    Great decision. No need for Mayweather to put any more $$$ in that sneaky, crooked Zionist's pockets.

    Just like he refused to pay the sanctiong fee for his fight with Mosley. He doesn't need belts anymore, he's universally recognized as the best fighter in the sport.

    How many times did we hear the mandatory line when he was fighting Guerrero.

    People say Floyd isn't a nice guy but sending Pac a Christmas present like this when they're supposed to be rivals? Pretty classy, that.

    When things like this start to happen you know the sport is broken

    What do you mean "broken"?, do you expect them to force him to fight Pacquiao when he doesn't want to?. If he doesn't want his title then he drops and vacates it, simple. The media will take care of the rest.

    It's really telling that JR is ducking this past it version of Pacman for a 75/25% split in his favour, very telling.

    That's how it has always been. The champion can't simply decide for himself who he wants to fight, there's what the mandatory is for. If doesn't like the #1 contender he loses the title, and has always been deemed a coward when something like that happened.

    In Floyd's case that last part suddenly doesn't apply for some reason. He can chose who he wants to fight and when he wants to. When they're too dangerous he just avoids them or comes up with additional demands. That means something is terribly wrong with this sport

    This could make the long, long, long overdue fight happen, only it won't because Floyd chickens out.
    Pac wasn't going to win anyway... that's the saddest part of it all.

    Lets be realistic here, the WBC's only reason of making Pac madatory was so they can get those fees. Was pac going to take the 25%?

    Its not a matter of wanting to fight pac or not, its not wanting to anything to do with Arum. If he fought other top rank guys then you'd have a point but he hasnt fought anybody with top rank since he left there...7 years ago

    GBP and top rank havent been doing business for a while but when other fights dont get made nobody complains, but when floyd is involved......

    Has nothing to do with not wanting anything to do with Arum right?
