    We don't need to know what goes on behind the scenes, all we need is an official announcement. Everything they say in the public is irrelevant.

    So Pacquiao was afraid of Brandon Rios? He's never asked anyone for additional testing.

    I remember you saying you want pac to call mayweather out after the aligeri bout and not before and he did that so whats you're response do you want me to bump it up or do you remember saying you wanted pac to do it?

    pac not only called him flat out he also called him out again in the post fight

    You don't understand :patsch

    Pacquiao publically calling Floyd out is indeed, irrelevant. BUT ***I*** wanted to hear it so ***I*** know where it stands. This is the FIRST time Pacquiao has done that.

    All the trash talking and remarks about one another is irrelevant. What is relevant is what they negotiate for that contract.

    You basically make my point for me.

    There is evidence of Mayweather reaching out to make the fight happen (the unsigned contract from '09, the personal call for 40MIl in 2012, Espinoza stating Top Rank won't respond to a 40MIl plus upside offer, etc.).

    Is there anything out there where Arum states he actually initiated talks with someone in Floyd's camp? Not TV execs or go-betweens, but someone who can actually do the deal? When isht gets real, Arum starts claiming not to know who to call, needing a stadium, unhealed cuts, unfair test organizations, etc.

    It's funny, because I can find more public 'proof' of Arum talking to venues (Cowboy Stadium, Macau casinos, etc.), investors (Dubai, Falcon Hawk, Joe Jackson, etc.) and networks splits (HBO/SHO) than Haymon/Ellerbe/Mayweather about this fight.

    What should Pacquiao's purse split be? Forget about PPV split for a minute. If $40 mil isn't enough, what should his split be?

    mayweather offered him 40 mill and NO PPV MONEY

    SO MAYWEATHER WOULD GET UP TO 200 MILL AND PAC WILL GET 40 MILL PLUS THE TAXES AND PAYING OF OTHERS IT WOULD COME DOWN TO 15-20 WHILE FLOYD WILL HAVE OVER 200 MILL THAT WAS A STUPID OFFER ALEX COME ON DUDE

    Answer my question. What should Pacquiao's purse be?

    The latest offer is $40 mil + 35%. So what should the purse be?
