    Didn't even bother reading but why didn't Floyd accept the counter-offer made by Arum that earns him $45 million? Because Floyd knows its just peanuts to what this fight makes :hi:

    So, generally means the number is negotiable and not set so we can only guess at the number. There is a reason Floyd offered what he did. It wasn't to make the fight happen. It was to make a deal in HIS best interest. The fact he wouldn't even negotiate the point is all you need to know.

    so if floyd doesn't want 50/50 and if he thinks his offer of$40M is enough, then why didn't he accepted arum's $45M counter-offer?

    **** the money guys!!! Mayweather hoped that would actually get this ducker to take the fight and he still didnt. so whats gonna happen when Mayweather-Cotto does 1.5 buy and Pac-Bradley dont do a mil?? We might never get to see the fight becausde Mayweather will only offer 20-30 mil after that.

    real quick for you Mayweather haters. how much you think Pac will get for the Bradley fight??? 5...6 mil??? so its cool to turn down 40 mil?? if thats doesnt tell you Pacquiao is a puss then what will???

    those are future numbers. as it is, pac-jmm got 1.41M PPV while floyd-ortiz got 1.25M buys. still floyd ducked pacquiao when he was offered a very far 50/50 split. no matter what happens in their next fight, it should be 50/50 split unless floyd really doesn't want pacquiao.

    If Floyd ever believed this fight wouldn't be a co-promotion and he would be the sole promoter he was an idiot. It is pretty obvious to the objective that he only wanted this fight if he could get the upper hand by dictating the terms. This isn't even worth debating because you have to ignore the obvious to claim otherwise.

    It's called PRIDE you idiot. You're the P4P King and a PPV attraction why would you accept a straight-up $40 million offer with no other revenue sharing? And **** that "not even counting the back-end of the deal" **** that Floyd is spewing. He's just saying this **** cause he already had his opponent made up and just to save face. It of quacks like a DUCK it is a DUCK. :deal

    why are you discounting Floyd's statement?

    A ducker is a guy who demands a SMW to fight at 147 and gets flat out rejected! And a guy who many if most not believe lost a 3rd fight (Marquez), if not the first and second, and won't make a fourth without a safer interim fight. Get it together.

    a ducker is a guy who ignored a very fair 50/50 split.

    It is terribly inaccurate and Floyd knew this. Just trying to cover his axe with his fans by making the offer seem reasonable and covering up his attempted money grab.
