I think its clear that Manny and his management know his deal will limit his take from this fight so he has been trying to get floyd to give him more than he is worth to offset that. well that wont ever happen, especially after the refusal.
Thats why I think floyd should make an offer that doubles manny's career best with guarantee/ppv %. Thats what floyd got from ODH. If manny won't take that just because he isn't getting more than its time to move on.

Originally posted by Fetta View PostArum speaks for Pac so when i say team PAc i include him. And thats why i said i dont see how it isnt viewed that way already. Pac walked from tests and said so himself. I think he was dirty but in the end the failed negotations was Arum.

Originally posted by thuggery View PostGolden Boy lost a lot of money due to their high stable of cheats/cancelled fights so they had to drop VADA. Now fighters like Broner downright refuse to make a fight whatsoever if VADA is requested by the opponent. When you have guys like Love and Bey Jr still popping up dirty even without Vada you know it's a problem.

Originally posted by Big Dunn View PostYes, I agree. Its just clear that money is a huge motivating factor for manny, especially when its this fight. even when he was warming to testing, it was on the condition of 50/50.
