    If people really want to see the fight. Everyone should start finding solutions not defending their hero. If it makes sense then do it. Go by facts. Money split, look at the draw/revenue/PPV numbers. Drug tests. YES! Pac hire an anti-doping agent to test Floyd and Vice versa and have a netruel one that does BOTH. SIMPLE AS HELL.

    Would stand to make upwards of 40 million with Manny, but takes guaranteed 32 million against Manny *leftover. . . Deduce as necessary


    * I don't believe in the ridiculous "leftover" conceot, but since Floyd is the one who came up with it. . . . :lol:

    This. . . I think we all know a 40 million dollar flat is ridiculous. . . But then again, Floyd does have better revenue generated. . Right now, Floyd isn't even coming down off his flat fee guarantee, and Manny's side doesn't seem to ever want to budge from 50/50, even if it's proven Floyd has done better numbers. . .

    Sure, keep telling yourself that. Pacquiao is the PPV King in two of the last three years, outselling Floyd and his fights generating as much or more money. Their PPVs and money generated is also very similar against common opponents as A-sides.

    And I just find it bizarre Mayweather fans trying to claim Pacquiao fans are the ones who don't want the fight when Mayweather fans have flip-flopped and defended Floyd every time he makes a new demand (first they were crying the email he sent to ESPN saying he wouldn't give Pac 50-50 was a hoax, then Pac was lying that Mayweather offered no PPV, now it's all out defending Floyd on the issue and his offer). It's plain to see the $40M flat is such a joke for a fight of this magnitude and an obvious stalling block . Even Stephen A. Smith has called Mayweather out on it

    LOL.

    Manny is only guaranteed 7 million, if it was higher he would have it in his contracts like Floyd.

    Manny is getting played, instead of making excuses for the people robbing from him, you should want to see him getting just as much money as Floyd.

    Err, Pac does not want 50-50 complete parity. He said recently to American reporters he;d take a lesser gauranteed purse than Floyd, and he only wanted 50-50 on the PPV money. I can post that interview, I've posted it so many times. Floyd is the unreasonable one here and not even budging on no PPV for Pac

    The 40 million guarantee is what Floyd offered Manny on the phone. In reality, the only way to make the fight is to have Arum contact Richard Schaefer or Al Haymon and work it out. Arum so far has admitted to ignoring Schaefer's calls, not knowing who to negotiate with, and said in January "We should wait until November" and then recently "Fight isn't going to happen this year, we should look to next year" because he keeps guaranteeing Manny to his other in house opponents.

    You guys don't know **** about business, or bench pressing in King Khan's case.

    I am skeptical that the fight can actually pull 100 million tbh.

    oh, i agree 100% it's pretty much all on floyd at this point. but im saying hypothetically if he didnt want to accept like a 45/55 offer, if proven.

    He is offering a flat fee for a fight expected to break PPV and fight revenue records. The better the fight does, it will be only Floyd benefitting from that, and there is no ceiling so he could walk away with double or more than Pac's $40M. Half the interest for the fight, and half the reason it is expected to break PPV records is because of Pacquiao so he atleast deserves 50-50 on the PPV and a chance to take the money he would be helping generate
