    $10M penalty is appropriate coz w/o it, floyd might come in 2lbs overweight, heck, who knows it might be 5lbs over...you know how he cheats..:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Im not talking about what SHOULD BE considered concessions but what Team Floyd actually conceded:

    -Floyd wanted the fight in May, FACT
    -Floyd wanted 10oz gloves, FACT
    -Floyd wanted the top half of the purse, FACT

    Its funny how selective our memories are, anybody who'd been on ESB for the past month knows just how many expected all of these things to be the bumps in the road that could derail this fight. So Floyd avoids them and complies to each stipulation.....okay great, don't pat yourself on the back, you were supposed to correct? Correct! But now Floyd would like both fighters to take USADA regulated drug tests and he's somehow "pushing it", he's "pulled the last straw", he's "asking of too much", he's "bitching his way out of the fight".....EXPLAIN THIS TO ME PLEASE

    One has to choose whether the above is:

    A. tart sarcasm; or B. idiotic ignorance.

    Poll.

    leave it to floyd fans to say 50/50 is a concession

    I suppose floyd not having the judges and ref of his choice are a concession too huh

    Pac also wanted the top half of the purse before! but he knows the magnitude of the fight...how is this a concession when they were given a 50/50 split?

    If Floyd thinks he's compromising anything he should say, "agree to the test or I don't agree to paying 10m for pound".

    concession/compromise whatever you'd like to call it. Freddie Roach said right after the Cotto fight that 50/50 gets the fight done and its up to Floyd to accept....Floyd at the time wanted more money, but on his half he compromised and put that pride aside. Let me make this clear when I say 'concession' I'm referring to Floyd agreeing to a term he previously wouldn't have

    I didn't say it was a concession dude I personally think it would be a crying shame if either fighter ended up with the lion's share, but Floyd accepted 50/50 after previously saying that wouldn't happen! goodness grief....:patsch

    Roach also said they wanted more, but would agree to 50/50 if its warranted. I think Pac's team gave in to the 50/50 deal as much as PBF did. They both know whats right moneywise.

    Agreeing to actually weigh in at the WW limit is now being portrayed as a concession by Mayweather?!

    How about all these other 'concessions' Floyd made?

    -Agreed to fight in a ring
    -Agreed 12 round duration of fight
    -Agreed that punching each other in face would be allowed

    OP missed out so many more things that could have been included....

    I said it was a concession to Team Mayeather. Meaning Team Mayweather agreed to a term he previously said he wouldn't agree to or didn't want. I never said I believed they were concessions- WAIT let me further underline for you, I never said I believed they were 'justified' or 'legit' concessions, I simply said these were things Floyd's camp conceeded. goodness grief, now your trying to twist my words because you simply have no rebuttal
