That's not a negotiation. What if the fight only generates $100M total with PPV's and everything. Mayweather is not thinking of sharing I guess? He should be asking for a percentage, not this ridiculous amount of money! He can start at 90% if he wants to start high to negotiate. But I guess he feels that Pac might accept that deal.
Even Top Rank nuthugger Steve Kim says that this leak from Arum is bull****. It's funny that Koncz said a couple of weeks ago that they were negotiating with Mayweather and the talks were going "well", Arum denied it, and then a week later Arum acknowledges that there have been talks but Floyd's demands are ridiculous. When are you gullible meatheads going to learn to ignore Arum's bull****?
So in your humble opinion it is warranted to take every word out of Arum's mouth as gospel when it comes to Mayweather?
No. But we're talking about Floyd asking for $100 mil. Which has been confirmed on Floyd's side. So in this case Arum's word is true.
