    The 40M phone call offer was in 2011. I don't count that as the one time they negotiated.

    2009 was actual negotiations between both camps. They even had a contract written up with each sides' demands. One side walked away and admitted why they walked away, blood testing, at that time.

    Guerrero 875,000
    Alvarez 2.2 mil
    Maidana 1 850,000
    Maidana 2 900,00
    = 4,850,000 divided by 4 = 1,212,500
    If you're looking through the peephole you'd see this as a failure, if you open the door you'd see the whole house. Showtime not losing money or sleep over Mayweather PPV numbers, nor should any boxing fans.

    He probably had someone translate for him, if you've ever seen an interview where he's talking in his native tongue he's actually quite eloquent.

    I can type better French than actually speaking it out loud.
    Manny for all his flaws, still types better than your hero.

    Currently Pacquiao is a Boxer, Politician, Basketball coach, Actor.... Still Pacquiao remains an elite force and Top 2 P4P.

    How will Pacquiao be now if he were to be a Full-Time Boxer who fights 3 times a year and only Boxing on his mind?

    Exactly. English is his 3rd or maybe 4th language. When he speaks tagalog (2nd language or 3rd?) he speaks fluent already. Of course a ***** like cormega doesn't take this into account because of his limited reasoning.

    Manny's promoter/lawyer/accountant convinced him that Joshua Clottey abd Chris Algieri are bigger fights than Mayweather, apparently you agree

    I like Manny's latest duck in the negotiations when he never let his contract run out and sign with the up and coming management team of TMT!

    Well, I guess it was more than saying "he is scared" and "talk to my promoter," now that you mention it...
