Mike your very funny and your comments have about as much substance as the world ending in 2012.
The mayweather and pacman fight was about money, but not about the 50/50 split. They both agreed a 50/50 split, but what coudn't be agreed was the venue. Mayweather was committed to Vegas, which would see a 40 million pound fight, split 50/50 that 20 million each. Pacman however (and promotional team) wanted the fight at the new american football stadium, which has a capacity of 150,000 people. The revenue generated from fighting at the new stadium would have been 60million, therefore the split would have been 30million each. Pacman and co were trying to push the fight out by 1 month to gain an additional 10 million each, which makes perfect business sense. Don't forget, boxing is a business, regardless of what the punters want to see in terms of fights, its all about the bottom line. The olypmic style tests will be done and agreed to when the fight is made, later this year. Providing both get through there next fights.
In terms of the comment made about how Pacman can now take a punch from a heavier man when before he couldn't from a light man, this has no tangible evidence suggesting he's on drugs to achieve this. Good/improved conditioning and putting on weight the correct way will actually assist in his punch resistance. If he cut too much weight when fighting lighter, this could have contributed to him being dropped in the past as the resistance wouldn;t have been there. Ive had my bell rang a fair few times at a light weight, but when boxing at light welter/welter i can handle the power better and haven't felt the effects of a big shot so much.
