    Didn't Pac Man just get dominated by Bradley in his last fight? If you can't even beat that guy, how can he expect to beat Floyd?

    You just lost all credibility by saying that.

    They are both acting like little cici's.

    Manny: he wants more money than me.
    Cheke64:Winner should take 60/40 end of story dumbasses.
    Floyd: take the damn test I'll fight you
    Manny: I'm scared of needles

    Manny should take the tests and the winner should get the bigger percentage of the PPV buys (70/30). The upfront purse should be spilt down the middle even though Floyd is a slightly bigger draw. Problem is this should have happend two years ago. Now, Floyd can get a ton of money fighting Canelo and even rematching Cotto while Manny's options are JMM 4 and Bradley again (a fight nobody wants to see)

    Sorry bro, but a fight with Manny is still the biggest payday out there. If you watch the video, he said himself hes fine with any drug testing, even on the day of the fight. He even said he would take the smaller split of 55-45. It's straight from his mouth. I don't see any reason why this fight shouldn't happen.

    Wrong on all fronts

    Manny wants a 50/50 fight. Floyd wants 60/40 for him, no matter who wins

    Manny agreed to the olympic blood tests last year.

    Didn't say it wasn't the biggest payday out there (although I'd bet Canelo is a lot closer then you think) but I'm just saying that we've seen this same song and dance for quite some time now. Manny says one thing, Arum speaks his piece and Koncz does as well. Now mix in 50 Cent with all this drama and i won't even waste my time on these two until they sign the contract. I hope it happens but it's barely worth discussing in all honesty considering all the bull**** fight fans had to endure from these two

    I think Pac is to the point where he just want to do this mega-fight to
    get PAID and settle this ... he may or may not win .... but then retire from
    boxing. Pac believes he can win this fight and want to get it done, but also
    realize that this could be his biggest payday before retiring.

    I dont think Pac cares to much about losing this fight as much as Mayweather
    does. Mayweather, I believe could win this fight, but he's afraid that losing
    this fight .... would tarnish his perfect career. Flody probably feels he has
    more at stake for doing this fight or not. He can easily make $60 mil from this
    fight, but he could do that in 2 reg fight where he has 100% chance
    of winning.

    Pac doesn't care or worry too much about winning or losing this fight ...
    He wants to prove to the people he can win and get PAID either way.

    Well I believe this is the first time that we heard it straight from Manny's mouth, in video and in America. Kind of different than reading he said she said crap from "reports". At least this way, there is video proof if Manny backs off his stance.

    And I disagree with Canelo. I dont think it's that close. At least not at this stage. It'll draw 1M buys because of Floyd, but aside from Mexicans who love him, Canelo has not hit the mainstream yet. He just had his first Vegas fight and he still has fought nobody. Canelo needs to fight Cotto or Martinez before he even gets a sniff at Floyd. If he can get a quality win under his belt, then thats where the big money comes in.

    You've got to be kidding on Canelo not hitting the mainstage yet. I don't even like him as a fighter but he's got DLH potential earnings wise. He just did over 1 million views against a guy a weight class lower then him that nobody had ever heard of outside of hardcore fans. Oh, he did it while going against JCC/Martinez. Here's a link:

    Cotto is possible but no chance he fights Martinez before Floyd.

    FLoyd and Arum should have some make up buttsecks and make this fight happen. All of the bs why this fight isn't happening is getting old.

    Floyd is scared he is going to lose. Since he promotes his own fights he gets most of money for fighting guys he knows he can beat. If he goes up against canelo or sergio I will be impressed, but he can probably beat them. Manny is still so fast and can come from so many angles it might be hard for Floyd. I do think floyd will win but it is close to a 50 50 fight. The best P4P guy now andre ward. He has cleaned up everyone in his division. If he were smart he would pull a floyd and put on an act so he can get paid.

    Agree on Andre Ward being #1 p4p. manny has no prayer of beating Floyd and neither does Canelo. I'll be impressed if he fights Martinez at 54 but I doubt that happens unfortunately.

    I'm saying right now, i dont think hes main stream. How many non boxing fans, know Canelo? That's my point. I don't think he's drawing in the people that don't normally watch boxing, like what Floyd and Manny does. Obviously, he does have a future as a big money maker if they keep matching him up right. Once he learns english, watch out. But right at this moment, there's still only two superstars in boxing.

    Tons know him. Same with JCC Jr. People ask me about those two all the time. Who drew those 1 million viewers to Showtime opposite of a huge PPV featuring JCC that TR heavily promoted? Every single viewer tuned in to see Canelo. All of Maidana's fans were watching Sergio. If I mention Martinez and Ward, nobody cares. Canelo is already a star and would command at least 10 million plus a PPV cut no less then 60/40 against Floyd (obviously 60 on Floyds end)
