    Pre-Mosley demands are old news. That negotiation failed. Whatever was agreed to or not agreed to there is irrelevant.

    This kind of post is hilarious. Mosley is the guy people said Floyd would NEVER fight and the same Mosley Roach said he wouldn't put Pacquiao in against because he was too dangerous. Floyd beat the stuffing out of Mosley, not to mention selling more Pay-Per-Views than Pacquiao could even with De La Hoya. Yes, that's a better position than he was last time.

    not really, it still doesnt explain why he didnt want to clean up the sport then but does now, and just because he wasnt the cash cow then didnt mean he couldnt request osdt i mean all he had to do was ask but he didnt. and he wouldve had a right to do so because oscar was caught using illegal painkillers in nevada which is more than pac has been caught doing. he doesnt giv a **** about cleaning up the sport you and i both know that

    and as far as being in control he gave that up when he retired and pac went on to take over

    You're acting as if Floyd's position against Oscar at the time is comparable to Manny's now, which is quite preposterous. Newsflash: In a fight with no American name, against a nobody from Ghana, he did numbers better than anything Floyd had done previous to his match with Oscar. Take a comparison of Pac/Cotto vs Floyd/Mosley and you have a .2 million difference, in a bout which was severely underpromoted, and took place before the economy had started to resurge, and before boxing made its way back into the headlines. While I will concede Floyd is "plausibly" a slightly bigger draw in the US, your analogy is hyperbolic, to say the least.

    those were the p4p #2 and #3 guys u idiot!!!

    either way the 14day cut off is old news.....Pac could have accepted that before march and we would've already seen mays hand raised over a koed pac but pac declined

    now pac accepts an old ass compromise after getting his ass whooped in ppv sells for a second consecutive time and u guys act like this deal just got put forward

    well no pac already blew the fight the first time by not accepting this deal

    now he is going to blow the fight a second time for accepting a deal that is no longer offered....

    he is an idiot and his (ignorant/ not smart) fans are even dumber for defending this

    whats on the table is no cut off date accept that pac and then if floyd says something else then lets make post about floyd being scared

    No. Making that request to Oscar wouldn't have gotten him anywhere. Oscar got all of his demands and Floyd had to take them or walk. He took them, won the fight, and is now the draw. That's just how it is.

    Let them have their delusions and continue making absurd arguments for why this fight shouldn't be made.

    so, compare all common opponents


    oh you don;t want to, because floyd trumps manny

    also, floyd is involved in the top two non-heavyweight ppvs, not manny

    face it, the clottey fight DID NOT help pac's position, while the mosley fight DID help mayweather's

    that being said, i dn't care what the split is, i don't care what the cut-off is

    both guys are acting like bitches

    make the fight

    thats like saying u shouldn't be drug tested at ur job if u have never admitted to or been convicted of using drugs!!!

    it is completely counterintuitive to the point of any drug or steroid test for that matter

    How can you even compare the numbers Josh Clottey would bring in on a ****ing american PPV to Shane Mosley's, especially when one fight was promoted the hilt and the other rolled around with little to no advertising chutzpah at all?

    Also, will Floyd defenders please stop using the "compare common" opponents argument? What you fail to realize is Manny's only become a household name since his fights with De La Hoya and Hatton -- sound like anyone familiar? And against "common opponents" (i.e. Mosley and Cotto), they have very comparable numbers. And considering Top Rank can't promote its arse from its elbow, that's pretty impressive for Manny.

    its got nothing to do with p4p. if the number 2 and 3 p4p were a ****ing strawweight and a bantemweight and floyd beat them would it still mean the same thing ? NO jmm was a ****ing lightweight who pac allready beat and mosley was 38 year old man who got beat by cotto so cotto and clottey are by far better oppenents so therefore pac is still number 1 p4p

    lol jmm was a lightweight just like pac, and mayweather and every other lightweight who decided to move up to welter weight

    the only problem is that marquez bit off more than his little ass could chew


    and JMM was #2 or #3, im not sure which, partly because of how he whooped the #1 guys ass twice (PAC) ..chew on that apple
