    :rofl Yep, great decision for him... easy to say for a fan who's not the one getting the payday! Anyways, now pacquiao will probably NEVER make that amount of money, not even adding ALL the fights he's got left diuring the rest of his career! Now, think about that 4 a min & then tell me if it was a good decision!

    You know the sign of a true jackass, and someone from an uneducated family? Somebody who uses hindsight as a reason to justify a decision in the past; a decision that did not have the benefit of hindsight. I'm telling you; it's a sure-fire sign that education is not in the family line.

    Here's a very simplified example; simplified for your accessibility of course. if I decide to get a train because I want to get to work on time, that is a good decision. If my train crashes that morning, it doesnt suddenly become a bad decision because I was not aware that my train would crash. This is really not that tricky to understand, and you will benefit much from learning this.

    Nor will Mayweather.

    As for the rest of your post, are you an idiot? Do you know anything about human psychology? If you're a fan of boxing, you would know that it plays a large part.

    Let's use a simple example. Let's say you have a friend who your group of friends want you to fight. They all chip in 20 bucks for a total of $200 to make it happen. All your friends want to equally see you both fight each other. Now, your opponent friend wants to split the $200 as $160 for him and $40 for you. Would you do the fight? Think about it for the next 30 minutes to process what is happening and why.

    Would you have taken $40m and no PPV-money if you were Pacquiao? If so, the only thing this reveals is that you havent gotten very far in school (there's a surprise), and you dont even have common sense to boot. You can't just think of the boxing implications as you quoted; boxing is a business and a form of livelihood. Fight's must make financial sense at the time you sign for them.

    It was a bull**** offer, meant as an insult and another roadblock. Floyd knew it would never be taken seriously. Just like his latest offer to promote Manny.

    $40 million makes no "financial sense" to you and I'm the one who didn't get far in school:lol:

    Here's some logic: If Pac is such an easy fight for Void, they why didn't Void fight Pac?

    Answer: Void, Sr. said that he would never allow Void, Jr. to fight Pac. He said that right after Pac stopped Cotto. Void will never fight Pac because styles make fights and Void knows it. Void is afraid he will lose the fight. Void is still running from Pac.............

    Yes, you are indeed the one who didnt get far in school. Don't kid yourself alright... Your lack of education and the family you come from are on display everytime you post and it's no different this time.

    You are looking at the $40m figure in an absolutist way; not a relativist way, as you should (even though you probably dont understand these terms). This is yet another sign of a uneducated mind and background, and frankly someone who is IQ-deficient.

    LMF'ingAO, extreme analogy based on a comment about two boxers!?!? Relax, Einstein, and while doing it push your ”hindsight” up your genious of an ass. Btw, very nice example of showing your so called ”high/extended” education... Giving a rant through the internet to somebody that you have never met over a disagreement about two boxers?? :yep With that being said, I wouldn't be interested in what kind of education do u & your family have... not very high, would be my say! Then again, who am I to say? Have a nice day/evening now.... Ohhh, and stop making a clown of yourself with your ridiculous analogies and diagnoses over an internet forum. PAYASO!:smooch

    That's just pathetic and defeatist. I would not have expected something so utterly barren (empty). You really ought to stop replying and crawl back into your hole. With every reply, a little bit more of your desperation seeps through.

    All that I saw in this was: "Ok you're smart; Ill shut up now and exit this discussion, but not before I pose and try to save face".

    I can live with that. Watch out for the door.

    Laughable of an example! Mayweather (as most everybody knows) IS, and was at the time, the #1 ppv attraction in boxing and probably all pro sports. If you know ANYTHING about boxing and/or other sports you must know athletes barely ever, if at all, get paid the same amount. Now kiss your mom g'night & have a sleep. Sometimes lack of rest could cause ludicrous statements like yours...
