Hey boxing fans, just wanted to know amidst all the petty bickering...who jeopardized this fight from ever happening?
In my eyes it's Bob, he doesn't want to lose his cash cow Manny. Now that's not to say Manny isn't great because he is but styles make fights and his style is perfect for Mayweather. Mayweather loves to counter and he more punches you throw the more chance there is of that. Also Mayweather has the natural size advantage.
I put it down to Bob but I'm sure there's more then just him to blame, one example being all these drug tests
The last huge boxing matchup.
All fingers point to Bob Arum.
both of these idiots are to blame
i thought bob didn't have anything to do with the recent negotiations. i read somewhere where he said a 45-45 split can be made with the 10% going to the winner of the fight. meaning if mayweather wins then he gets more than what he actually proposed
That doesn't sound like a bad deal if you're asking me. But honestly, I haven't heard that before until right now. Where did you get this information from?

I would put most the blame on Mayweather. I can Understand not wanting a blood test day of or days before a fight especially I'd you don't like needles. Saying others did it is pointless IMO they all need Mayweather for a payday. Mayweather thinks he should earn more money only because his EGO can't take a split. I have also heard a lot have said Mayweather is also trying to stick it to Bob.
I can't put all the blame on him though, if Manny really wanted the fight he would accept any terms but I also can understand him not wanting to give Maywetaher everything he wants.
I think we will get the fight at some point but it will a really crappy fight as both will way past their prime.
Easy to get more money when you are the promoter. All though I always thought was kinda a conflict of interest.[/B]
I'm hoping that when "Money" is done with his jail sentence, and "Pacman" wins this fight against Bradley. That we'll get this fight. I do understand why Mayweather would want most of the PPV dollars, considering that he has the two largest (non heavy weight) PPV ever. While none of Manny's fights are even in the top 10 for PPV. I will say that 45-45 split with the other 10 going to the winner sound really good.
Plus there's really no one else they can run to, to get away from this fight.
