    Pacquiao is obviously surrounded by some shady ****ers. What is he playing at ?​

    Well so. he said that about the 50/50 so Pac can just go for a little more. If he gets to 55/45 maybe that's good enough.

    Perhaps if he didn't have such a large payroll, he wouldn't feel he needed 60%

    If you were a boxer, and on your last 2 fights before retiring, you would do your best to get as much money as possible too.

    You can call that greedy if you want to.

    And he has said that he feels that he isnt worth "only" 50%.

    Maybe he'll agree with 52 or 55. I feel that he will, in the end.

    Pac has to get as much of the split as he can. not just for this fight but for negotiating purposes with Mayweather. It's his last two fights and then he's done.

    I'd also be thinking to myself thats theres every chance of a career high purse slipping through my fingers for the sake of 2 percentage points......

    He has the upper hand here though.

    The deadline has not elapsed. He can still bluff until the eleventh hour.

    If the numbers still doesnt budge, he still has the last say whether the fight happens or not.

    I think he does want the fight to happen, he's just waiting for the right time to show his cards.
