    "Forget 60-40, It Would Be A Cold Day In Hell!"
    "Any Possible Opponent Should Be Happy With 30-35% Split"

    "You Can Tell Floyd Mayweather That Bob Arum Said He Is Delusional, Floyd Is Not The Attraction, Manny Is The Attraction. Floyd Has No Idea What He Is Talking about. Even A 50 - 50 Split is non sense."

    Im a Floyd fan but even I agree with this. He's not the attraction, Manny is..

    I want to punch him everytime his acting all delusional n ****. Thinking that he's the reason why the Hoya/Hatton fight did so well. That's Total BS.

    Also


    i really dont understand how you can numerically argue

    floyd vs odlh ppv #'s >>>> manny vs odlh ppv #'s
    floyd vs hatton ppv #'s >>>> manny vs odlh ppv #'s

    how is manny the draw when floyd's ppv #'s were clearly better when fighting common opponents?

    the nail in the coffin for the Pac nuthuggers will be when PBF/JMM does more PPV's than Pac/JMM did.

    Arum will have no argument then. None.

    It should at worst be a 50/50 fight or even 60/40 in favor of Mayweather.

    Lol any possible possible should be happy with 30-35.

    Jesus.

    Pacquiao fans are going to blame floyd for the fight not happening now.

    That's a thing called negotiating.

    You demand more than you think you deserve.

    Pac TKO DLH 9. Pac KO Hatton 2. Does that mean Pac is the better fighter? Numbers dont tell the whole story...its the circumstances around it.

    what are you talking about?

    what the hell do the results of the fight have to do with anything?


    oscar da la hoya vs floyd mayweather did more units than oscar de la hoya vs manny pacman


    ricky hatton vs floyd mayweather did more units than ricky hatton vs manny pacman

    what difference do the results have?
