And that is the only issue the network?

And the other details are agreed?

What do you think they are?

Other than Arums words, how do we know a contract has even been issued D4?

Not being funny but if this Floyd stating this, you wouldn't be shouting about Manny etc.

Arum should have kept his gob shut and let the situation take it's course IF the fight then isn't signed, wait until your fighters signed to face someone else and then come out with the full details.

He's pulling the wool over the fans eyes again and antagonizing Floyd doesn't help matters.

I'm asking you what you think the contract should be

Yeah except at the bottom you state it's Mayweather holding up negotiations whilst Arum is doing a good enough job of it too.

As for the contract should be a 40/40 split with the winner taking the remaining 20 percent
Venue doesn't really matter it would sell out in Antarctica.
Testing should be done to olympic standards right up until the day of the fight (Should be the same for all bouts)
It has to be on both networks to satisfy both, It shouldn't make that much of a difference other than each station bigging their fighter up.

The rest is niff naff and trivia really and if Manny really wants it i'd put the ball firmly in May's court by letting him pick them bits.

The split..... Minimal 60/40 floyd
The Venue highest bidder no doubt Vegas most of both there fights have been there
The Gloves 8oz
The Date 5/2
The Ring Size normal for WW
The Billing MAYWEATHER pacquiao
The Testing usada
The Network joint (exact same as Lewis tyson)

It's a shame not more of the fans on here have put their promoters hats on for this topic. Think it's a cracking one D4.

The terms for the rematch will be holding it up. If either wins the first fight he would want considerably more for the rematch than the loser. If this fight happens it will happen twice.

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/02/02/15/nathanielsz-reveals-what-floyd-told-pacquiao

The split: 60/40 for the winner
The Venue: MGM Grand
The Gloves: 8oz, Commission approved Gloves
The Date May 2nd. But needs to be signed soon or this date needs to change.
The Ring Size: 18 ft
The Billing: Mayweather vs Pacquiao
The Testing: VADA testing
The Network: Showtime and HBO even split.

Mayweather ducking again as per usual.

Good topic

Split 60/40 to the winner but first refusal on a rematch to the loser.
Madison Sq garden I would say - bought time it had a big fight. They could even go on the road though, like Ali v Foreman or something like that anyway.
8 oz - anything other than that would be ridiculous.
Don't care but it needs to be early this year for an end of season rematch.
Mayweather v Pacquiao
WADA tests or the US version if the fight is held there.
For me the PPV rights are insignificant, this could well be the best boxing event on PPV since Tyson v Lewis.

Who knows where the hangup is.. but May 2 is all but undoable now - I say push it to July 4th

Pacquiao has demanded that there should be a $5 Million penalty for any fighter that has a positive PED test.

Is this is what Floyd is stalling on?

Why is Floyd trying to duck out of this fine?

USADA will probably cover up positive tests from Floyd as they have done so in the past.
