Pacquiao offers Mayweather 55-45 purse split - Yahoo! Eurosport UK
The fight doesn't appeal to me as much as it did last year, but would happily watch it if it were finally made
this just comes to me as if Pacquiao is once again looking past Marquez, and as always I hope Marquez beats the living shit out of Manny again
I wonder how much appeal PBF - Pac would have with Pac having two losses and a very dispute victory in his last 3 fights.Quote:

Whatever the case maybe, this fight has lost a lot of appeal. The last 3 years of BS has ruined this fight and any chance of me buying it.
exactly, it's already to be expected that Marquez will get fucked over yet againQuote:

Yep, Pacquiao better not be looking past Marquez.Quote:

It almost sounds like seeing the sun setting and clamoring.
He really just needs to say I want no part of Floyd and retire after JMM. This shit is getting really old. Floyd should fight Bradley and call it a career also.
Mayweather is a chicken. Pac has now agreed to everything and if Mayweather pussies out then that will be the engraving on his headstone. He has ducked many fighters, but the ducking of Manny is hilarious. What's the latest one? I have lost my mojo? And that was after deciding to comeback and fight regularly. The man is a crook and a fraud.
Just read that ariza said Pac didnt mean he would let floyd have the bigger share. He ment that the winner will take 55% and the loser 45%. Seems to me Pacs team dont want him to fight mayweather
I dont know, that sounds reasonable ,good reason for both of them to want the win more.Quote:

To be honest Pac lost his last fight and drew 700k in ppv draws, Mayweather beat Cotto at 154 and drew 1.5m ppv views, Pac is in no position to be dictating terms.
If pac is over looking Marquez and thinking about Mayweather he is very stupid having 3 close fights all ready with Marquez he shouldnt be thinking about Mayweather. I know he gets asked about Mayweather but he should be saying i'm focused on beating Marquez then i will think about Floyd.
Ego and pride would say Floyd will not accept such an offer.
Why do you think Manny is offering 55-45 to Floyd? He knows that his stock has been damaged. Floyd won't (and shouldn't) take the fight unless he gets a 60-40 share.
Face it, Floyd is holding all the cards now.
Well, they've already pushed Marquez up a further 3lbs to the full Welterweight limit - Same old Team Pacquiao, looking for every advantage. I hope Marquez comes in even stronger and shafts their whole team all the way up to that old fool, Uncle Bob.Quote:

Mayweather V Pacquaio now leaves me cold, it should've been made in 2010 and we could be looking at the 3rd fight instead of the farce that it has become now. Pacquaio is damaged goods, it's all downhill from here and he knows it, they are getting desperate in the Pacman camp. He has looked awful in his past two fights with all the signs showing of a fighter well and truly in decline. In 2010 this would be a difficult fight for Mayweather, by 2013 it would be a training drill for the pretty boy.
Yep and that's what Floyd wants. A sparring partner. Floyd like usual doesn't want to fight prime fighters. Floyd retires takes years off, pics easy cautious fights to stay fresh. Floyd is a cautious bitch.Quote:

Quite funny.Quote:

2010 Manny was to blame for not taking tests...2012 Floyd was to blame for the money. 2013, they're both to blame. Pac for his poor performances and ppv sales..Floyd for not conceeding any money (which at this point he now has every right not to).
Kiss this fight goodbye and if we get it, don't expect it to be as fun as it would have been in 2010.
Latest is Manny will take the 45%, which implies is the more desperate or accommodating one which ever way you prefer to look at it.
