    Rafael is also adamant that he doesn't think mayweather is going to sign, as well as giving credit to HBO, showtime and arum for their part in negotiations. He says he has his reasons for thinking this, on top of this being a charade on mayweathers part. I hope he is wrong, which he has been in the past.

    :huh ^ pretty much admitting you are boxing_master

    bringing up floyds ability to market himself and comparing it to floyds when it does not mean a thing, floyd is floyd he is the a-side numbers confirm this. floyds numbers arent good anymore either but they are still the best out there and surely drawf 300k v algieri ?.

    common opponents drew the same numbers except for marquez? cotto v floyd : 1.5 m buys SOURCE : http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Floyd_Mayweather_Jr_vs._Miguel_Cotto

    cotto v manny : 1.25 m buyshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manny_Pacquiao_vs._Miguel_Cotto

    so i mean you are wrong about that and seeing as i proved you wrong ill let you do a little research to see floyd consistantly beats ppv numbers vs manny in common opponents (i think the 4th marquez fight may have done more then floyd v marquez not sure)

    yeh you are right pac forgot his ego.. it was forced out of him when he took a loss and a big hit to his marketability, lets not forget whos team came up with all the issues when both fighters were prime and especially in 2012 with all bobs excuses (hell he just tried blocking the fight once again with bs mexican day excuses that have been debunked)

    floyd holds all the cards, if pac wanted 50/50 he should have taken the fight in 2009/2010 and gotten a better deal that he deserved then

    This.

    Anyone who believes either sides statements to the media is pretty naive. Truth is we have absolutely no idea what is going on behind the scenes.

    60-40 is good, any less than 40 would be robbery. 50-50 is reasonable, but not realistic considering the recent activity of both fighters.

    seriously?

    How anyone can defend mayweather now is beyond me you gotta be trolling

    so dan,lance and la times and other reporters are telling porkies when they say Floyd is the one not signing the fight?

    pac has agreed to everything less money may 2 usada testing(he could of said vada)

    if its all true then yes he is ducking, what i have my doubts about is weather floyd suggested 60/40. thats very generous of floyd (then again it prob came after much debate so who knows)

    i thought there was a gag order on everything? ill just wait for a week when both camps state the result of the negotiations (fight or no fight). thats when i think the gag order is lifted and they can both tell the public hopefully how making the fight went

    How am I defending mayweather?

    I'm saying we don't know what's going on behind the scenes, that's a fact.

    Truth is I blame everyone involved for this fight never being made.

    Are they at the negotiation table? No.

    They are being told by each camp what's going on, until I see it with my own eyes or it's signed I don't believe a single word from either camp.

    in the la times one guy who was involved in the negotiation revealed everything so yes he was involved

    guys like dan and lance have inside info more then anyone one of us

    and konz and pac are they not involved at the negotiation table? both have confirmed they agreed to everything and signed of Floyd is not signing for the fight many reporters confirmed this
