That's like the UK making economic and political demands on China when they are in no position to.

Marquez Wanted 50-50 Split, Blood Tests For Pacquiao - Boxing News
Same time most people said they wanted OST for a fight with Pacquiao.
GBP said any fighter they promote would demand that against Pacquiao, some how Arum refuses to do any work with GBP now
Top Rank and the people surrounding Manny are a joke, a complete joke.
Quite a few people on this site said Pacquiao was scared of JMM and didn't want a 2nd fight till years later or a 3rd fight. 2nd fight offered for early '05, it was turned down to fight 2 bums and Chris John for 30k after their 1st fight. 3rd fight offered this year and also turned down. JMM should know who has the bigger leverage in negotiations and who is the bigger draw, it ain't JMM. Great fighter, but he doesn't have the clout to demand 50/50 money split and OSDT.

Let's take Mayweather, he got paid something like 8 million for fighting Baldomir the lineal champ at 147 while Baldomir got paid around 1 million. Mayweather also dictated ring and glove size.You know why that is? Because Mayweather is the bigger draw and star, not Baldomir.

BTW other fighters that didn't care about those rumors of A-side meth and would have fought Pac were Bradley and Mosley, although at the time Mosley was about to fight Berto before the earthquake in Haiti put an end to that match.
