When I think of Mayweather vs Pacquiao negotiating, I think of two teams sitting at a table coming up with agreeable terms. One party says what the want, the other party says what they want and the meet somewhere close to the middle, or close to what they wanted.
Negotiating isnt talking to Ross over at HBO on behalf of Floyd Mayweather. Never in history has Ross negotiated a fight for FLoyd. Just because Bob said thats what he did, doesnt mean that was the correct way to do it. He also said he never talked to team mayweather or GBP, he was under the impression that Ross was talking to them, you know, being the middle man.
You dont order a pizza by mailing in your order to your neighbors house, then sit and watch a clock. You call in your order and either have it for carry out etc.
I'm not saying Floyd Mayweather didnt recieve any contract that Bob Arum had come up with. That probably did happen, but was it something that was negotiated from the jump? doubt it. Just cause Arum sent him a packet, I guess Floyd is suppose to jump when he say so? Floyd doesnt work like that. Plus the contract had 50/50 in it and he stopped reading at that point.
To be honest, I really dont care to see this fight. Its nothing but a hyped up mismatch anyway. And if i had a direct contact to Floyd, I'd tell him dont fight unless you get 60/40. Thing is i dont have to do that because he's smart enough to know that. Mayweather doesnt call himself money for nothing. Money talks and bull **** walks. I dont know why you guys are in a hurry to feed Manny to Floyd? Styles make fights, Manny chances aint no better then Hattons...
