    almost 94% of the voters thinks that floyd should accept the 50/50 split.

    why is it hard for floyd to take a 50/50 split when he already agreed to it back in 2009?

    I think 50/50 share is no bs demand from any fighter. It's a good move from Floyd though to get directly to Pacquiao than negotiating with Arum whom I think the one cherry picking opponents for Pac. Floyd should take the equal share if he really wants the fight.

    It's confirmed Mayweather VS Pacquiao, May 5th.

    Depending on 50/50.

    The only reason Floyd will fight Pacquiao is he will get more than 50% ?

    VOID is VOID.:rofl

    If 50/50 is negotiated to be more favourable to Floyd, the fight will happen.

    If you read the post it said 50/50 be negotiated to be more favourable to Floyd. Meaning: Negotiate so that the split will not be 50/50.

    Floyd should take the 50/50 split since Pacquiao agreed to his drug testing demands.

    Pacquiao's side still wouldn't fight on May 5 even if Floyd agreed to a 50/50 purse split - but - Mayweather is making himself look like he's ducking Pacquiao by insisting on a bigger share of the purse after initially agreeing to a 50/50 split.

    If I were Pacquiao, I'd get out in the media and accuse Floyd of doing his best Daffy and Donald Duck impersonation...

    Maybe Floyd is using the purse situation as leverage to get Pacquiao's side to agree to fight on May 5?

    FMJ should swallow his damn pride and accept the 50% split, and beat Pac just to get it over with, and so the boxing forums can get rid of all the deluded *******s (not the normal Pac fans but the ******s who believe Pac is close to being some boxing-God).

    142-8.

    i guess these 8 people are either in floyd's payroll or in love with him.

    so i guess, this fight won't happen in may since floyd won't budge on the 50/50 split and might have somebody on lined-up before.

    i wonder if the split would still hold-up this fight in november?
