    Floyds a ****ng flake. Hes always been an eccentric mofo. I know hes trying to stay quiet for a reason, he wants an over the top announcement of his return while the world waits. Problem is Pacquiao may take another fight and may get KOed.

    Yes because that doesn't make any sense at all.

    Floyd already said that Martinez doesn't make money and we all know that's bull****...

    So who else is there that makes money?

    That's right.

    Pac.

    So you can either take a 50/50 fight and make $40 mil or fight some bull**** fight with a nobody and not make anything near that number.

    So if I was Mayweather I would sit around and be called a ***** and a coward by the rest of the world?

    And meanwhile not fight the guy I've been talkin all that **** about?

    That's what I would do?

    And miss out on $40 mil because I'm tryin to field some ***** moves?

    Don't think so.

    Yo genius there's numbers involved in clothing and merchandise. There's numbers involved when accounting for half of asia has its eyes on you. At the end of the day everyone involved is there to make money....money=numbers. See the problem is, knuckleheads like you just see black and white. Terms like total gross, aggregate, trickle-down are lost in your ***** logic...yes numbnuts, numbers do prove how much of a draw you are, and guess who garners the way bigger of these "magical" numbers. Hint---it aint Floyd.

    but wasnt it floyd who took on the #1 ww at the time, the same guy who people were saying he was scared of?...people on here had videos of the floyd-shane confrontation, pointing out the moments where he showed fear...IMO he has paid his dues he fights when he wants to...sergio and williams are not scary, they both have major flaws, they are being built up to be moar then they are because people are hoping one of them can beat floyd...once floyd beats them he wont get credit...doesnt this sound familiar?

    I say 50/50 on guaranteed purse but floyd get the bigger share on PPV.

    Anyone here think this is not a fair deal?

    The fight will make about 3mil ppv because they are fighting, Floyd will not produce anywhere near that kind of money nor pac by themselves.

    The public is demanding for BOTH Floyd and Pac to fight. This isnt a simple case anymore of the public wanting to see 1 person in a fight ie Tyson vs someone, this is a case where they want to see two people fight.

    So NO, its not a case that 1.4mil want to see Floyd fight and 1.15mil want to see Pac fight therefore Floyd deserves more. The public, even those who dont follow boxing, want to see THE FIGHT, which can only happen when both guys are dancing.

    Therefore its 50/50.

    If you wanna get technical, Margo and JMM are about the same draw, both fights were considered a joke and should have been boycotted. Pac-Margo did 150k more.

    Margo was coming off 2 bad fights and had been disgraced, Mosley was coming off a stunning victory and the fight had people asking who are you picking. 1 fight was a lot more saleable.

    I give Floyd credit for taking Mosley, but I was on here way back in the day when Floyd didn't fight Margarito, Cotto, Williams...etc...

    So 1 damn guy outta all those names...

    And he also tried to black ball the hell outta Shane by givin him a 20% cut.

    That's not a good record for givin the fans what they want.

    And we are just that.......fans.

    And the fact is that Floyd is runnin his mouth off about Pac. That alone means he should put his money where his mouth is.
