    So you know for a fact that Pac is doing the extended testing for his next fight even though nobody knows who or where he will be fighting....damn.

    And if he is taking the tests, I guess that will be held against him also...

    I don't think Pac should have received only a flat fee and no PPV, but I also don't believe Pac should get 50/50. That actually IS a situation that needs to be negotiated, unlike a random drug testing cutoff. But they said 50/50 or no fight, or a ridiculous 60/40 to the winner, like judges can be trusted. :lol:

    How was he making it tough? By insuring he gets a fair cut and not giving his opponent half the sales when he's not making as much as Mayweather? They didn't even try to negotiate the purses.. Pac said I'll take a lesser share to make the fight, then turned around and said 50/50 or no fight.

    Mayweather didn't want the fight because he didn't want to overpay Pac? :lol: A true Pac fan.. You say maybe Pac didn't deserve 50/50 at that point, yet you just want Mayweather to accept less than he deserves because he'd make more than he ever did.. Well so would Pac with the 40 million offered! It doesn't work that way!

    They should have negotiated the split last negotiations.. Pac said he'd take lesser, Floyd offered him a flat fee. Pac then said 50/50 or no fight, and the fight didn't happen.

    Who said it was upsetting? I'm just calling you out on the BS you sprout. And lets say that Pac Did institute the type of testing Floyd wanted for his next fight, why does that bother you?

    Mayweather made that financial offer that was a joke and negotiations fell apart after that. Mayweather was a bigger draw years ago when it was agreed upon 50/50 yet years later with even more money to be made he all of a sudden brings up that he is a bigger draw? The offer Floyd made was a slap in the face to Pac. In no way did Floyd deserve to make that much more then Pac. A fighter like Ortiz and Mosely have to take the offer they get because they are not a big draw. Pac was making big money without Mayweather and the fight was going to be the biggest fight in history simply because of the 2 participants in it. If not 50/50 I couldn't see a purse split much bigger then 55/45. Yet Mayweather had different ideas.

    Again, he eventually agreed to it with Mayweather also. I would also like to know how you know Pac will be taking the tests. Also, who is he fighting and where will it be taking place?

    Pac first said he'd take less than 50/50 to make the fight.
    Floyd tried to take advantage of that and said 40 million flat fee.
    Pac then said 50/50 or we're not fighting.

    Floyd wasn't proven to be much of a bigger draw if I recall, but he was.. Which was a big reason people thought he wouldn't agree to 50/50, but he did. Years went by and Floyd continued to make more per fight and have larger gate money, so naturally he felt he deserved more.

    How do you know how much money the fight would make? You don't, everyone saying Floyd would make tons more is guessing with no basis. Which is why I agree, a flat fee shouldn't be agreed upon by either party.

    Pac and his team didn't even try to negotiate a split though.. They simply said 50/50 or no fight, and you agree Pac made less than Floyd so he deserved less. Yet its Floyd's fault Floyd didn't accept less than he deserved? No.

    You believing he doesn't seem confident in himself doesn't mean anything. He signed the contract, Pac didn't..

    What contract did he sign? There was always, always something popping up in negotiations.
