    No 40 mil with no PPV is a slap in the face to the 2nd biggest draw in boxing ! What part of that do you not get :huh

    And it wasn't the 50/50 it was the extra drug testing stop leaving out facts !

    And it was Floyd that created the Arum Roadblock after all this ! Way to spin it in Floyd's favor as usual!


    Your idol just saw too much of a risk for the reward and his actions and selection of opponents have proved it time and time again !

    And lets not even include his words ! Not his managers ,his lawyers,HIS WORDS!

    are you saying 50/50 with PPV was unreasonable?
    you've just done exactly what the last guy left out I was debating on this - and left out the PPV $$$ issue

    Let's face it, if the fight gets announced, 99% of boxing fans, and casuals, will pop like fook and all the talk will be "who you got?"

    Every time Floyd made an offer Pac rejected yet it's supposedly Floyd that's ducking, what's clear is that facts don't matter to Tards, all they know is that they hate Floyd so everything must be his fault regardless of the facts...

    What I find fascinating is a fight, that's clear neither camp wants, has enraged us fans to the point of malice towards each other. We're ****ed lol

    You want another fact, Cotto left Arum and negotiated a shot at Floyd with his biggest payday in a matter of days....

    If Pac resigns with Arum yet again what you going to say? Is that not a duck? Resigning with Arum is Pacquiao basically admitting that round robin retreads of Marquez, Alvarado, Bradley, Rios is his level, he resigns he'll stay at that level...don't even worry about Floyd at that point...

    Arum wants it now, but didnt before. Heres an excerpt from one of my articles explainiing it.

    "The public was raging for a Floyd-Manny matchup. A lot of that rage was directed toward Floyd Mayweather. The public was convinced that Mayweather was ducking Pacquiao, that he was afraid of him. So as a businessman, what do you do when you see that none of the heat is on you for not making a fight, and it is still in high demand? You stall. You stall until judgment day, you stall until the pigs fly. That’s exactly what Arum did, because there was more money in not making a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, then there was in making one. There were multi-million dollar fights being made from the hype of that fight, that didn’t even include the fighters the hype was built off.
    Let’s say that fight had gotten made, and Mayweather embarrassed Pacquiao. I’m not saying he would have, but let’s say for the sake of this theory, he did. Where does that leave Arum? With no more hype, his fighter exposed, the hype fabricated, and the end result a pitiful one? It leaves him at a dead end. This Mayweather-Pacquiao situation is one of the few where the mystery was worth more than the conclusion. Manny Pacquiao has been paired with Mayweather’s leftovers for a while now, and with the exception of Marquez, has looked just as good against them, even if he has faced lesser versions of them. Most of the public doesn’t think about versions, they think about a name. Never mind that Cotto and De La Hoya were at catch weights. Never mind that Hatton was shot, never mind that Mosley was coming off of a loss to Floyd. All that matters to the public are the names Cotto, De La Hoya, Mosley, and Hatton. Once again, I do not blame Pacquiao or consider him a ducker, or a cherry-picker, because he fights who’s put in front of him. It’s really an ingenious strategy by Arum. Match him with fighters his rival has already beat, have him fight them at their lesser versions and insist you want to make the fight against the rival, while also deflecting most of the public’s hate to him. All the while knowing you have no intentions of making the fight. It’s beautiful and sick at the same time. It makes me sick as a fan of boxing that greed can put an end to a fight that needed to be made, but it’s incredible to see just how far a businessman will go for good business. If that fight would have happened there would have been one huge lump sum of profit promised, and then the possibility of not so much money in the aftermath of it. He made all of this money surviving off of the hype. The only thing that had to be constant was both Mayweather’s and Pacquiao’s dominance. One of those did."

    LOL. It's funny though. The fact that the Floyd/Pac fanbase war is still on just shows that the fight still has value

    If he ain't going to do shiznit and is too easy, then easy fight and money for Floyd then right??? He will get tons of respect and lots of money, then he will shut up most of his critics. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose.


    Now try and defend that
