    care to explain? all i know is that both ali and frazier both accepted the 50/50 split and gave the fans what they want. floyd did not only accept it but he also want to exclude pac out of PPV revenues.

    wow come man you really do only know just pacquio and mayweather like some have said don't you.
    ok i will help you out a little.
    Before ali frazier first fight Ali was broke having just been allowed to start fighting again.
    frazier gave ali a shot and some money even tho he did not have to.

    who cares if ali is coming from inactivity? both accepted the 50/50 split and both came to fight. pac wants 50/50 but floyd doesn't. you can't compare floyd to anyone of these guys.

    i understand what floyd is saying, but what the hell was he doing calling out pac the last time if he didn't want the fight? what was all the step up punk all about if he does not want to be pushed for the pac fight?

    both of them wants the fight as opposed to pac only wants the fight while floyd fears for his safety. floyd has admitted it himself and he would not be forced by fans to fight someone that is a risk for his health.

    Frazier needed Ali. If they media hadn't constantly challenged him and brought up Ali, with Ali hounding him constantly, he may not have fought him.

    i didn't spin any ****. i did just go by floyd's own word. floyd doesn't want this fight with all his money excuse and saying things about his health in the future if forced by fans to fight someone that he doesn't want (floyd's own words here).

    ali and frazier both accepeted the 50/50 split to give the fans the fight that they want.

    Ali hurt Frazier emotionally because Frazier had his back when he was down and when Ali got out of his dilema with the goverment he didnt give Frasier any props. He started dogging him in the media and calling him uncle tom and all that **** when he knew that Fraziar was a good man and had been a friend to him. That **** hurt Fraizer and he never forgave Ali for that. Underneath all that, Ali respected Frazier because he earned it and he demanded it. 50/50 was a foregone conclusion. Fraizer couldn't be denied. Mayweather has very little to no respect for Manny. He believes that Manny is a hype job and possibly on steroids, He has no respect for his promoter or his trainer, He believes in his heart that Manny is not his equal in nothing and dont deserve to stand as an equal with him. Therefore, he dont deserve equal money. Thats the way I see it from just studying the two fighter. My take on Frazier and Ali is from what I heard Frazier and Ali say out of thier mouths.:bbb:bbb

    floyd doesn't need to respect pac to fight him. he just needs to be rational and fight. enough of that floyd BS.
