    :patsch.............if he didn't want to go and fight there, then he should have mentioned that, not some BS 100 million dollars. Have some respect for N. Mandela who was ill at that time someplace in the U.S.

    If he didn't want to go and fight in africa, then as a businessman you obviously have to make it worth his wild. Floyd is saying 100 million i'll fight in africa i'll fight on the moon.

    Fact is if you come back to mayweather regarding the fight on US domestic soil, he won't be asking for no 100million.

    Why don't arum try that?

    LOL took the words right out of my mouth. If he doesnt want to fight there, show some more class by just saying so. Dont go ask for some absurd amount as you're way of saying no. :-(

    Blade give it a rest! Not even Floyd's own family is defending him on this situation. His own father and uncle Jeff stated that it was an unrealistic demand. Why should he get more for fighting in Africa anyway? Its not as if Pac has any advantages over there. If anything, it's Floyd with the advantage given he's African American.

    If you don't understand that part I really can't help you.

    You should have studied economics in school.

    And how does this game work exactly? Everyone acquiesces to that fake 'gangsta' wannabe coward's demands? Like it or not, lil' Floyd does have previous history when it comes to ducking other fighters....

    And now we have Spadawho? Why doesn't the coward take on Martinez at 154
    and show Pacquiao who's the real p4p? He won't though as he'd be at definite disadvantage. ****in' pissing Mandela's people around like that, what a vile scumbag of a human being. What an honour being asked to fight at the great man's 93rd & possibly last birthday.

    Well, Void is just being Void...

    So you honestly feel he has the right to demand DOUBLE the amount for fighting in Africa than he would make here in the states for the same exact fight? Be realistic Blade. $100millions dollars for one fight just because he's leaving his home turf? This has nothing to do with common economics and has more to do with either greed or a way out of the fight.

    Of course he has to a right demand that amount he is his own boss, now whether he gets it is another story.

    The 100 million reflects two things, floyd feels that is what he is worth INTERNATIONALLY or he has no intention of fighting in South Africa.

    Now back to the economics equation. When a third party comes in from overseas and wants your services you automatically over price yourself.

    Take Amy Winehouse for example, solid UK artist, has a number of gigs in england, good pay, suddenly a third party from russia comes in ask her to sing at an event. Her agreed upon fee 1 million pounds.

    A couple months later a third party from dubai comes in ask amy to do 5 gigs over in dubai, the agreed upon fee 5million pounds.

    Amy has made more money in these last two examples than she has done domestically in the UK through albums, UK tours e.t.c.

    Internationally it's a whole different ball game.

    David Beckham left real madrid (spain) to play for a shitty american soccer team for 1 million dollars a week. This is a guy who is past his prime.
