Damn I hate to talk about Floyd/Manny. . . It has been run into the ground. . . But I just wanted to know what's up with the favoritism fighthype shows towards Floyd? Why sacrifice journalistic integrity just to try to help your favorite fighter out? Ben Thompson is a good writer, who is able to convey and express his opinions very well; indeed, a very well spoken gent. . . But I just can't help but notice how every article is pro-Floyd?

I mean, yeah Im sure Arum isn't helping the issue, but WHY WOULD FLOYD demand more than 50%? Wasn't that agreed upon ages ago? How can he still be pointing the finger at Arum, and not placing majority (or at least half of it) on Floyd himself?

You can make good, logical arguments for either side being more deserving of the lion's share. . . but they essentially negate each other out, and unless they want to do a winner take all, or winner take lion's share, THE ONLY LOGICAL split is 50/50 on everything. . .

Please don't "ban" me for this. . . I really just want to know why. . .

It is amazing how truth can be considered biased. People eat up Arum's filth like it is prime steak. The moment an article questions Arum all of the sudden it is biased. The truth is people who investigate what really has been happening these past two now going on three years can clearly see that Arum and Pacquiao's camp does not want this fight.

You quickly point out that Mayweather does not want a 50/50 spilt but you fail to mention that Pacquiao said that he would take a smaller purse in order to make the fight. So how is it that Floyd agreed that Manny will take the smaller purse that it is his fault. Pacquiao should of never said anything about taking a smaller purse knowing that Arum would rather convert to Islam than take a smaller purse in a big fight like this.

The blame can be put on both camps shoulders, but from what I read on the front page this morning, Arum seems to be the one with a million excuses and not Mayweather. Do not let the media pick your heroes and villains. And why would Ben put quotes from other journalist that is basically Arum's BS and lies? Maybe the journalist that work on this site know the truth and can see right through the BS.
