Why did Pac say he would take less than 50/50, then demand 50/50 to Floyd??

    Now you resorted on that "there was nothing factual" **** :rofl
    Team Floyd didn't refute that fact which means Team Mayweather said it. If this fight generates $300 million and that's a conservative estimate and if PAC gets $40 million straight up then it'd only be 14/86 in favor of Floyd. If you're PAC would you agree such sharing? :hi::hi::hi:

    That doesnt matter, because Pac said "i'd take less than 50/50", then changed it and said "50/50 or no fight". Then his promoter said even a 50/50 deal would not make the fight.

    Explain that.

    It can't be explained.. Which is why each response is always but but but Floyd isn't being fair!

    Oh lord *****s are bunch of idiots. Just because PAC said it doesn't mean he has to do it. Floyd low-balled PAC by offering $40 million without PPV share. Who is he kidding? If you were PAC you'd get back at Floyd and tell him "50-50 or you can go **** yourself up". Besides, how many times did Floyd said something he failed to do. I'll give you two examples. 1) I'll fight the winner of Williams/Martinez 2) Pac you're next..... After that? "Don't put words into my mouth. I only said it cause that's what MY fans wanted to hear" :hi:

    cause Manny was full of **** and knew he wasn't going to take this fight anyways, he just said that to try and save some face in the media where he's been getting raped for ducking for the last 3 months.

    If Floyd countered 50/50 with a legit offer. 40 $ with no ppv just killed it.

    I mean Pac's offer isn't low balling Floyd in any way. It was right on the middle.

    Doesnt matter who said what as far as money goes we aint getting **** from them.

    From a casual fans perspective, its a 50/50 fight. Maybe from the 500 hardcore boxing fans that exists on earth, it maybe more complicated but for the thousands or even millions of sports fans, it has to be 50/50.

    Floyd: "Step up punk let's give the fans what they wanted. $40 million and zero share in PPV. Stop ducking" :hi:

    Oh ok, so when Pac says things and doesnt follow through it's fine, but when Floyd does it it's because he's ducking.

    Gotcha!:good

    One last thing and please answer this. Does Floyd offering PAC $40 million straight up with no share in PPV and all other revenues constitutes DUCKING on his part or no? And why? I'm waiting. :hi::hi::hi:

    Pac didn't make an offer taking a lesser share, so how the hell can you say what it was? That's the whole point. Pac said he'd take less, Floyd made an offer with less, if they really wanted to fight wouldn't they at least attempt to make a counter offer? Don't you start low, then work towards the middle? Not say 50/50 or no fight after you said you'll take less. And he STILL to this date has not said one reason he changed his mind to 50/50 or no fight.

    I put partial blame on Floyd for the fight not happening with his $40 million offer to Pac, because he shouldn't have given then ANY reason to cling on to. But more is put on Pacquiao for first stating he'd take less, then when offered less saying it's 50/50 or no fight and leaving negotiations. If he stated a legit reason why he changed off his stance the blame could be shifted more towards Floyd, but he hasn't. And he won't. Because they were never going to fight Floyd on May 5th.

    But act like this is the only thing that stopped them from fighting on May 5th. Makes you guys feel better!

    No, it doesnt constitute ducking, because Pac said he would take less, and got offered less. You simply cant get around that fact.

    Now, Pac could have countered with "No, I want $48 million with $5 for every PPV above 750,000 buys" or "No, I want 15% percent of the PPV along with the $40 million". But he didnt. He said he wants 50/50 or no fight, after saying he would take less.
