I never once believed Manny was serious about being willing to take a smaller purse to make the fight. That was just ridiculous. I feel he deserves 50/50 at least. Kind of like Floyd's "I wanna clean up the sport of boxing" theory, both statements are complete and utter BULL****. But all this talk about who wants what purse, or who feels who deserves how much is more of what I like to call complete and utter BULL****. Why? Because there's no actual negotiating going on between either team. I mean, isn't that when all the mess about the percentages and purses are discussed and worked out? Pac says he wants 50/50. Floyd says no. I don't believe for a second that this is preventing them from meeting at the negotiating table. If anything, all it did was give Arum an excuse to spin so he could make the pathetic Pac/Cotto II fight.
Well Arum and Roach have both publicy stated they prefered November as a date anyway. It's Floyds impending jail sentence that is making Floyd want it right now.
What can be done for making the fight in November that can't be done in March, is what I'll never understand.
