Is there really any doubt now even to Floyd fans that PBF engineered his way out of the fight with Pac, and is now building more layers of bull**** around him to avoid Pacquiao in the future??? OPEN YOUR EYES FFS PEOPLE!!!!!!
While I like Floyd a little better than Pac... I don't think those numbers are a completely fair indicator of drawing power. Pac wasn't at the level he is now when he fought Oscar and Marquez. I'm not saying his numbers would be better than Floyd H2H at this point, but I think it would be a little closer than what it is now.
I agree somewhat... But the problem is... Bob Arum completely shut down the negotiations when he felt like he was winning the P.R. Battle (after repeatedly violating the gag order with misinformation).... And he rushed and signed Joshua Clottey in a possible attempt to make Floyd look even more shitty. (Too bad the move will backfire when The Grandmaster whips Pac's ass) Then the unthinkable happened and the opportunity to fight Shane fell into Floyd's lap. Not saying he really, really wanted it, but he got it, and of course there was added pressure for him to fight Shane, so the deal was made. This scenario we see today is more about Bob Arum's bull**** blowing up in his face than either of the fighters being scared.
But no one seems to have answered why 50/50 is even an issue for Pac? I thought money wasnt an issue for him thats why he had no qualms turning down 25 million for a blood test???
The "Pacquiao doesn't care about the money" comments always make me laugh. [url]http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3854403[/url]
After Floyd beats Mosley by UD, mosley should still get a shot against Pac considering it will be a very exciting fight, mind you Mosley could get stopped late a la cotto
Would you like to use that same logic after May 1st, and compare the Floyd-Shane #'s to the ones for Pac-Clottey??? I didn't think so. Sit down, hoe.
only two days ago in his interview , Floyd said he aint no money hogger cus if he was, he would have fought pac without his new blood olympic test machine. he also said "money does not make who mayweather is" and now he wont accept 50/50 purse. hahahah “If it was all about money for me, I would’ve said ‘I don’t care what Manny Pacquiao does, just give me the money, I’ll take it,’ ” . wtf??? what a Duck. lol talk about a contradiction.
So by your logic if Mayweather vs Mosley brings in more than Pacquiao vs Clottey then Floyd will be the bigger draw as he got the bigger PPV.
