    Ya blame Arum for forcing Floyd to reject a 50/50 split.

    Dude, everyone knows pac doesn't run the show. Doesn't he always refer to Arum whenever American media asks him who he is going to fight next?

    Hey genius, do you know how a guarantee actually works? He doesn't actually get an additional 40 mil on top of the 30%. A guarantee is exactly that...he's guaranteed 40 mil even if the event bombs and the hypothetical 30% split adds up to less than 40 mil. It's insurance moron.

    If the fight actually happens in november then I won't care about who Floyd and Pacquiao fight in May/June, but then again, when the time comes, Arum will probably want Pacquiao to fight one of his own fighters.

    This statement was made after Floyd's pr stunts. Obviously Pac felt the pressure to be transparent and got on the record. I dunno what else to say to you people...it's like you'll believe only the people you want to believe. Instead of saying, "hey Pac really wants to fight the guy, he said so himself" you'd rather believe that Arum's secretly trying to find a way to undermine him. :patsch....and like I said a trillion times, Floyd could've, at the very least, called him out on it and just took the 50/50. If Pac balked and retracted his words than Floyds tweeter bravado wouldnt ring so hallow the way it is now.

    Dude you're the only one that believes what he wants. In the past, Arum has decided who pac will face. Pac has also been proven to be a liar in the past. Pac even said the fight against Mayweather was close to being done which couldn't have been further from the truth.

    No of this matter as Arum refuse to have the fight on May 5th so what pac says is not important if Arum doesn't want to negotiate.

    I don't see Cotto winning either but i do think JMM can keep on improving like he has every time he fought Pac.
    That said he edged out the 2nd fight and won the 3d won easy, so im guessing he needs to knock Pac out to get a draw this time.

    And thats why it's a ****ed up offer coz there's no way in hell it would bomb. Damn are you that dense?? I mean did you seriously think a guaranteed purse is an additional on top of a split? Let's put it this way, which offer would YOU take? Take for example a conservative number of a 150 million dollar pie...you mean to tell me you're ok with only 40 mil of that? Take off the ***** goggles dip**** or go read an economics book.

    and you are forgetting that floyd has demanded the bigger share. fight would not be made unless floyd stops pulling some roadblocks.
