    Manny's cut from the third Marquez fight still hasn't healed yet, so construction hasn't begun.

    40m no ppv is a bit of a low blow but when you consider pac had lost a step and floyd was still at the top you cant blame him for doing it. and it still would have been thehighest payday he had gotten.

    actually you know what pac deserves no more then 40m... he robbed the fans of the fight we wanted to see when it mattered. he could have had 50/50 ring and glove size. 10m per lb gaurentee on floyds weight

    but no... clottey was just to tempting a fighter ... bob arums excuses during the 2012 negotiations were ****ing hideously bad

    stadiums

    concerns over who would gaurentee floyds purse

    cuts that wont heal for floyd but will for marquez

    manny cant fight floyd as it would look bad on manny to be in the ring with someone as bad a person as mayweather

    the list goes on. say what you want about floyd but there is absolutely NO DOUBT arum did not want and never intended on this fight happening ITS IRREFUTABLE PROOF!... and you wonder why floyd does not want to deal with him (i say that without even including the fact that he and floyd had a bad split and arum still owes him money from numerous fights)

    pac is defend able at times but arum. NO ****ING WAY

    Who is Pac really fighting or has fought to say that Mayweather really needs to fight him. Come on man, Marquez 4x, Brandon Rios, come on get the **** outta heer with that bull****. Mayweather beats Pac 10 out of 10 times, and that's not to say that Pac doesn't beat any other fighter but slick boxers,keep Pac away from them. Pac needs punching bags to look good.

    40 mil minus Arum's cut and no PPV.

    Floyd tried to low balled Pac.

    Of course only idiot will take the bait...

    ok but have you taken into consideration

    what pac walked away from in the first round of negotiations?
    and also that pac stated recently he is willing to fight for free and have the purses go to charity ?

    imagine he donated 40m to charity, hed almost ascend to the heavens

    Dumb idea, because if he did fight for charity, the IRS would include the income as his and they would probably allow the charitable deduction, but he's still owe millions. I believe that happened to Dempsey or Louis once upon a time.

    Floyd has tried to make the fight several times. Both sides are to blame. If Manny wanted the fight, why ***** out of a drug test and then say your happy to do it two years later? :lol:

    I wonder if promoters have looked at the atmosphere in some of the big European venues and the large crowds and the money generated and are hoping to make stadiums a more regular thing?
