    It sounds to me like their trying to make an excuse for Pac not to fight Floyd.

    35/65 is ridiculous!!!!

    And is never going to happen.

    The funny thing is you actually believe this. Pac-Hatton had been talked about being made since Pac beat DLH. When the hell could they be in negotiations with Floyd? When from Jan-Now could they have been in negotiations when nobody knew the outcome of Pac-Hatton yet? Think about what your saying.

    Floyd ran to JMM?When? Jmm and PBF has been in negotiations since at least the begining of last month. If Floyd would have signed to fight JMM the day AFTER Pac beat Hatton then you would have a point, this isnt the case though because JMM-PBF was signed before anyone knew the outcome of Pac-Hatton.

    And it will be Floyd's fault? How? 35% for this fight is Bull**** and you know it. 35 ****ing percent? If this doesnt happen then its Arum's fault period.

    If that's the case, Arum won't get MAyweather nor Mosley for that. He has lost his mind on that :patsch 50/50

    WTF is going on at Top Rank? Some of us who follow that storyline over there are having a hard time making sense of the situation. All this talk of Cotto/Pacquiao doesn't seem in line with where we should be at with Cotto wanting to leave the organization, and Arum crudely trying to put Clottey in position before Cotto can get away. If Arum has successfully convinced Cotto to stay with promises of a Pacquiao "megafight," then what has he told Joshua Clottey? "Hold off, let Cotto edge the decision, and I'll give you a bonus 2 million under the table and some future big fights??" I don't trust this situation any more. Scratch that - I trust it even less. If that's possible.

    Its BS, i think you know this aswell. If they would have said 60/40 to start off with that would have been slightly acceptable but 35%? C'mon man.

    You dont even have to argue who is in the driver seat, which is a stupid comment anyways, but ARUM sure in the fack knows that Floyd isnt going to fight for 35%. That is what you call getting your guy out of a fight..Making an offer that you know isnt going to be accepted. Its like me offering you a job cleaning my house and asking you to do it for $1.00/hour. I offered, but we both know that you arent going to do it... I dont want to hear about Millions of $$$ because Floyd will make Millions no matter who he fights.

    Until this fight DOESN'T happen, that is just your opinion. I guess you feel Floyd is in no position to bargain so this is a final offer, take it or leave it? :patsch And don't think this is all going to fall on Arum. How short our memories are when it comes to why the Hatton/Pac fight almost didn't happen? Arum is throwing Mayweather a life line whether you relalize it or not. Pac WILL NOT fight for the short stack. That ain't gonna happen. Mayweather can now negotiate up from this figure, still accept the short stack, and claim a victory.

    I see Mosley as the toughest fight for Pac out there because he's powerful, fast, and comfortable at 147. Mosley shouldn't have to drop lower than 147, because he's the welterweight champ. Pac needs to step up to him for a chance at a belt.

    I think 40 for PBF/60 for Pac would be more reasonable..
