    Should pacq go from 15 million for his last fight to 40 million for this fight while floyd made 40 million in his last fight and is being asked to only make 40 million again and give pacq a 25 million dollar raise over his last fight?People my money your money or his money it doesn't matter,that doesn't make sense.

    And yes floyd can make another 40 million without pacq like he did on May 1st.Can you say Sergio Martinez.pacq can't make 40 million without floyd.He can't even make 25 million without floyd because he never has!!

    We be having fools on this board. If they were pro boxers they would end up retiring broke as they short changed themselves in rushing to make all the fights happen as soon as possible.

    WTF are you talking about? What two fights fool?

    +200K buys difference is not "close". Why don't you multiply the number by $59 USD and tell me the "close" difference? Then look at the damn gate! 30K more seats and that fool still did a multiple LESS on revenue.

    What would you like to compare? Common opponents? Chronological order of opponents? What? Pac loses each and every time! :deal

    22 million guanteed HBO,a portion of an 11 million dollar gate and a portion of the 78 million dollar ppv.He probably made under 40 million but only by so much.It's also reported that he made more about 30 million fighting Marquez.He's the cash cow who has his own promotions while Manny has teeth all in him.He has to pay Top Rank and GBP.He'll never make what floyd makes even if they went 50/50.He doesn't work for himself.I can't blame him.He is illiterate and so he probably sucks at math too.

    It's all about legacy and pride, my man, despite what floyd trumpets, perhaps applicable during one's struggling years...but when a man is worth fifty plus millions, perhaps more, a few million here or there cannot be the true obstacle.

    Look at it this way...old rich successful business men, they no longer care about a few million here or there, they start thinking about their legacy, their impact on their, initially, immediate community, their extended family, and then the larger community...what others think of them and how history will record their brief existance on earth. They start running for office, they build charities, they give em away and or reinforce their empire and employ more people, produce more.

    In as much as manny's pride would prevent him from playing the punk role to floyd, floyd should understand that in manny lies a great opportunity to salvage and rehabilitate his image, his legacy within the community of objective scribes, historian, present and future corps of sentient fans everywhere...win or loose...

    I am of the view that pbf will decision pac in a frustratingly unsatisfactory manner, perhaps set up for future encounters if cowardice does not hold sway...

    So in essence, floyd should gladly genuflect to the PACMAN and kiss the proverbial ring of his own salvation...

    Didnt he do that the first time around???:huh And didnt Team Pac man walk away from the first deal???

    I'm by no means saying he needs to get the 60/40 split but he does have a case for a 45/55 split.

    Now you have proven yourself a true moron. Do you think the men on Wall Street make bad business deals because, "Hey I am already rich so I will take the crap end of the stick." If you do I understand why you make the ignorant statements that you do.

    Old rich businessmen may not care about spending money, but they DO CARE when doing business. How in the hell do you think they STAY RICH? You obviously barely have a pot to **** in.

    FMJ gave Manny a shot at history. He was scared of needles, scared of a 14 day cut off date, and stupid enough to let Bob Arum walk him into a horrible fight ruining his bargaining position. Manny sees the writing on the wall and that is why he is making noise in the press.

    Then you say "cowardice"... You obviously have never boxed in your life so you don't know crap about boxing let alone know what it is like to counter punch a guy and fight your instinct to get away or descend into the abyss of brawling.

    Manny is kissing the ring and begging for the old deal. Too bad. Things change. Manny will now get less for this butt kicking than he could have.

    I know i cant believe they buy into the fact that Floyd said he made 40 million so they believe him.

    I keep telling them by the time he pays everyone that works for him agents, Cornermen, Security , The Governement Tax on what he earns and also on what he owes from the past.

    Im sure he banked more like $15 million.

    :good, people don't become rich without being greedy, and just because someone is a millionaire doesn't mean they stop trying to make big money.

    If u fail to see the context of the exegesis and parse, without any intellectual sincerity, points out of context then there is no need to argue.
