Everybody not a pac fanatic knows Floyd deserved a bigger cut to begin with. Pac was considered the CHALLENGER to Floyd's throne. Not the other way around. Floyd didnt need his promoting, literally needed nothing of pac and his team aside from showing up to fight. Floyd would have been stupid to have given such a cut to Arum. Floyd had the numbers, venue, promotion, date, everything. Pac just needed to bring the fans and himself along.
This is sad that Koncz comes out and says this. Showing absolutely NO shame.
I do think Floyd was low balling Pac with the PPV thing but in hindsight... Pac ended up making less and being KOd...and losing to Bradley. They criticized Marquez for doing it then losing to Chris John, then he gets it much worse. :|...
Unlike Pac (unfortunately which is a crying shame) Mayweather is making close to as much money fighting Guerrero than he would with Pac. Why? Significantly less money going to Guerrero and dominating a much bigger cut and percentage. Sure bigger numbers with pac but lets say... 50% of 500? Or 80 of 300 with less risk?
He'd be a better opponent for Floyd than Guerrero but that fight honestly does nothing much at all for me now.
If he had chosen to fight Pac instead of Guerrero, you and others would say that Guerrerro would be a better fight and that Floyd was ducking Guerrero.
Lmao thats what Manny and his team get! They got too big headed and needed a sense of humility again in negotiations. I always thought Mayweather should get 60% and Pacquiao 40% even back in 2009-10.
It was always the debate on who can take dow "Mayweathers 0" nit whocan stop Pacquiao

Koncz is stating the obvious. Mayweather offered him $40 million a year ago. Now Pac would be lucky to get a $20 million guarantee (which still would be more than he has ever made fighting for Arum). By this time next year, Pac will be begging Mayweather for a fight the same way Mosley did after turning the fight down twice snd will ''settle" for the $8 million guarantee that Cotto received for fighting Mayweather.

Pacquiao can't go around making his own decisions, Master Arum is gonna bitch slap him if he finds out Pacquiao is going around negotiating for himself.:cool2:
sure that ship has sailed but id STILL rather be watching mayweather vs pacquiao tonight rather than mayweather vs guerrero, thats for sure.
Exactly, ****ing retards on their periods in this thread.
too late, I will never pay for this fight anymore, unless it's free. Floydiot will be forever remembered as a vagina who avoided this fight by all means.
Uuuhh, no. It's more like Pacman avoided the needle at all costs.
Heck, even a third grader confident in his skills would take a random test to prove he can still beat the third grade bully and be the hero of the entire school.
The biggest fights that never happened in my lifetime were Pacquiao-Mayweather, Fedor vs Randy Couture, Fedor vs Brock Lesnar and maybe Vitali vs Lennox rematch or Lennox vs Wlad. And maybe Riddick Bowe vs Tyson
Lennox would have destroyed wlad inside 6 rds
There was no need for Mayweather to bring up the financial split once his testing demands were agreed to, both fighters were going to make loads of money. He was just looking for a way out.
After all the back and forth between fans, the fact remains that Pacquiao has NEVER undergone more stringent drug testing despite "agreeing" to do it for a Mayweather fight (after originally walking away from it over testing). He could have proved his intentions by doing it for other fights, but not doing it means it's just lip service and can be taken with a pinch of salt. Now Pacquiao may be fighting where no type of testing is mandatory.
Koncz may have been asked questions but could have easily have just stated that Team Pacquiao is focusing on getting Manny back on track and they'll see what happens after his next fight. Easy.... and smart. But to launch into silly comparisons about both men's humanitarian exploits or money for a fight that isn't near the horizon, smacks of desperation. Pacquiao's next performance will speak better for him than mouthpiece Koncz.
I would not pay to watch this fight, the very though of May Vs Pac being ordered makes the fan stupid, both camps disrespected the sport of Boxing during the original negotiations.
It's not really possible right now. But who's to say if Manny comes bac and beats Rios/Alvarado and busts them up, than beats the Marquez/Bradley winner....that it's not the fight to make once again???
too late, I will never pay for this fight anymore, unless it's free. Floydiot will be forever remembered as a vagina who avoided this fight by all means.
Hilarious. So now they'd even accept the 40 million dollars that they turned down. You need to build yourself back up, Manny. Even your biggest fans have swept you under the rug after your last lost. They're now building up Canelo as the man to beat Floyd.
