Is Floyd's 100M dollar demand written in that contract? I'm quite sure he had that in mind since the beginning.

With Floyd and Al Haymon looking to fleece as much as they can, wouldn't be surprised if they snuck that in there. This contract thing is pretty laughable, and quite sad really.

What a big and deceiving joke Floyd claimed that he already signed the contract to fight Pacquiao.

]Floyd Mayweather Jr. signed the contract without waiting for Pacquiao to read first his
revised version of the contract in which he inserted his baseless, distracting and very
malicious demand.

What an unethical attitude of a professional boxer who claims he's smart.

The fact is - he signed his very own contract.

Floyd is now trying to get positive responses from the majority men on the streets who are
not so knowledgeable in boxing and who would just believe what he says in the media.

In short, he's trying to fool us all and get the sympathy of innocent people in the bar of
public opinion.

The master of lies and twisted stories...FMJ!!

"Yesterday I was lying, Today I am telling the truth" Bob Arum

Caught for fraud- Bob Arum http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...ing-Arum-admits-bribe-over-Foreman-fight.html

PROMOTER Bob Arum has admitted in a New Jersey courtroom that he paid $100,000 (£62,500) in bribes to Bobby Lee, the International Boxing Federation president, in order to have a fight approved between then-heavyweight champion George Foreman and Axel Schulz of Germany.
"It was one of the stupidest, worst things of my life," admitted Arum. "I agreed to the payment in what I consider to be a very, very weak moment."

"We knew James Toney was on something for the Ruiz fight and we thought it would have been out of his system by fight night. The Steroids had no effect on the outcome of the bout bc Toney beat Ruiz with his skills" Freddie Roach.

Now this should prove to you that all these mother****ers are liars. If you want to call Floyd a liar then you must be crazy to put your trust in Arum and his boys.

He may have signed his own contract, but that contract should then have been passed on to Pacquiao for him to read through and either agree/sign, or reject/throw away. But Arum did not pass any of this information or any contract on to Pacquiao in the very late stages of the first negotiations (He admitted this in an interview). It was Arum's fault the fight didn't happen the first time...he saw the Clottey fight and took his chance.

Yeah I'm quite puzzled as well. Floyd and his camp crafted their own contract, Floyd signed it, and then presented it for negotiation. It doesn't work like that.

Negotiation should take place first BEFORE any party signs any contract. Ultimately, contract signing should only commence ONLY AFTER both parties have agreed to all conditions stipulated in the contract or at least arrive at a middle ground.

Pacquiao could have easily made his own contract with all the biases that he wants, sign it, and then send it to Floyd's camp. When Floyd's camp says "F*ck Off" Manny could then say "Hey, I signed the contract, he didn't."

Bottom line is, any half-signed contract from any camp is useless when both parties have not agreed to all conditions.

I thought this was common sense.:huh

Interesting. According to this article, Arum and Pac did the exact same thing:

Manny Pacquiao has signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in boxing's biggest fight on March 13, a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com on Friday night.

Pacquiao and promotor Bob Arum met for two hours Friday to discuss the proposed deal, according to Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz, who told The Associated Press that "Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn't think was a problem.

"The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn't feel it's a problem and it's pretty much a done deal," Koncz said.

Later Friday it became a done deal, at least on the Pacquiao side, when he signed the paperwork, the source said.

Mayweather had previously agreed to terms with Golden Boy Promotions, his promoter for the HBO PPV fight, but it was unclear if he had signed a contract.

The source also disclosed other aspects of the fight, which will take place at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds for Pacquiao's title and match the top two fighters in the world, pound-for-pound.

The camps agreed to a 50-50 split of the money, which could be gargantuan. Many experts expect the fight to eclipse the all-time pay-per-view record for sales, which is the 2.44 million buys generated by Mayweather's 2007 victory against Oscar De La Hoya.

Both fighters will wear 8-ounce gloves but each fighter will be allowed to select the brand of gloves he will wear for the fight.

For promotional purposes, the bout will be referred to as Mayweather-Pacquiao, but Top Rank will receive first billing over Golden Boy throughout the promotion.

**SNIP**

What do you think those 'additonal requirements' might be? Does this 'puzzle' you as well?
