    Pacs only on 12.5% :shock: (even with a guarantee thats low). Maybe it in Arums interest to keep this arangement going....

    Exactly, because like you said even if Pac is clean, he still has to pass the tests

    While if Mayweather makes weight, he doesn't have to pay a penny.

    Pac is clean -> still has to take the tests
    Floyd makes weight -> nothing happens and he doesn't have to pay a penny.

    It's not the same.

    If you take a guarantee instead of a % of the revenue, you make less money if the fight is a great PPV success.

    It's in Oscar's American Son book. He describes the situations back when he used to work at top rank!

    Why don't the Void fans put pressure on Void to fight Pac? Problems is that Void fans do not want Void to fight Pac for fear of losing. Same with Void, Jr., Void, Sr., Roger, and Jeff, etc. They will show their fans how good they are by beating up more and more women, perhaps a small child also?

    And Mayweather will have to take the test.

    Floyd isn't a superstitious man.

    Manny is.

    Manny has to hit the heavy bag of the Las Vegas gym the day before the fight. He has to not bleed or he weakens (hell, in the Phils, there are people who believe bullets can't penetrate them if they wear an amulet), he has to wear good socks, he has to use 8 oz Reyes gloves, etc, etc, etc.

    The man came from the ghetto of ghettos in the Philippines FFS

    Philippines is a very religious/superstitious country.

    You're an insult to stupidity.


    I clearly said something, and you quoted it.
