    These are the things Pacquiao conceded:

    • Title Name (Mayweather vs Pacquiao instead of Pacquiao vs Mayweather).
    • Ring Entrance Order (Pacquiao will come in to the ring first).
    • Non-mandatory additional blood testing.
    • Date and Venue.

    Tell me. What should have Floyd compromised on? Except for the money split, what should he have compromised on that he already didn't compromise on during the 1st negotiations

    He did concede to glove size if I remember right.

    The previous four opponents of Mayweather wore 8 oz. gloves I think and he even let Marquez wore Cleto Reyes Gloves so did Mayweather really concede by letting Pacquiao wear 8 oz. Cleto Reyes Gloves?

    Don't matter. Floyd wanted 10 oz gloves and Pac wanted 8 and Floyd conceded.

    Floyd wanted the original fight in May 2010 as well as HBO and Arum. Only Pacquiao wanted it in March because of his political race, but Floyd agreed to that also.

    Floyd wanted a bigger purse at first and later agreed to 50/50 back then

    He even compromised on his drug testing in the first negotiation and offered a 14 day cutoff

    Floyd also wanted to fight at 154 and Pac's team wanted a catchweight below 147 and later wanted the fight at 147 and Floyd agreed to that.

    Not to mention they made Floyd agree to a 10 million dollar weight penalty.

    I think it's easy to say that Floyd is the one who made most of the concessions back then.

    What's the point in the weight penalty? It's not like making 147 is difficult for him.

    None of that matters now. None of it.

    That was after he screwed over Marquez. Doesn't seem relevant now but they keep bringing this up like it matters now.

    Offer me that much money you can pick everything, even my haircut.

    It's just egos, these two are amazingly talented but sometimes I wish Boxers would just act like fighters.

    Go hit up your boss Arum and ask him what to reply

    The weight penalty has been argued numerous times already. The point of that is to stop the unsporting ***** move Mayweather did against Marquez. What is the harm of it existing anyway? Nothing, it will not affect both fighters unless they deliberately cheat.
