Because that was two different JMM's in the ring. Just my two cents. When he fought PBF, he had never fought above 135 before. He had only fought twice at 135 before jumping all the way to 142 and Floyd came in 3 pounds over the 144 limit. By the time JMM and Manny fought last year, JMM already had multiple fights at 135 and a tune up fight at 140 to get used to the weight again. Huge differences IMO.
Mayweather calls out Pacquiao. May 5th. Official?

only an idiot would speak in definite terms about something that he has zero control over or inside knowledge of
everyone is speculating at this point...an educated guess will lead you to believe that with the fan fare and amount of money involved that the fight will happen at some point...maybe not may 5th, maybe not this year and maybe too late in most peoples eyes but it will most likely happen
and the natural step after one is a rematch because of the fan bases of both...
anybody stating those two points is just using logic

If memory serves me right...Jose Luis Castillo is the only boxer Mayweather fought twice.
So if there is even one fight that happens between them, it is not necessarily true that Mayweather and Pacquiao will have multiple fights.

Mayweather said he's not doing a 50/50 split. Does he deserve more? Yes, just look at his recent ppv buys vs Pacs buys.
Just looks like another hurdle, and another excuse for Arum. Fight should at least be 55/45, but if it's not 50/50, I don't see it happening

Arum is definitely gonna use this as an excuse. Honestly, 50/50 is as fair as it's gonna get. Floyd does command more viewers, but without Pacquiao then you don't have the biggest fight, from a monetary standpoint, in boxing history. Same can be said in regards to Pacquiao needing Floyd to get the most money, but either way you need these two boxers. That said, 50/50 sounds fair to me or whoever wins gets 55 and the loser gets 45...

You're probably right, but you can still commit that.

Why would anyone think Floyd deserves more money?Pacquiao vs Marquez was a clean sell out and did around 1.4 million buys...Mayweather vs Ortiz didn't sell out AND big players in Vegas were getting comped and it had 1.20 million buys.Not only that, but I kept reading that Vegas was kinda dead during Mayweather vs Ortiz, compared to how it was during Pacquiao vs Mosley.The fight should be a 50-50 split. Anyone of them asking for more is crazy.

Floyds ego will never let him go to 50-50 split with Manny.

Point taken. But people are already speculating that a Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight will be a trilogy whether or not the loser deserves a rematch or not. If they are speculating that it indeed will be a trilogy due to the amount of money that could be made, then the Mayweather vs. De La Hoya should have been more than one fight. Over $120 MILLION on that one fight alone.

I agree, Proshares is probably the only boxing fan on here I tend to agree with time and time again.
