    not because I don't want to watch it but for the respect for Pac. PacMan is the biggest thing in boxing right now and all he is asking for is just what he is worth. If they can't give him that than there's no shame in walking away. He will just box for less for the love of the sport. Pac box to feed the peoples. One thing we can all agree on is that he will always entertain us. Go PA(< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (< (<

    asking for something that you deserve is definitely not greed. it is wrongly getting something that is beyond your status and accomplishments compared to the other guy. now, that is greed.

    boxing is as much a business as a sport and market economics and forces show that pacman aint worth more than 50%, the 52% offer is vey generous

    having enough and wanting more is greed.

    the only person that could judge if it is enough is the guy himself. apparently, it wasn't.

    If you approve of Pac`s greed then your not even worth this post but Im bored in work so I`ll post anyway.

    I hope Pac fights Mayweather & gets humiliated for acting like a selfish little *****, this is one of the few fighters that supposedly fights for the fans :-(.... it really is depressing stuff.

    Calling the Pacman greedy simply because he asked for what he rightfully deserves is unfair. Everyone knows that he 50/50 is a bad deal to begin with.

    Shouldn't we call Hatton greedy as well since he's not willing to give more than 50% of the fight proceeds?

    Should have been 50/50, 60/40 is absurd.

    Last I've heard, a 55/45 split was agreed and they're fighting.

    calling yourself greedy for a pre-arranged deal that you have not entered is unjustifiable

    So many would love to make a fraction of the money they are making.

    There's just too many articles that comes out all together almost at the same time . . . and it's hard to chose which to believe.

    The last thing I've read is that the . . . 52/48 split offer over stays but Arum will increase Pac's guaranteed prize out of his own pocket.

    :-( :huh
