    Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy here? Pac literally said 50/50 and we have a fight. And don't even bring Bob Arum into this, all Floyd had to do was call Pac's "bluff" and we're one step closer to it getting made. BUT HE DIDN'T. Yet *****-***s still cling to the notion that Floyd wanted to fight Pac all along. What happened to Floyd's dickswinging tweets and facebook taunts? I mean really? Essentially, Manny said yes let's fight to which Floyd promptly puts another roadblock...a pretty laughable one at that. Who passes up a 50-60mil payday to fight Cotto? Was he egotistical enough to not concede Pac as an equal A-side? Dunno man, I refuse to believe someone is that stupid...hmm, unless he had a different agenda all along.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the Cotto fight. I feel Cotto has an outside chance against Floyd (if anything, this fight won't be nearly as physically taxing on him as his fights against Margo/Pac). But in light of this whole "PAC is ducking" claims by ***** nation...it is very disappointing. It doesn't leave a very good impression on Floyd (even though I know you *****-***s got selective memory). As a Pac fan I'm disappointed too, I used to believe that Floyd was too much of a money-hungry ***** to pass up a Pacquiao fight. However, given these circumstances how can any reasonable person not assume that he just priced himself out? How can anyone say with a straight face that he had every intention of fighting Manny at May 5th?

    Arum has said on many occasions the fight could not happen in May as it was too soon but would want Mayweather to negotiate for a fight in November which will allow both of them to have interim fights. May 5th was a no no for Arum, dont know why and mayweather couldnt do end of may or June 9th. All the talk about a new stadium was lie by Arum and a built in excuse.

    They still had issues with the date till Arum broke down and eventually said it can't happen and they should negotiate for November.

    So up until last week, Cotto was still negotiating with Pac and now you're saying Pac had every intention to fight Mayweather?

    The **** goes both ways, you just have selective vision. :nut

    Pac went back on his word-he said he'd take the lesser share and then the ***** ran-

    PAC WILL NEVER GET THE FIGHT NOW THOUGH-HE FUKED IT ALL UP FOR US-SAID HE'D TAKE LESS AND HE DIDN'T.

    I CAN PROVIDE A SOURCE IF NEEDED.

    Why does Arum's words hold more weight than Pacquiao's? The dude said on TV in front of his whole nation and to the world ....50/50 and it's a go. Who cares what Arum says after that. Arum works for Pacquiao. Pacquiao said all Floyd had to do was accept and thus the inference of May 5th being ok. Simple really. Accept and the fight gets made.

    your not getting it..

    Team Pacquiao all fuked up in there business relations-they say they'll take something but then they go back on what they said and they don't take it-

    Pac said he'd take 50/50 and Arum said hell no..Pac should explain to his promoter and to the fans, WHY he said that.

    So do you know WHY he said that if he really wasn't?:think
