But most people and media would be wrong, because the purse split is not between Manny and Floyd. The purse spit is between Floyd and Bob. And it is sorry that most fans cannot realize that. Perception might lead people to believe that Floyd is ducking by asking for more of than 50% but the truth is Manny and Floyd are not on equal ground to begin with. That is reality, no perception. The two bosses are Floyd and Bob. Manny is Bob Arum's employee. Golden Boy and Al Haymon is Floyd's employee. Manny Pacquiao needs to get his money from Bob, not Floyd. Those numbers show that Manny is not in charge of anything. And Floyd is stupid for even talking to Manny. Manny cannot put pressure on Bob to make to fight. And Bob Arum has been more than clear that he is not interested in making this particular fight. So if Bob is not interested, then the fight will not get made.
lol... Who gives a sh!t how Pac divides his shares with his team.. Its a matter of revenue and how much each fighter brings to the table.. And lol, its not Pac who has problems with the IRS...Pac already said no, and he is not willing to accept anything less than a 50/50 split, and everybody with a sound mind agrees with him...
Pac is already a multi-millionaire, he doesnt need any advice from you morons about how much he should be getting, or if he is getting screwed or not. That's on him and him alone.
The point is that Floyd is starting to get expose as a dVcker for this, and his OST demand is starting to look like nothing more than a smokescreen...
It's sad relative to what Floyd and De La Hoya get guaranteed, but it's hardly sad. He's making millions of dollars people, let's not pretend he's fighting to pay his bills.
That said, those are very low guarantees, relative to the money he generates.
No it is sad I don't give a sh*t how many millions he is making a hard working man is getting short changed by a greed prick who sits in an arm chair watching his minions beat their health out of one another.
People should be disgusted by what's happening, not happy (If they are a Floyd fan) or defensive (If they are a Manny fan).
I don't see how that Roach reference compares. We're talking about the biggest financial fight in the history of boxing. Put yourself in Floyd's shoes, would you really be comfortable giving Arum so much more than Pacquiao?
Roach gets 5-10% cut.
Why does it matter what Pacquiao does with his share, Floyd should get 50% and he can do with it what he wants just as Pacquiao can do with his share what he wants.
What Pacquiao does with his money is his business not Floyd's. If Pacquiao give Arum a cut for promoting then it is Pacquiao's decision not Floyd's.
And when did Arum stop Floyd fighting Oscar?
It is excuses, nothing to do with boxing.
What next Floyd doesn't want Roach training Pacquiao because Freddie bad mouthed his father.
Floyd is a joke.

It matters because the guy that is ****ing over the fighter is the same guy that prevented him from fighting Oscar De La Hoya back in the day. This just can't simply be ignored, it's an important piece to the puzzle.

It's not even about excuses though. One side is clearly being taken advantage of, and that's just not right. How are the hell are we in 2012 and seeing someone get ripped off so badly?
And why is that Mayweather's problem.
Maybe Floyd should investigate the low wages in India and China or even in the USA where a lot of people get taken advantage of, if he that interested in financial injustice.
Romney only pay 13% tax, get Floyd on the case to deal with that too.
So the time they had drinks and a chat together in Dalas was just for the cameras.
Even if he does hate him, is that more important to him than boxing. Take care of your own business.
Pacquiao and Arum have a contract, that ain't going to change anytime soon, Floyd knows this, so why go down this route.
How many excuses are you willing to listen to from Floyd, they keep on getting more and more obscure but you guys keep on eating it up.

How much each fighter make is between him, his promoter, and the IRS...
Instead of the amount the fighters make, people should concentrate on how much each fighter brings to the table...The point is that both fighters generates the same amount of revenue, and that should just be the sole reason on determining the split..
Bottomline if Floyd demands a more than 50% share, then he really is dodging this fight... And that is how most neutral fans, the media would look at it..

Well, doesn't this matter to Floyd because he used to be with Top Rank? He clearly has some animosity towards Bob Arum, so why just blindly give Arum a ton of money when he might have a shot of giving Pac more money and at the same time give Arum less?

That's how most people that got through pre-school would see it.
If some have picked a side and just supporting their man, well I pity you but I can understand, if anyone thinks that Floyd is right, for even bringing this up and making his demands, then they have serious problems and they should seek help.

Pacquiao's biggest purse is 7 mil. He really needs to ditch his promoter.
And what does this matter to Floyd, is he thinking of becoming an accountant?
If Bob is ripping Manny off thats between Bob and Manny, why is Floyd getting involved why does it concern him.
Facts are Pacquiao generates big money, more than Floyd in their lasts fights, whether that be for himself of Bob.
It has nothing to do with Mayweather, so why is he bringing it up, simple, just as the blood tests, it is a smokescreen for him to duck this fight.
Floyd doesn't want it and he never has.
Isn't this a favor to Pacquiao though? He can see how he should earn more of the purse upfront. If he earns $40M just from the fight that could possibly mean he will earn more than he has before and also make Arum earn less as well. The whole point of this to me is to show how Arum is ripping off Pacquiao.
and to paste a great post
Mayweather just needs to offer 50-50, otherwise, how does he make what he is asking for without Pac?? If Mayweather does not change his stance and holds his demand of more than 50-50, then he will end up making 50% of nothing.
there end of discussion. nyahahahhaha
