    Make it the only fighter that makes Floyd nervous about his own health and thought about "improving" the sports with his random drug testing. :yep

    Yes, I agree and yet the keyword in your sentence is usually. I wouldn't doubt that if Chavez Jr and Martinez were to fight, (or even Cotto-Martinez) that Martinez would JUMP at the chance for taking the lesser of 55-45, showing how enormous popularity is and how miniscule skills are in that regard

    What do you think of te interview? What do you take from the line - Ineed to think about my health, and not just take the fights the fans want me to take. What does he mean by that.

    And also the line about hor robinson and holmes got made to take fights that they could lose. What does he mean by that as well?

    Good point. But its very rare. And given Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao are even in terms of drawing power. The edge to Floyd is that he still has an aura of invincibility and Pac doesnt.


    However, if floyd wanted to be fair to the fans, and the sport of boxing and not himself. He takes 50/50.

    Robinson said he fought for money and not legacy at the end of his career. Leonard didnt even want to turn professional until he couldnt make any more money from his olympic success.

    It's fairly common. Floyd is just stupid enough to admit it.

    if he's fighting for money, Manny is the biggest money fight out there.

    what can you say about this then?

    But he earns more money fighting pac.

    His comments hint that he believes he would lose to Pac. and his long term health would suffer if he fought Pac.

    Which is so weird since by now almost everyone favours him big time, floyds actions make you believe he is fighting prime hearns. Either he sees something in pac that he doesnt like or he lacks confidence in his own abilities.

    It becomes real silly when you insist that kind of idea on probably the biggest fight in the history of modern boxing, when both of you are legit PPV attraction, are in the top 2 of the imagined Pound for pound ranking, and stand to earn the biggest paycheck of your life.

    But no, because Mayweather, Jr thinks he is the better fighter, hence, he should get the bigger slice, we should understand him, and support that absurd idea when we know better the fight should be 50/50.

    At the end of the day, Pacquiao got his ass whipped by a lightweight. If Floyd feels that Pacquiao is inferior because of this, he is certainly entitled to.

    And what makes it even more funny is 50/50 is good until Pac said ok to the tests, date and venue. :rofl:rofl

    Just like the 14 day cutoff until Floyd said otherwise..

    Just like the normal testing until Floyd said otherwise..

    Pac has been the one consistently bending over to what Floyd wants. And Floyd being the guy who "wants" to beat the midget punk so badly isn't ok with a 50-50 split. Offers with no PPV upside. Hahaha

    He is entitled to think whatever the hell he wants. And the public is thus entitled to call him a ***** for it.
