about fighting Pacquiao. He feels Pacquiao is inferior to himself, seeing as how Pacquiao lost to Marquez, and he feels Pac deserves less then 50/50 and given that logic of thinking he is correct.

    Manny just LOST. Floyd is a bigger draw how is it fair? And this is business. Most people are clueless about that though.

    Well i'm glad your happy with floyds decision anyway.

    Just don't talk to me about how floyd is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

    He loses that right in my book by decisions like this.

    So what are you basing the "fairness" of the offer on...what calculations are you using to determine 40 million isn't 45%?
