    Pac just taking 40% means Floyd makes up to $20 million more, as if he were fighting another big PPV fight that same night. Anyone who thinks that is fair is clearly a *****.

    Remember when floyd and ODLH both split it for the mega fight?

    me neither

    ODLH got more because he is the BIGGER DRAW.

    Pac just should have taken the 14 days and out as that was offered in Jan.. Bob and comapny choose Clottely, May chose Shane, and directly after the fight(post interview) stated all his future fights will have Olympic testing.

    So the fact that a couple of weeks/months later Pac now states 14 days is fine means nothing now, Therfore the testing procedure shouldnt be an argument IMO. Bob and company knew the answer to that on March 13 like the rest of the world knew.

    Floyd asking for the bigger share of the portion is well within his rights as he puts up larger pay per view buys.

    It sounds like to me 60-40 could be a bit excessive but that is what haggling is all about.
    I say 60 you say 50 and it goes back and forth till we hit 55-45.

    IMO it is ultimately not Floyd or Pacs fault it is Bob Arums fault.

    Mayweather is the bigger draw. Pacquiao being #1 pound for pound is a matter of cercimstance (Mayweather's retirement0 not something he earned. I question the wisdom of the BWOA.
    60/40 in favor of Mayweather is reasonable.

    I think floyd fans are pushing this issue cause they know in there hearts Floyd those not want the fight and will not push through.

    Just some thoughts. 53% in Floyd's faver is perfect IMO. But I do feel that pac is really trying to make the fight happen. He's giving in and looks more flexible of the two. I just don't feel Floyd is putting the same effort.

    :deal

    But not with the *****s. First, it was the blood test. People are screaming to their lungs that pac should stop ducking and should submit to the testing then the "fight happens", simple as that.
    Now the blood testing issue was resolve, the mtf gives yet another roadblock, and now the very same people are still putting the blame on pac for not wanting the fight where at this point in time its very obvious that between the two pac is the one who's giving in just for making the fight.

    i wonder what's the next bs from floyd?

    imo i dont agree with some of these points at all...

    At what point does one suffer to continue to take 40% of the purse? Permanently? Just because he took a 60/40 deal a year or so ago, does that mean he should take it now? You think fights inbetween that time would give him more legitimacy? Obviously his promoter think he deserves a 50/50 deal at this point. What if EVERYONE felt they deserved a 60/40 deal? We wouldnt ever have a fight made lol. So just because a fighter feels he deserves a 60/40 deal doesnt mean that he should get it lol. Oh yeah, that's Mayweather devotee's way of thinking. Actually, im very sure that his promoter dropped down a 70/30 deal at first to concede down to a 60/40 one lol...

    ummm, just because someone accuses another person of bull**** doesnt neccessitate on him having to prove his innocence. Only a person who is insecure will be compelled to feel that way. Obviously, Pacquiao is not, AND he's never failed any sanctioned **** tests, so exactly what does he need to prove?
