I was the one to mention that I didn't think either one was scared of the other.

That's what separates true boxing fans from ignorant nuthugg3r fans.

put yourself to pac shoes a 75/25 in favor of JMM is not only a great insult to pac stature whose without the question is the bigger crowd drawer between the two; but also a 75/25 split is like JMM taking a BUM fighter who is trying to make a name on himself. >:mad

I'd say both should settle 50/50 for fans satisfaction.

Very good point....
Something like 50/50 and then have some type of clause like winner takes 'X' amount of ticket sale revenue or something like that.

I like Sulaiman's comments:

“My message to them both, is to put aside anything that is not boxing, to think this is one of the great fights that the world wants. And they should sit down and share it!

“I prefer to allow a few days of thinking and trying to mediate for this fight to happen. If that doesn’t happen, then we will have to take a different path. I cannot set deadlines, because I must work and that is what I’m going to do.”

“I still remember the fantastic Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran fight in Canada. Don King and Bob Arum hated each other, but at the end of the day, they said HEY let’s work together and they did!”

“I am very disillusioned, but I haven’t lost faith. In my life, I’ve learned that the impossible doesn’t exist. It only takes a little longer.”

He's confident (Sulaiman) that the WBC Board of Governors would vote for a fifty-fifty purse split.

I'd say both should settle 50/50 for fans satisfaction.

thanks and i agree to both of you cutmemick and pacstraightleft. a 50/50 is by far the most rational and fair share among the two with the winner taking a bonus or something like that. sadly, it appears GBP is very determined not to let the fight happen by making ridiculous offers like that. i don't know what's the offer of top rank but iam also not confident GBP is likely to accept it anyway. but i really feel arum is more flexible between the two and so if we hope to have a positive direction regarding this mega fight i'd say it will be up to oscar realizing what fans really wants and put aside ego for once.

But the two that stand out the most to me and seem the most obvious are First of all. The Pacman nows he is completly out classed and out gunned in fighting JMM and second of all that old Crack pot Aurum and his legal issues between Golden boy and him for Pacs promotional rights :o

completely out classed and out gunned ???































:sadclick: biotchhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!


























for an idiotic comment ;D

It seems to me JMM just want a good retirement money.

I like jmm but his belt don't mean crap against pacman, his(or his camp is) in no position to be asking more then pacman anybody should know this 8)

75/25 in favor of JMM man that was sick. RJJ just asked for 60/40 for B-Hop rematch back then. How come it's 75/25 I know why I am going to watch this fight, to see how much Pac has improved since their last meeting. True that JMM poses the biggest threat to Pac and his style but I think Pac was the one who improved more. CC Dudez

Heck yeah.

JMM fought the 1-dimesional Pac back in 04. Pac is now a Pacmonster, he's the Pacmanian Devil ;D

Pac handlers turned down the rematch coz JMM's handlers are greedy SOBs.

They can't agree on the purse.

Same reason JMM gave to Pac when he turned down the rematch before he fought Chris John.

The situation has also something to do with Top Rank - GBP feud (which is Pac's fault).

Sometimes I think of boxing as 90% money talk (business), 10% sports. And that's really sad for the fans.

as much I hate to admit it yeah in most cases its true Boxing aint what it use to be

what you all yappin about? where would boxing be without all the SAM MIGUEL and GOLDIE LOCKS endoresements ;D

none of this matters because barrera and JMM are fighting again in sept...
