    I disagree. This was about egos. By the time Floyd was able to compromise to 14 days, Manny was already pissed too much to care. Plus we can't assume that Manny feels the same way about the payday as Floyd does. Living in the Phillipines, he has enought money for 100 lifetimes. There's not much in the Phillipines that you can do with 40 million that you can't do with 10 million. Plus he has many other sources of revenue. Floyd let his ego get this best of him and by the time he was ready to compromise he had already gone too far. This is the first time in a long time that he had been in negotiations with someone that has as much, if not more star power than him. And make no mistake, Floyd needs the payday. Between the I.R.S., gambling, and stripper money, he needs it. Manny doesn't. Not to say he doesn't want it, but he doesn't need it.

    So he tarnished his legacy and name forever, and gave up 40-60million because he was angry at Floyd....... Righto whatever u think.

    First time in a longtime he has negotiations with a fighter who has as much or more star power than him....? Ahem 2 of his last 3 fights have been against ODLH and Ricky Hatton, possibly the 2 biggest draws in world boxing especially Oscar at the time.

    Since when are you an expert on Floyds money?
