    Ok.. at first i was all, Go Mayweather... woot! Good job man! Thats how you handle business man!

    But... now that he says he is not giving him 50%... he is basically asking for...

    1) Testing = Pac Agrees
    2) Location = Pac Agrees
    3) Fight on May 5 and loose out on millions more that could be made by extra attendace if built on stadium at end of the month = Pac Agrees
    4) Less than 50%.... too?

    I mean, fair is fair and Mayweather has dictated all the shots on this... but i think its a ploy of some sorts!

    Mayweather is smart man! I think he will say, ok; i will do 50/50 but take off the lawsuit and dismiss it...

    I hope thats the case, if not.... then i truly don't care anymore about this fight. We wanted to see them in their prime, not in 2013.

    Its like when we got Roy Jones Jr. vs Trinidad when they were past their primes.. it won't be the same..

    Stadium will bring more to the live gate I believe as it has a bigger capacity

    "This is ridiculous, another ridiculous excuse, that we would need more time to promote the fight. How much damn time do you need? This fight has been talked about for 2 years now," stated Ellerbe

    "He (Arum) has said that this temporary stadium would generate $60 million, so if you do the math on that, that would be saying that the average ticket price for fans would be $1500 a ticket for some bleacher seats, I repeat for some bleacher seats, out in the middle of a dusty parking lot with temporary bathrooms. And this is the funny part, the farthest seat would be 100 yards away, the length of a football field," A smiling Ellerbe would tell Boxing Scene.com

    "We don't have no wiggle room on our date. May 5th is our date and it is what it is. So imagine the likelihood of this temporary venue that Mr. Arum is talking about not being ready. So that would mean that we would have to move the date. Oh by the way, Mr. Mayweather has to surrender on June 1st, so therefore we couldn't do a fight. Imagine that," Ellerbe explained.

    I thought he wanted to fight manny very badly? Why not accept a 50-50? That is the noblest thing that Floyd can do to make the fight. No other fight other than money, but no 50-50? It should have been, no other fight other than manny if...

    Link? As has been pointed out to me numerous times, it only counts when Floyd says it. You guys gotta all stay on the same page. Looks bad for ya when you wander off script.

    Some people are saying he's demanding more and some are saying otherwise. Here's a video on ESPN(Thanks to Paulv) where this reporter publicly claims Mayweather wants more than 50%.

    They are still negotiating-Lance gave some good advice for once-He said let it play out for a few hours-I agree.

    I am sure Floyd will eventually say 50-50 is fine with him.

    He argues it won't make 60mil...which is true, not that it wont make more money because it definitely would.

    which doesn't benefit Pac since his last fight he was guaranteed 22 Mil and only got 6 Mil(And that was guarantee money) for all the dumb ****s who think Arum cares about pac or what he makes they're just as dumb as pac

    P.S. For you dummys who keep saying that OSDT was a road block if your a clean athlete when its cheating in sports and not just boxing, I talking every sport, why would you complain about taking a more sophisticated drug test that your opponent takes????
