    Dude!!!!
    Why do you care about purse splits and PPV numbers. That has nothing to do with us!
    We want to pay our money for good fights.
    Here is the question.
    Will you lay down 55$ to see mosley and floyd fight if it's 50/50 split? Will you boycott or something?

    Because purse splits are a lot time why fights don't get made.

    I'm merely stating if Floyd laughs at Mosley and says no to 50/50 I don't blame him.

    Just like if Pac said no to Mosley if Mosley asked for 50/50.


    I'd pad for them to fight no matter the purse split. Like I said before, if the fight does not come off because Mosley is demanding more money that he deserves then I understand.

    Mosley doesn't deserve 50/50. He wouldn't be having a PPV fight if it wasn't for Floyd (or Pac)

    It's OK for Floyd to wait for PAC? Come'on, Floyd needs to move on, he needs to get a life inside the ring. Fans were already very very tired with all of this Floyd waiting game. I think it's better for Floyd to retire from boxing for good.

    No I didn't. I just don't get why Pacquiao trying to negotiate is bad.
    Should he have said no to all testing? Maybe... but at least he said "i'll give you some blood"

    The test immediately following the fight would show everything that was in his system for the fight.
    There is no denying that he would have no advantage in the fight that wouldn't be detectable immediately afterward.

    I would absolutely blame him.
    He complains about 50/50 vs his only option for a big fight right now?
    He gets a title shot at a top WW and a very credible win if he pulls it off.

    This love of money **** has to stop. It ruins every sport.

    What's wrong with Floyd wanting to wait to fight Pac?

    We have no clue what's going on with the negotiations between Mosley-Floyd.

    Just speculation.

    If Floyd waits for Pac. I think it goes to show he wants this fight badly. But of course he ducked Pac the first time right and now he's going to duck Mosley to wait for Pac, to duck Pac again?

    All these same sources were all right for the Pac/Floyd negotiations. This web site in particular broke a lot of the news.

    We don't know for sure what's happening, but I believe Floyd will make the right decision at crunch time an sign the fight.

    That's what every sport is about.

    Mosley is not a PPV attraction, so if he demanded something he's never going to get, why would you blame Floyd?

    So if Mosley said I want 75%, you'd still blame Floyd?

    A true WW fighter? What was Judah? What was Baldomir? What was Hatton?

    All of them were current/ex WW's champions.

    Floyd nor Pac are going to make the money they would if they fought each other.

    Floyd cashing in on Pac is also Pac cashing in on Floyd. Both would make huge amounts of money.

    why are you trying to buy floyd more time? didnt his fluffer (ellerbe) say everything was about done?
    given floyds history, if he doesnt fight mosely, his name will be crap. or bigger crap.
    im still hoping it gets made but im realistic about floyd.

    I wouldn't blame floyd for saying no to less than half.
    I think half is fair.

    ESPN and HBO all talk about Mosley/Mayweather
    The hype is there because Mosley is there and he annihilated Margarito.
    Mosley will be a PPV attraction with floyd, i'm sure of it.

    Marquez/Judah/Baldomir/Hatton - not PPV attractions outside floyd.

    Marley is a credible guy. He has sources. Yes it is the examiner, but Marley was all over Pac-May being off. This report is accurate because no one has refuted it. It has been out all day and not one word. Sorry folks, the beloved Floyd does deserves to be called a ducker and a chump. A brilliant talent, hall of famer, but he is no all time great. In order to be the best you have to fight the best. And Floyd has not.

    We'll see. It's merely speculation.

    so you think floyd should be the one demanding in this fight when clearly pac is ranked higher in terms of atg status..increase your IQ man..only low IQ like you should be acting like servants
