Say it ain't so - PBF wants 60-40

[THE THIRD MAN]

Pac won't fight for 60/40 that is for certain, nor should he. It's 50/50 and a 14 day cut off or no fight will occur. I still think PBF is trying everything he can to avoid this fight.

You mean the way it was offered months ago and he refused, right?

I think you got it reversed

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 this

LOL Majesty you are un-fucking-real. I almost can't believe you're making the case that Pacquiao should just accept 60-40 no questions asked. WTF? Neither of these can fight without someone putting the other's name in the sentence, it's OBVIOUS that this fight is 50-50. That's why Floyd accepted it the first time.

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.

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.

What a stupid issue to haggle over!! That's one thing that ROYALLY pisses me off about boxing, and about Mayweather in particular (although by no means is he the first, or the last, to use percentages as an ego trip). What the fukk is the difference whether it's 60-40 or 50-50?? Is Floyd going to go bankrupt because he settles for 50% of the purse? And please... 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.

- the dif between 60% and 50% in this fight could equal 5 million or more...thats dollars. i dont care how much money you got, that kinda cash is worth haggling for.

- 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.

No other fight for floyd is going to generate the money that pac will. I can see why his ego is getting in the way but if he was happy to offer 14 day cut off and 50:50 before he should be able to live with that now.

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.

You know what is stupid about all this... Pac has come off a million times worse than Floyd..
We all know Floyd makes demands, wants more money, refuses fights unless they follow his strict terms..

But before all this, Pac was thought of as one of the old time warriors who will fight anyone... Give him a big enough challenge, and he'd probably take it for free if it came to that, just to show he could beat that f'cker... In post fight interviews it was always the line "I'll fight anyone.. My promoter works that out who, but put anyone in front of me and i'll fight them.."
And that attitude wins people over... Especially when you contrast it with some of the antics that go on with other boxers... Not coincidently, Mayweather..

But after all this, Pac now looks like a little bitch... he's lost respect from all those people he's won it over from for being a boxing warrior... His whole image has changed and now there are a lot of people who have good reason to believe he accomplished at least part of his legacy with drugs... Even though that may not even be true, that's the reality of how all this was handled..

It's a real fucken shame...... So fuck all this waste of time business.. it's bad for boxing and bad for the fighters... Pac would at this point, be better off coming out saying "I will never fight PBF",,, then go on and continue his legacy and prove he's not scared of anyone and it was just Floyd's drama that prevented that fight.... There are fights out there for Pac that will prove again his warrior status.. Even if it's moving up to fight a 154 pounder.....

Floyd is who he is, unfortunately, the second Pac entered into dealings with him, his name has turned to shit...... You could even blame Floyd for that... But it's happened, everyone in Pac's camp let it happen..

And it's just a big load of shit for boxing.... I'd honestly be equally as happy to hear right now, that this fight will never happen... That beats the shit out of this nonsense which two grown adults are carrying on with..

Scared tactics

[Dizaster]

Boxing fans need to turn this around...

We need to start a Petition website that says if this fight aint finalized by June 30th, we are not going to pay for it.... If at least a couple 100,000 signatures started mounting up on that, the f'ckers might start realising that we fans are smarter than we look, and won't stand for this type of shit..

Not that 99% of people who care about boxing would even come across the petition... But there needs to be a way the public can make a statement..

I mean, it's not just any old fight that we're demanding, and doesn't make sense... It's THE fight and EVERYONE knows it... Yet these 2 jackass's with all the power and dragging it on in a fashion that makes me embarrassed for them....
