    but...
    Do you remember starting a thread awhile back about what Floyd would ask next if Pac agreed to his drug testing demand?
    A lot posted that Floyd's next move is to change 50-50 and ask for 60-40.

    I have been expecting this. :yep

    Pac should demand extra padding in his gloves to protect his hands when he shatters floyds glass jaw.

    Why the hell does Pac want to fight in Dallas so bad? He's fought in Vegas countless times.

    Dallas sucks as a city. There is nothing to do there. You'd have tens of thousands of bored people wandering the city fight week. Keep it in Vegas and keep people entertained. So what if they can't pack in 100k. 80% of them people couldn't see the ring anyway.

    You are wrong about this dude... Really you are.

    Cotto is bigger than Mosely. There really is no debate about it.

    Still, I think they should fight 50/50 with random blood 5 days out.

    :lol: It's not over till the fat lady sings, but with these demands it doesn't look to promising that this fight is gonna happen.

    Damn I hate random "slick" threads like this. Only ******* idiots will get all hyped about this BS and talk smack. There is absolutely NO SOURCE! Anyway it is all easily explained by past events.

    -- He earned more that double in his last fight and +200K against an opponent that Pac's team said was "unsellable".
    -- Yeah everyone wants a mega fight in an arena surrounded by a Discount tire (auto repair), a Walmart, and no hotels. Nothing says world class like Walmart!
    -- When has FMJ ever wanted different sized gloves?
    -- He got top billing and ring entrance last time.
    -- He negotiated in good faith last time and Pac's team flaked.
    -- He didn't go for the last belt and it had ZERO bearing on the buys.
    -- Pac's lawsuit would become useless if he drug tested anyway. Pac sure isn't keeping it in the news. Who sues for $75K anyway?

    If Pac/Margarito happens in November we all know why. Pac better just take his PED's and start knocking out politicians.

    $75k? Where'd you hear that. I never heard a figure but would imagine it'd be 75 million. The lawyers would make more than 75k

    ... but here's why I think he would pull this move again... yes, I mean again.

    Years before, Floyd agreed to fight Winky 50-50 provided Winky weighed 154 at the morning of the fight.

    Winky agreed, but when it was time to close the deal, Floyd changed the split to 55-45.

    Do you see the simiarities if Floyd is now demanding 60-40?

    The exact wording was "...seeks damages in excess of $75K". So technically it would be more, but it is a paltry amount to begin with. Anything under multi-millions won't be worth the high profile lawyers filing it.

    Harder to find it now. It was on a few Asian sites but was aged off.
