Wow...your so delusional. You *****s all think alike. It's like Floyd's brainwash on his fans really makes them believe his BS! Let me fix it for the truth here...

Floyd and his team thought Manny would say that's too soon but he said let's go that's when Floyd made the test.
Ok, now that it's the truth, I can rest alil better.

******ed. Where do you get your news from? March 13 was Manny's date. Floyd said let's go.
Manny said-50/50, Floyd said-no problem
Manny said- well the gloves, Floyd said-no problem
Manny said-well 10 miil for every PO, Floyd said-no problem
Manny said ummmmmmmm well now I cant do the test cause uhhhhh I'm afraid of needles I mean I need 3 days to recover and uhhhhhhhhh it makes me weak oh and uhhhhhhh my mother doesn't want me to fight no more. LMFAO!!!!!!!
Only a ****** would try to make excuses for Pacroid.

Those numbers are good for boxing.
Like other folks have been saying May and Mosely will atleast double that though

[Tweezy316]

Yeah i can't see how people would expect that too, but i don't think that May vs Mosley does that. I think they do 1.5 to 1.8 realistically and even so Mayweather still would deserve a 60/40 split. One things for sure though is that May has more than enough ammo at the negotiation table now. May vs Pac is looking real bleak and the fans are the ones thats gonna suffer.

If Pacquiao and his team we're as humble as they act on tv then they would take the test and take the split Mayweather gives them. Because Mayweather is obviously the cash cow. When it comes to the split you can't put all your awards on the table and try to make a deal. It's all about the pay-per-views baby. And when it comes to that Mayweather is a couple levels above everybody.

The only reason Floyd is going to double that is because he's fighting Mosley, a well known opponent. Not to mention theres going to be a HBO 24/7 series which Pacquiao didn't get. If Pacquiao vs Clottey was **** I could only imagine what Mayweather vs Clottey would of been, probably a replay of when Floyd fought Baldomir (don't bother you-tubing it, it's not worth it).

You're correct that the reason why Mayweathter is going to outsell PAcquiao-Clottey is because he's fighting a more known opponent, but 24/7 doesn't automatically add like a million sells to your PPV. Calzaghe-Jones anyone?

Daaaaamn why'd you go and do him like that? LMAO!!!!

Mayweather-Marquez did 1 million PPV buys because it was also available in movie theaters!! So each $8 theater ticket was counted as a PPV buy!! Those ticket buyers would have never paid $49.95!!!

[Carpe Diem]

Bob is gonna cry when Pacquiao leaves him. I think more upcoming great fighters are gonna sign with GBP from now on.

Why is everyone crying about who is known and who isn't? Let me say this again. Pacquiao CHOSE Clottey. He HAD Mayweather but CHOSE Clottey. Why did he choose Clottey? It's simple Team Pac along with the *******s thought Mayweather was gonna fight M. Hatton or Paulie. Team Pac choosing to fight clottey the bigger guy they we're looking to get more credit for their fight and Mayweather to be crucified for his fight. It was their way of sticking it to Mayweather for bringing up the random blood test and making Pacquiao look like a cheater cause he turned down a $25 million drug test. Even tho Pac made himself look like a cheater by turning it down. Anyways Mosley became available and everyone was hoping that Mayweather wouldn't sign the contract. They said he was a coward and he would never fight a guy like Shane. And then he signed and everything Team Pac had planned BACKFIRED in a major way. And that's what they get for being so deceitful and shady. They tried to screw Mayweather by quickly shutting off negotiations and signing Clottey right away. Humble my ass!!! They got what was coming to them PERIOD.

You guys are letting your hatred towards mayweather outweigh your common sense. Look at every fighter they both fought, and mayweathers number's are better across the board. Mayweather did better numbers against marquez, his numbers we're better against hatton, his numbers were also better against De La Hoya. Clottey is a well known opponent fighting in one of the biggest states in the country. It's funny how after the fact these pacquaio fans are saying this. After negotiations broke apart with Mayweather, according to Freddie Roach and bob arum, Clottey was the next highest welterweight available. These are smokescreens that they put up to cloud the real issue.

Truth of the the matter is that the next highest availabe ww was Mosley, and team pacquaio wanted know part of him. Mosley even volunteered to come down to super ww and they refused to fight him. Now that Mayweather asked for random blood testing, now all of a sudden Clottey is the next best available opponent. Now you see them in the ring after the fight, and their talking about if Mayweather doesn't want to fight them translation(if mayweather keeps asking for random blood testing) then we'll be more than welcome to fight Mosley. Team pacquaio is getting desperate now.

When we 1st heard of the testing idea mayweather proposed a lot of people felt it was his way of trying to get out of the fight. Now that he has a harder fight with Mosley lined up it disspells those "Mayweather is afraid of Manny rumors." Somebody correct me if im wrong, but i could sworn that Bob Arum tried to make a fight with Yuri Foreman at 154lbs, before they even considered fighting a legitimate WW. The More you hear team Pacquiao talk, the harder it is to defend them.
