Mayweather wants more money

Big surprise. And so much for Arum's sanctimonious "we won't negotiate in the media". Pacdiva's people went straight to the media.

I don't think this fight will happen, and I couldn't care less.

You consider Boxingscene media?

They're a bunch of hacks.

Well, they seem to have direct quotes. I can see how someone is disgusted enough to dismiss this fight, however I'd like to see it. I'm very frustrated with the behavior of team Mayweather. I don't think his greatest supporters can back him up on this one. He's pricing himself out. Also, please keep in mind that this is the biggest fight in boxing. If it doesn't happen, it hurts the sport. I've never seen anything quite like this in all my years as a boxing observer.

bitch move by Flod

Pac and Arum brought this on themselves. Fighting Clottey was a stupid move from a business stand point, but Arum is so greedy all he cares about is matching Pacdiva with Top Rank fighters so he doesn't have to split the profits with another promoter. 700k just looks bad compared to 1.4 ....

or the 2 million plus a Mayweather fight would do.

I agree it's a typical punk move from Mayweather, but it's also Pac's fault. When you get someone as difficult as Mayweather to agree to a 50-50 split, and then walk away and instead make a fight with a guy who is not a draw, that's a gamble. In this case, Pacdiva's gamble failed.

At least Mayweather found a compelling opponent and the buy rate reflected that.

Its also on Floyd

Pac agrees to what was supposedly the reason for the fight falling apart, but now its something else

Cant blame Pac and Arum for Floyd and his lover changing their minds whenever they feel like it

this isnt a surprise if you walk away from a 50-50 split and then do half the numbers Floyd did dont expect the same 50-50 split

Manny and Bobs own fault

theres a big differnce in how the mosley fight was looked at by the public over the clottey fight..theres a big differnce in having 24-7 for a month and no 24-7..big differnce in having several weeks to promote a fight over a few..a big difference in mosleys notarity over clotteys.forget about this fight its not going to happen..give floyd a 52-48 edge in money guys but thats it..move foward.the hell with this fight.no ones interested in making it from floyds side and some on mannys side already blew what arum wanted..keep it out of the media..thus also hurting the possibilty of this fight..in the past there have been fights involving 2 greater fighters than theses two and the fight was made..this nonsence will now have one less ppv buyer of this fight if it ever happens in me...

I think Arum is trying to get a response out of Flod/Ellerbe/Schaefer

All of them have been pretty quiet since he's been the one forcing the issue lately

sorry Floyds constantly outsold Pac like it or not

Mayweathers the bigger draw and its not a shock he is a loud abrasive american compared to a quiet phillipino guy who likes to sing 80s karaoke

Both are proven draws, those #s shouldnt matter when the biggest purse in boxing history is on the line

50-50 should be it, no questions asked

it was gomez

and someone walked away

and got outsold

And then as soon as this is resolved it will be something else. Yawn

@ bird: well its on again and who's reluctant now

If all this is true this looks like to me Floyd is trying to bitch out of the fight.

i honestly dont care i dont think this fight ever happens cause Arum is a fucking toad but whatever all Im saying is if someone deserves the larger percentage its clearly mayweather

says the guy who cant admit Floyd was the welter champ

First it was the blood testing being 14 days out and now it's the split? Should be 14 days out with a 50/50 cut, period!

I never said that. I said you were trying to brag that Baldi was a good win.

I just don't give a shit about the split. I just want to see the fight. Manny give in to Floyd's bitch ass demands and fight him please.

no i was saying he was the undisputed man at welter
