Is Floyd Mayweather turning down $110 million to fight Manny Pacquiao the biggest duck in the history of boxing?

I used to think he was running neck and neck with Riddick "Title in the trash" Bowe, but the numbers involved here surely make Mayweather's duck the biggest ever.

It would be if all other terms could be agreed but Pacman doesn't want to do the blood testing, basically Mayweather Jr won't concede on the issue and Pacman either wants to juice or doesn't wish to 'give in' to Mayweather Jr's demands.

In order for the fight to be made something has to give. He doesn't need $110 million, I'm sure he'd like it but it's Pacquiao needs the money more and I'm sure he'd be collecting around 80-90 million if Mayweather Jr's getting $110 but there's other detail that needs ironing out first, egos need to be put aside in order for this to happen.

So for you boxing is all about money. Despite his nickname, Money, Floyd Mayweather has been demonstrating all along that there are things more valuable than money. That's pride and honor. By vainly pursuing Floyd all these times due to the monetary prospects of that fight, isn't Manny on the other hand portraying himself as a greedy Don Quixote? Just think. It cuts both ways, dude.

BTW, the Bowe you are dissing is ready for enshrinement in the IBHOF.

Mayweather is trying to win the fight before it can even start. Sugar Ray Leonard did the same vs Roberto Duran. Leonard had 10 advantages before taking the fight, but could NOT take advantage of his many many advantages. Rematch, he needed those same 10 different advantages and for Duran to not be anywhere near 100% and in a rush to lose weight n get back in shape and in a rush to prepare for the rematch. Finally, Leonard could say he won. Leonard did the same with Hagler. Trying to win many advantages before willing to fight Hagler. Hagler had a long tough war with Mugabi n was talking about retiring before Leonard was finally willing to take the fight.

Mayweather is definately ticklish of Pacquiao, to want and demand so much before ever taking the fight. Same as Jones Jr. fearing the rematch with Hopkins. Hopkins had the intellegence n the defensive jab to neutralize Jones on the outside-from flying in to attack. And Hopkins is a super mean badger on the inside, although Jones is great on the inside too, but cannot win the inside fight ever, against Hopkins. So he knew he had nothing for his rematch with Hopkins 2. Hopkins had Jones' calling card n they both knew it very well. That rematch took ages for Jones to finally agree to fight, even though he was losing all the arguments at all points before the rematch finally took place 10 years too late. Jones' fault 100%

Bowe was scared of Lewis, period. No need to examine or explain. I'm sure he wanted a f'd up deal too n Lewis didn't agree with it. Maybe loser gets all the money, n winner can have the Heavyweight title belt.

Mayweather is simply a chickenshiiiiiit. If he was half as great as he wants us to believe he'd take the fight! Even if Manny is "juicing" he is still capable of losing...... Marquez proved that!

Come on big mouth...prove yourself!

Semper Fi

To me Fraud's a gigantic duck. And he's still growing. Throwing $110M away is fkng crazy. He's a fkng big crazy DUCK.

This is a huge huge amount. I hope he wouldn't turn down this lucrative offer but would demand for a bigger share that's for sure.

Is he really or is just more rumors ? Insane if he is. H say's he's the best, then prove it.

guys, you should wait for Floyd's idiotic/moronic demands in few weeks...

Arum claimed that offer from the Arab guys is straight BS so idk

probably.
