    Not even ... he's not giving Floyd the highest purse of his career ... its the other way around ...

    Everyone who fights Floyd gets the biggest Payday of their career --

    If Floyd demands 60-70%, the fight will not happen. Arum and Pac will simply sidestep him and go for the next best opponent.

    OHHHHH I see!!! They have to be Americans to count!
    I bet Manny has more fans in Europe than Floyd. And since the Euro is doing better than the dollar.........

    Mayweather is the same old same old. There's been a million other boxers like him throught the years. Pac is a FREAK OF NATURE. His image is extremely marketable. Little humble asian man who DESTROYS everyone even when everyone is saying he is going to lose. Along with that you get the humble, likeable personality, the poor background in the philipines, the not ducking fighters, fighting 4 locked hall of famers, fighting 8 times against locked Hall of Famers and on and on.

    You could write books and books about the guy.

    Mayweather is just another boxer with great skills and a big mouth. There were people better than him before...Ali etc except Ali had more class and when he said he was the best he said it with a sense of humour and a cheeky glint in his eye. He oozed CLASS.

    There has been no one like Pacqauio in the past. The speed of a featherweight and the power of a middleweight. The guy is a mutant.

    ....and he is going to be a HUGE star.

    His fans use the excuse "Floyd should get the bigger share" to justify him if he doesnt take the fight. Its a built-in excuse for them.

    No he wouldn't. Its far fetched to think a fighter who has yet to fight above 135 and who is also 36 or 37 to beat a man who is larger, younger, faster and seen as a technically better boxer. What floyd is doing is trying to up his stature by doing what many would do in his position. Take the path that at the surface level creates excitiment but when you begin to peel back the layers of this onion you see its also a path of very little risk.:deal THis is the exact same situation when DLH vs PAC was put out there....only PAC was able to defy odds....I'm not so sure JMM will be able to do the same thing.

    Who has Pacquiao fought that was an outstanding boxer?

    He's hot now but there has been many of people that have been hot during PBF's reign ... he's been the only one that has been consistant.

    Pacquiao hasn't done anything to prove that he deserves the majority of the purse ... he hasn't outsold Mayweather on the PPV's ... he hasn't out performed Mayweather.

    The thing is he's hot right now but that doesn't command the majority of the purse.
