It should be 50:50 and Pac should take the tests. Both Floyd and Manny are the biggest twats in boxing today. Be men and split it or do what CFH suggested and go 40:40 with the better man taking the rest.
Like Daxx, I am actually bored with this shit too. Let Manny go and become a sleazy politician and Floyd a bankrupt bore with a potty mouth for all I care. The fight would be nice, but there is far more to boxing than these two.
I've read several articles saying that pacman will even go farther than 14 days, just as long as they don't test him on the day of the fight, before the fight. Still will get tested afterwards. But I'm telling you right now. Floyd will not let this fight happen. This should be a 50/50 split. Mark my words...Floyd will find a way out of this. He's already saying, he wants testing done even on the day of the fight...even when the last test done for the Mosley fight was 18 days out. I'm not optimistic here. Pacman has taken the last hurdle down and now Floyd is putting more back up. I'm sure that even if Pacman agreed to everything else,
these are all rumors there is no official statements coming from Mayweather, so don't get why anyone is getting worked up over thisQuote:

But nope, JUST FIGHT HIM Majesty says. Fuck I understand the gripes over his refusal of testing, but you act as if he's lucky to even be offered 60-40 in the first place. I can't believe I still read your posts but at the same time I'm glad I do.
I think they should both fight and I hope they do but I wouldn't want to see Pacquiao get only 40% if Mayweather insists on that then it's not happening.

I'm not ignorant though who knows what pacs natural weight is he could have been killing himself to boil down when he first started out. Will never know.
For me it's all about Floyds ego but i do believe the fight will happen fans all round the world are crying out for it. Genuine no1 and no2 P4P fighters facing each other. Alot of us might never see that again.
I pick Floyd to win Pac is better offensively but Floyd is a defensive master and he can attack when it suits him. Pac does sometime have a tendancy to charge in and Floyd can pick him off. I think it'll be a very tactical fight rather than an all out war but it'll be a huge even no doubt aout it. Could see Floyd caught and even go down but i think he'll regroup and manage to keep pac off him to take the win.
There's too much money to be made for each fighter regardless of the split for the fight not to happen.
I hope it's sorted soon so i can book my flight! :)
I wanna fight on the oval!
Nup! I wanna fight at the shops!
I wanna fight at lunch!
Nup! I wanna fight at recess!
Floyd does desserve more he is a bigger ppv star if not draw.
Considering Pacqauio has fought DLH, Cotto, Hatton and Clottey in succession i do not see him avoiding anyone. I see PBF taking a long lay off, fighting a 38 year old inactive champion and doing his best to have the negotiations go all his own way. It takes two to tango. Just make the fight and settle the ego issue in the ring.Quote:

NONE of us here know what it's like to earn millions upon millions of dollars. So spare me your silly arguments about how Floyd really NEEDS the money. He doesn't. Listen, if the jackass wants to fight Pacquiao and settle the p4p issue once and for all... IN THE RING, the way it should be... then take the 50% and shut the fukk up.
Ok, Floyd fans... let the counter-arguments begin.
:rolleyes:

- your last sentence could easily be applied to pacman. Just replace the "then take the 50% and shut the fukk up" to "just take the 40% and shut the fukk up" or replace with "just take the blood test and shut the fukk up"
i mean honestly 5 months ago didnt manny turn down 14 day cutt off for testing and 50:50 split? now he wants the 14 days and 50 50. if true, this is getting annoying.
Funny thing is guys let either there desire to see the fight or the hatred for Floyd to help them ignore logic. Mayweather clearly has the bigger numbers throughout hiss PPV career both before and after fighting Oscar and is the biggest draw in the sport . Pac is a loved fighter much more loved than Floyd, but Numbers make the difference although it makes no difference to me or any of you guys their is nothing wrong with asking for what you are deserving of.

It's childish to take that offer from pac just because it wasn't accepted straight away i believe pac may have felt a little pressured to accept the terms before he had a proper chance to think about it. He has now said he will do the fight under those terms and to the casual fan if Floyd wont make the fight 50:50 he will appear to be ducking the match.
The way i see it Floyd can accept 50:50 of a very very big pot or take a massive share of no where near as much fighting someone else. I think it has got to the point that the only person people want to see Floyd in with is pac. No one else will cut it no matter how well it's promoted.
Floyd has to let the match happen or stop going on about how great he is, especially as he has claimed to be better than ali and SRR it's about time he showed us.
i don't know why this is even being discussed, it's already been brought up by Arum himself that the whole Mayweather asking for 60-40 was bullshit, it was a couple of guys from Manny's camp who don't know jack shit
