"If Manny Pacquiao really wanted the fight with me, all he's got to do is say it," Mayweather said. "We could pay Marquez some step-aside money. Pay him a million dollars, that's nothing. Step aside. Then, my man, me and you can make seven figures. Is you ready? Let me know." http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/index.ssf/2009/07/mayweatherpacquiao_needed_for.html another..........

Mayweather said only Bob Arum's greed is stopping the fight with Pacquiao. "He [Arum] wants a 50-50 split and that's never going to happen," Floyd said. "If Bob Arum wasn't trying to be so greedy, that fight would happen. It still is a business even if it is a sport. Marquez called me out and he deserves his shot. If Manny Pacquiao really wanted a fight with me, all he has to do is say it. ----------------------- How ****in ridulous can you be!!! I swear, Floyd would be SO MUCH more popular if he was a ****in deaf mute...atsch
I chewed up Pac's ass for taking the DLH fight, instead of fighting JMM again . . . other than that no pac fans has ever quoted me. On this issue I'm with Pac because It's only his fans bragging not Pac himself.
THIS THREAD IS A HUGE FAILatsch How the hell did Roach answer floyd offer to pay Marquez step aside money. By saying everyone wants to see Mayweather V Pac is nothing new.:rofl What we fight fans wanted to hear is for Roach to say we are prepared to scrap the Cotto fight if that what he really wants and we can do this now. :bbb
What's so hard to understand? Floyd is saying Arum being greedy because Arum wants 50/50 purse split for a fight which floyd believes is not fare. Considering Mayweather is underfeated, and Pac is not. 3 losses and 2 draws and considering mayweather is a former p4p champion and Pac only got that title because mayweather retired. Considering Mayweather made more money against the same two high profile opponents than Pac did. And finally considering that according to Floyd Bob Arum still owes him millions then i guess according to Floyd 50/50 sounds unfair.
It's got nothing to do with how someone performs against common opponents.atsch However in negotiations like this it has all to do with how much you made with those common opponents if you are arguing that you deserve the bigger split. For example Hatton beat Castillo way more easily than what mayweather did. However this couldn't be used as away for him to get a better purse. Only that it could generate interest for the fight. Also Mayweather has the biggest claim to a bigger purse split. He is UNDERFEATED and has been fighting at the highest of level for 10 years. That alone should warrent a bigger purse split forget about who made more money in there last two fights, which Mayweather has by the way:bbb
