    And they want 50-50 split. Will this fight ever happen?

    Pac already said he's cool with 14 so Arum is just trying to play hardball again before they eventually accept 14

    There's a good chance it won't. Pacquiao has no reason not to except real blood testing since all of his excuses were already proven to be false. It clear that either Pacquiao doesn't want Mayweather or he is on illegal substances. Olympic style testing is best for the sport and it's not harmful to the athletes in any way.

    Nope. Pac never agreed to 14, that was refuted by him and Arum. That report that said 14 was b.s.

    The split should be 50/50, they're fighting for the #1 p4p spot

    He said it and then everyone comes out after and says it was BS. Many reputable boxing writers are claiming that he said it.

    Pac is like Sarah Palin; he isn't allowed to speak for himself. He does and gets himself in trouble

    Right! The fight is gonna happen guys. It's all posturing now. The event is now even BIGGER than it was before which means there is more money on the table for both guys. The only way this fight doesn't come off is if either man really doesn't want the fight.

    50/50 split.....14 day cut off....that is fine. a 24 day cut off is fine for that matter. But who cares...just make the fight and the boxing world will be ecstatic.

    Agree.

    Can all of us agree that 50/50 split, 14 day cutoff, 8 oz gloves of their choice, Vegas or Texas, whatever, and the winner is the best of this era? No excuses and no BS about legacy. THIS FIGHT DETERMINES LEGACY.

    Can't be anymore compelling for both men to want to make this fight happen. It covers EVERY ASPECT that is important for both men. Legacy, bragging rights and of course MONEY!

    I'm not concerned about this fight not happening and I kind of get the feeling Floyd had this in mind all along......:smoke Greedy mother ****er! He's smart and knows how to make a dollar out of .15 cents.

    $40 Million gurantee just went up to a $50 million gurantee within a matter of months! If Floyd planned this out to delay the fight to build up the promotion he's a marketing genius.

    Too bad it's not any of us that are going to be doing the negotiating. PBF already stated in the past that in round 2 of negotiations they can kiss an even split down the middle goodbye, and he actually has a legit case with the predicted sales for his last fight.

    No, Texas doesn't deserve the most important fight of our era for how much they ****ed up boxing in the past. Whitaker vs Chavez anyone?

    The fight can happen in your backyard as long as there is an HBO crew there and a ring, I'll be tuning in.

    That's what I meant. It'll be Vegas though, you're right, Texas won't get it.

    I've seen documentaries where one week on the shite, users have dramatically altered their strength and endurance levels at an astonsihing rate. Sometimes doubling and tripling it, and even more.
