FAO: Floyd Fans

[-MAKAVELLI-]

...so as more news is being leaked we have some kind of understanding of what went down


1. There was negotiations going on...it was Arum, Greenburg, and Haymon

2. PAC agreed to testing that was acceptable by Floyd's wishes

3. An even 50/50 split was offered


the 50/50, as it turns out is the reason Floyd has decided not to pursue this fight...as of now, its dead


my question to Floyd fans:


are you satisfied with this reason for the fight not happening?



please vote and discuss

Pac didn't agree to OSDT with no cut off date. You can't agree to a deal that is no longer on the table.

so now you know all the granular details of this secretive agreement?


from what we're hearing, Floyd's holdup is the split...not the testing


its a simple question...please answer/vote if you haven't yet

Pac's too god damn nice for his own good.

He should've told Floyd to shove the drug testing straight up his ass.

Arum never talked to Haymon, Ellerbe, Floyd or any member of the Floyd camp.

When asked if it is true that no negotiations have been taking place, Green said "As always, no comment".


So what you're doing here Mak, understandably, is believing everything that comes out of Bob Arum's mouth.

I don't give a **** if Floyd got 60/40 with Manny getting testing in the ring before he was announced. The fight should have been made, PERIOD. **** everyone involved, especially Floyd and Manny for making me wait another ****ing year.

As a boxing fan Im pissed off. I can see his point from a business perspective though he does generate more money than pac. idk if any of you have ever owned a business but if your competition is definitely second to you and you have to do business together then you should get a bigger share. that aside im pissed because i think pac margacheato is horrible and im not sure if he will but may martinez is the only floyd ppv id buy besides may pac. so ultimately **** floyds ego and **** mannys ego. somehow i think arum made the decision for pacquiao and not the other way around. honestly i think if pac beats may he probably retires then arums cashcow is gone.

no Kev, what i'm doing here is going by a report off a radio show that Floyd and his daddy were on recently...the issue wasn't drug testing but the money split


i see that you voted...thanks

Why are people saying "**** Manny"??

He capitulated to unreasonable demands when he didn't even have to.

Floyd is the only one to blame here.

Ellerbee: there was no negotiations

Floyd Sr: it was about the money

Jeff: it was about testing

Floyd: i just fought 60 days ago


what a cluster**** that family is
