It never even got that far into negotiations, according to Penagaricano and Koncz. They both couldn't agree on the weight and that was it. Mayweather did duck Pacquiao, and has always ducked Pacquiao. He uses Pacquiao's name because he knows the media eats it up. Pacquiao's name never made it to the list of possible opponents for Mayweather for the May 5 fight, that was sent to MGM. Koncz went to his gym, it was Koncz who put them on the phone together. Mayweather even admits to talking to Koncz. Mayweather DECLINED 50-50, 55-45% to the winner. Mayweather knows Cotto is an easy pay day. Pacquiao brings twice what Cotto brings in legacy and money. It's a cherry pick fight.
I said from day one this was PUBLICITY STUNT. ANYTIME Mayweather says Pacquiao's name people EAT IT UP. Mayweather was NEVER serious about fighting Pacquiao. Cotto is an EASY PAY DAY.
When is Pacmans contract with Arum up? Pacquiao first accepted less, now he wants 50/50, then once that's met its going to be something else.
dont work like thatatsch:rofl:rofl Floyd is the draw and he gonna make the demands, from a business standpoints-IF his demands are turned down, he'll just go make 40-50 fighting someone else and Pac can go make his little 20-25 fighting whoever.:deal Don't work like how your saying little guy-but good try. try again.
exactly! these guys aren't realizing that it's pac bringing up the excuse-Floyd is perfectly valid, GIVEN THE FACT THAT HE AVERAGES 240 THOUSAND MORE PPV BUYS, TO ASK FOR MORE.
Style wise Cotto is a harder fight for Floyd- Floyd considers Pac's style easy-..it looks easy too-all those sloppy combos and sloppy footwork- In Floyd's mind, Pac is a much easier fight. :deal take your sloppy opinion with little to back it elsewhere:deal
Floyd waited the fight out for the last two/three years, now Arum won't let it happen. Manny should take more control of the situation, but the bulk of the blame rests squarely on both Mayweather and Arum.
1. Pac's team want to make JMM-Pac IV fight 2. Cut needs 8 months to heal 3. Arum said Floyd going to jail so can't make fight 4. May 5th fight will be reserved for JMM-Pac IV fight **(FMJ sentence pushed)** 5. Arum says May 5th too soon for cut to heal 6. Need time to build large stadium 7. Fight should be in Dubai or Dallas not Vegas 8. Floyd NEEDS to personally call me -Bob Arum 9. Arum is not sure why Schaffer keeps calling him, so Arum won't return call 10. Pacquiao has picked right opponent but it's a secret...shhhh... 11. Purse has to be 50/50, even though Pac said he would take the smaller purse 12. Arum said he is not pushing for fight because Floyd is really fighting Guerrero 13. Pac is running for president and fighting Floyd would not be good press because of Floyd's disrespectful ways. 14. Arum doesn't know who to call to reach Floyds business 15. Floyd must first guarentee his purse (yet Floyd and MoneyTeam have more money than all inverstors combined). 16. Pactarrds say May 5th is only for mexicans. 17. Pac says Floyd can't demand OSTD 18. Blood testing weakens Pac 19. Pac is afraid of needles 20. Floyd is too big 21. Need more time to promote fight. 22. Top Rank has investors needed for a fight of this magnitutude..joe jackson and Bobby Brown 23. Mayweather is fighting Erik Morales so pac has to fight a possible other 4 guys. 24. People won't pay to see Mayweather's style 25. "I don't even know what ees a steroid" -Manny Pacquiao -Future President of the Filipines 26. Maywaether may not get a licensed by the boxing commision, so we can't negotiate fight- Bob Arum 27. We need a bigger temporary stadium to have lower ticket/ppv prices for the fans 28. Floyd Mayweather's team are amateurs 29. Mayweather camp are negotiating through the media 30. Arum is giving him a dose of reality, thats why he's not making the fight. 31. Pac and Arum playing games with floyd to mock him. 32. Mayweather had his chance but he blew it in 2009. 33. Floyd doesn't REALLY want to fight, he's just posturing. 34. Fight would have been already over ages ago had it not been for floyd making it impossible 35. Arum: "We still don't know who to talk to on Mayweather's side"!!! :deal
pac said he would take less thinking that the time and place can be negotiated, but mayweather already booked may 5 at MGM. so asking for 50/50 or 45/55 for the winner is not a fair deal and floyd ducked it
He was thinking Cotto because Pacquiao was clearly ducking and there was little change of that fight taking place.
