    "I'm ready to fight Pacquiao 5/5/12 Bob Arum know the date can't change I have my guarantee call Schaefer & Al and stop lying to the public." - Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Come on Bob. You're actually beginning to hurt legacies with this bull****.

    Looks like the ball is back in May's court though. Pac said basically call me back when you agree to a 50/50 and that was the end of the conversation.

    "I said just give me a 50/50 split in revenue and there would be no problem, anytime. It's up to you. We'll wait for your answer," Pacquiao recalled of the conversation. "

    :shock: I didn't know FLoyd was asking for more than 50/50. I thought he agreed to that 2 years ago

    Just quoting the article. People seem to be overlooking the fact that Pac accepted the fight and date IF he gets a 50/50 split. That now seems to be the new sticking point. Again, just quoting the part of the article that seems to get ignored. Pac accepted IF he gets equal revenue. Seems Floyd didn't agree to that during the call since Pac said the ball is now in May's court.

    Not sure how you got to that interpretation, but if the split was an issue, don't you think it would be the first thing out of Arum's mouth?

    Just going by what I read in that article. Pac said he would fight May 5 for a 50/50 cut and May doesn't seem to have offered it. Pretty simple.

    Keep riding that dead horse. Again, Pac accepted if he gets 50/50. He will fight May 5. Those are Pac's words. May is ducking if he won't go 50/50. Simple as. Everyone will know it too. :deal

    I think your right. But much like the fight there is a slight chance that it could happen.

    Really? Is that what you got from that post? Was it me really bitching about Floyd's tweets or was it me trying to steer the Floydette swarm's attention to the crux of the problem. Man maybe I'm not articulate enough or maybe my attempt at metaphor gets lost in translation, but I wasn't bitching about Floyd's actual tweets.....more like me bitching about *****s not knowing where to divert their attention and energies to. WTF yo, why bother quoting me when you don't even know what I'm saying?

    Here I highlighted some keypoints for ya

    So Pac accepted 50/50. Well to accept something, it
    has to be proposed to you. Who do you think did that?
    Who called who? Such a lame argument on your part.
