Koncz: We offered Floyd $50 million

I find the timing of all this new information very convenient , they must be going to announce Pacs next fight ,, so funny . find time understanding this... step back and look, you know who has been preventing this fight from happening. 1. At the beginning people thought the fight was almost signed, 50/50 was ok with Mayweather. Everyone thought the fight was on, including Pacquiao, then he throws a curve ball, the OSDT. Pacquiao agrees to 28 day cutoff, Mayweather says 14 days. No fight. 2. Second round of talks, Pacquiao agrees to the 14 days, Mayweather changes his mind, it was ok before but now it's not, why? Again no fight. 3. Pacquiao finally agrees to whatever Mayweather's testing demands are. Mayweather throws another curve ball, 50/50 used to be ok, now it's not, why? Again no fight. If you look at the common denominator here, someone has been consistently throwing curve balls and road blocks from making this fight. While the other guy keeps making concessions to those demands to try and make the fight. Bullseye! Roadblocks are meant to evade, duck, dodge, hide in yo mamma's skirt.. ummm Floyd should grow a pair first before blaming it on arum coz Floyd rather fight for chump change with Cotto than fighting Pac for 50 mill plus fight. Dodging again maybe? Who turns down 50 plus mill and go for chump change. Clear as day who's quaking here. Evven if he agrees to a 50/50 split with pac he will still earn more than fighting cotto. A cool 50million to 100 million more.. Hmm. risk is too high fighting Pac so go for a safer route aye. Just tell you're boy to fight legit fights not fighting has beens and old men who has nothing left in the tank. Cotto is being thrown in the gallows.. Beating up a dead horse ain't going to improve Floyd's legacy. Floyd is a fvkn Joke

I find the timing of all this new information very convenient , they must be going to announce Pacs next fight ,, so funny . Yeah why not find time understanding this hehe: He flew all the way to usa for Floyd. Had a decent sit down with him. The professional way as what he said Floyd was discrete to listen to him. Konz gave a good effort in making it happen. Hating about this is just plain silly.. He gave a man offer of 55/45 winner get 55 seems like a fair deal. Still Floyd didn't flinch and rather fight cotto for chump change. So which is more clearer to you Floyd getting in a fight with Cotto for chump change? Or Floyd not liking the 55/45 deal. Seems like both sucks whichever way you put it. Floyd ducking is down to a T. MAster ducker at it's best.

Doesn't Floyd make more than 50 million fighting other fighters? 40 mil is the most he earned fighting ortiz.....there is no way cotto only makes as much as ortiz did vs floyd...so my guess is that floyd aint gonna get paid more than that fighting cotto ...it aint possible...

Doesn't Floyd make more than 50 million fighting other fighters? All you have to know is fighting pac will bring in more benjamins for him its the super bowl of boxing. We all know he went for the cheaper safer route fighting Cotto.. Ducking again maybe? ;)

I find the timing of all this new information very convenient , they must be going to announce Pacs next fight ,, so funny .

Doesn't Floyd make more than 50 million fighting other fighters?

What's great about this whole thing is we get Pacquiao-Bradley vs Peterson-Marquez, 3 legitimate, relevant fights...and we don't have to put up with Pacquiao-Cotto 2.

Floyd offered Pacquiao €100 million though.

