Oh yeah I forget about Uncle Sam...35% of your pay...Manny might make a lot of money but he don't see a lot of money...thats why he's fighting two times a year...it take 3 fights for Manny to see the kind of money Floyd sees in 1 fight...hate if you like but this is real talk...this aint about no Pactard this or no Flamo this...its about MONEY...the whole blood test thing is about TopRank asking for 50/50 split...so Mayweather says take the test...TopRank say NO...Mayweather says ok give me 60/40 or 70/30 split...Top Rank say NO...why because they know Pacquiao ain't gonna see **** for Money that will be the biggest earning fight in the history of the sport and Bob Arum will get exposed for what he really is...Can you follow? Picture this: Floyd get 70 million after PPV earnings...Pacquaio gets 30 or 40 million after PPV earnings but then Bob gets his cut 27% = $10,800,000 million for Arum that leaves $29,200,000...now GBP gets there cut 25% = 7,300,000 for GBP that leaves $21,900,000 for Manny who has the IRS saying we want are cut 35% of earnings another $7,665,000 for the Uncle Sam that leaves $14,235,000 million for Manny to split with his team...DAMN!...Will the fight happen...NO...if doesn't make dollars it doesn't make sense and when crunch the numbers this fight will not happen unless they place the fight somewhere it can generate close to 200 million...Dallas maybe...South Africa maybe... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by rayb112; Today at 10:44 PM.
