At this point, who holds more bargaining power? Who's legacy would it affect more if this fight never happens?
It depends on the situation. Its not necessarily the bigger star who has the better bargaining power. In this case it could be the person who wants the fight MORE might have LESS power to bargain with, which is pretty ironic.
bargaining power...... pff...Pac is a ***** with no opinion. Floyd is a ***** with too much opinion. For the amount of money that is involved theres not even need to bargain. Both only want this fight for when its time to retire. The result will be too costly on there existence.
Pac because he's higher ranked both currently and all-time. He could retire tomorrow with his place set as the best fighter of this era.
Agreed. I believe May has more bargaining power because pac has already said that he wants to prove that he wants the fight. So as long as Floyd's demands aren't too outlandish, pac should agree to prove he wants the fight.
Pac will be remembered as a great and this mayweather b.s will be a sidenote Mayweather will be remembered for this b.s. and a fighter who didnt live up to his massive potential
Ill remember pac as a machine who makes every fighter he fights give a comment about how abnormal he was. And weight draining his victims. Fast like a feather,strong like a middle,can take the biggest clean shot and he weights drain people... Would of enjoy his WW cleanup so much more if he would of fought the weight
I think Floyd's bargaining power was at a all time high right after the Mosley fight and that is when he should have fought him in November 2010. Now it seems as if Floyd needs the fight more than Manny does, but Floyd has proven he's a bigger draw and add on that he was asking for 100 million before, he obviously won't get that, but he may end up with a bigger share than Manny.
If Floyd requests something like that, it'll just be another way to kill the fight. You made a good point about Floyd's all time high after the Shane fight. But he's squandered it. 50-50 would be realistic. SHOULD BE 55-45 pac's favor since he's the only one fighting and has surpassed Floyd in rankes and money earned. 55-45 for Floyd kills it.
yup after that fight with shame was when he should've went for it came off a very dominant win from someone who folks thought would beat him, big money gate and ppv, and regained the p4p number 1
Floyd is the one making outrageous demands and the one who's keeping this fight from happening. Pac shouldn't have to bend over for Mayweather. Marquez did and look at the **** Mayweather pulled on him. Like most people have said, Pac will be remembered for all the fighters he beat and Mayweather will be remembered as a fighter with lots of potential but who refuses to fight.