Koncz: We offered Floyd $50 million By Abac Cordero (The Philippine Star) Updated February 03, 2012 12:00 AM http://www.philstar.com/SportsArticle.aspx?articleId=773896&publicationSubCategoryId=69&keyword=sp_boxing MANILA, Philippines - Floyd Mayweather Jr. was offered much more than what he had offered Manny Pacquiao, and yet the undefeated American refused to make the fight happen. Pacquiao’s adviser, Mike Koncz, yesterday said he’s been in constant communication with Mayweather in hopes of making the fight that the whole planet wants to see. But the fight has been shelved, and yesterday Mayweather announced that he’s taking on Miguel Cotto on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. An Associated Press (AP) report said Mayweather will fight Cotto after Nevada’s athletic commissioners granted him a conditional license for one fight before he goes to jail in June. Koncz told ESPN.com that he, with the knowledge of both Pacquiao and Top Rank chief Bob Arum, offered Mayweather $50 million for the fight. On top of that, Koncz said he also told Mayweather of a 55-45 split of the revenues, and that the winner gets the bigger share. But these were not enough to move the American superstar. A couple of weeks ago, Pacquiao and Mayweather spoke on the phone, and later on it was revealed that Pacquiao asked Mayweather if they could do it at 50-50. But Mayweather was quick to turn it down, and in return offered Pacquiao a guaranteed purse of $40 million but that the Filipino champ will get nothing from the pay-per-view sales. Some branded Mayweather as greedy for making Pacquiao such an offer, and most people thought that at 50-50 split is just in the right direction. “I’ve been talking to Floyd directly and I made a commitment to keep it out of the media, but with him saying all the things that he’s been saying – that Manny ducked the fight, that Manny is only a $10 million fighter. I am compelled to talk to the media and say what really happened,” Koncz, still in the US, told ESPN.com. Koncz said as part of the offer, both Pacquiao and Mayweather would be guaranteed $50 million each, and that Pacquiao no longer has any problems with the drug-testing procedure. “Manny agreed to everything, whenever anyone wanted, except on the day of the fight. Floyd said, ‘Ok, that’s great.’ My discussions with Floyd were cordial, professional and during our discussions we both treated each other with the utmost respect.” Koncz said that while Arum was looking at the last week of May or June 9 as the date of the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, they never really ruled out May 5, if that’s what Mayweather would want. Pacquiao will soon make his announcement as well regarding his June 9 fight, either at the Thomas and Mack Center, also in Las Vegas, or at the MGM. Leading the pack of potential opponents for Pacquiao is the undefeated Tim Bradley. It seems that the two others, Juan Manuel Marquez and Lamont Peterson, are bound to fight themselves. With Pacquiao out of his way, at least for May or June, Mayweather can now say whatever he wants. “I’m fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5th because Miss Pac Man is ducking me,” he said. Who the hell is the we that Koncz is talking about. How can he and Pac offer Mayweather a damn thing when they themselves are nothing more than employees of Top Rank and have no authority to negotiate or offer any fighter anything with regards to a fight.

funny how Flomos blasted Pacquiao for turning down a lower COUNTER OFFER from Floyd LMAO Pac offered the best, generous and fair deal, Mayweather offered sh^t, filth. Who does business like this? Accusing someone who's going to help you generate 200 million dollars of steroids without proof? Going on USTREAM with RACIST rants? Offering your opponent a lousy deal knowing he wont accept it? pathetic! These hoodrats can only get away with acting like this in boxing, in the business world on one tolerates this buffoonery. notice how the Flomos have completely backed off the steroid claim once Floyd switched gears to 50-50, now their on about how Floyd deserves the bigger cut. It's all coming full circle.

Same sh!t different day. Mayweather: "I only said that cause that's what my fans wanted to hear." :lol1: 55/45 to the winner cracks me up though. D@mn Floyd, :lol1: OWNED

YEAH...OK? :nonono: and he says this AFTER Mayweather and Cotto agrees to fight :nonono: it was a counter offer to floyd's 40 million offer to pac....floyd is the one who refused 50/50...not team pacquaio...no way to spin this sh1t...

YEAH...OK? :nonono: and he says this AFTER Mayweather and Cotto agrees to fight :nonono:

Floyd's going to make $50 mil vs Cotto. hows that even possible?...unless you expecting this fight to do close to 2 milion...

Is there some kind of quota that I'm unaware of of how many threads need to be started for the same topic?

Floyd's going to make $50 mil vs Cotto.

Yep...come out with this AFTER Mayweather-Cotto is signed...I think this is all a smoke screen to get one more payday for Floyd and Manny before the big fight and Top Rank and Golden Boy are working cooperatively behind the scenes...

no one cares about that bull**** anymore!
