If they start negotiating a fight next year (fat chance) and it get down to revenue split, should be even for both fighters or 80-20 for Money?
Base your answer on what the boxers have accomplished within the last year or so.
How do you know Pacquiao is still a big draw?...cuz even after losing "2" *ahem Bradley* straight fights. The ONE opponent people are asking Floyd to fight still is Manny Pacquiao.
The Floyd stans wanna see it just to finally shut everyone up about Pacquiao,
and the Pacquiao fans still believe Pac has the style to beat a "scared" May.
Also, the famous celebrities/casual media know ONLY 2 active boxers : Mayweather & Pacquiao...PERIOD $$$$$$$
no way in hell.
pacquiao gets a flat fee of 45 million. take it or leave it.
plus he needs to sign with tmt :D
floyd gets another 17% promoters fee :dance:
No idea if we'll ever see this fight happen. A big LOSS for boxing fans. These two boxers need to somehow be FORCED to fight each other for boxing's sake but, no, boxing is all about the BUSINESS these days instead of about fighting the best of the best.
You mean like when Manny was the fighter of the decade, active and winning titles left and right against guys like Cotto, Floyd was home relaxing and on a long vacation then came back and fought a 130lbs fighter at 146.
So from your logic, Manny should have got much more than Floyd the first time around (what have you done for me lately) but Floyd fans were not saying that.
Yep...exactly. You got to cash in while the kettle is HOT.
It's not even About Manny being put to sleep that matters here anymore. Pacquiao still is an even bigger draw than Canelo doubt he would take anything less than 40% and i dont think he should. The business is not about who is the best and records anymore am sad to say it's about numbers. That is if he wins convincingly against RIos if not he should just retire.
Here's how I see it....60/40 going to FMJ and saying Manny beats Rios.
Funny thing is.....The Money Team is all about money! Right?
Except when it comes to Manny! lol! That right there makes no f'n sense. Manny says "let's fight" and Mayweather says "you have to join TMT". Biggest pay day of your career and that's what you come up with? LOL! Isn't this the MONEY team?
Anyone with any common sense can see that's f'n excuse. The TMT camp talks alot s*** when it comes to Manny but come up unrealistic demands that has never been heard of in the sport of boxing. They are ruining boxing as we know it.
Down deep inside.... FMJ knows that Manny is about the only one in his weight class that could actually challenge him. Possibly even beat him. Regardless of Manny's KO from Marquez, Manny's got the skill sets. Speed, footwork, power, combos and a supporting cast. The shoulder roll doesn't like a southpaw.
But why risk it??? Keep picking these b and c class fighters with the biggest fan base. Market them to be something they are not and make an easy pay day.
All I'm saying is if you're all about money then what's the problem???? In my day, the best fighters fought each other. Not once but twice. It was about pride and not so much the money. To be the best you had to fight the best. Not pick some paper chump that's been hyped up. The best were proven and they are legends because of it. They took the challenge. Win or lose.
I for one will not purchase any FMJ fights. I will no longer support the cherry picking of less qualfiied fighters. For those of you smart enough you already know the outcome. He'll continue to pick some flat footed up and comer and the results will yield the same.
Unless FMJ grows a pair he won't be earning my cash.
STFU....they are even in term of notoriety and PPV. However this is a what have you done for me lately type of sport you b!tch.

During the post fight when mayweather was asked if he would be interested in a fight with pacquiao, his whole team was pretty much laughing at acting like it was a joke of a question. Please Floyd fans explain to me seriously and not with joke comments from both pacquiao and floyd fans, explain to me how they say Canelo was going to be such easy work and a sparring session yet they fight him. But they say pacquiao is now shot and a joke and that fight makes no sense now. That fight would generate the biggest ppv in history and most money floyd could ever make for what they are calling a glorified training session. So if the fight would be so easy, and make floyd the most money then why not fight him? You can fight guys like geurrero who we knew had no chance so ur already fighting guys we know you will beat, why not face Pacquiao then. To me it seems like they are contradicting themselves by acting like the fight is such a joke and not worth it yet its stll and always will be in high demand and would be bigger than Canelo Vs Floyd. If im an advisor to floyd im begging our team to make this fight right away as they all believe he will destory pacquiao........or do they still think his style might give floyd some issues. Because saying its a glorified training session does'nt make sense as they say that about all of his opponents. This is a serious unbiased question, no lame remarks or jokes from either side.
who knows they could do a trilogy kind of a world tour once in Vegas then the UK then the Philippians maybe even fight when they are 50 years old like Azumah vs Fenich and have ads tatted on their backs for more income just get it done finally would be nice to have it over otherwise it will be talked about forever and I have heard enough already
even now there would still be the same old what ifs like if Hagler fought Leonard in 83 would Hagler have won and I guess that can't be helped now
that fight would generate so much money even at 60/40 split Floyd would make more than any other fight on the board even if those fights were 75/25 so just make it happen everyone still wants to see it though 3 years ago would have been a better fight at least from a competitive standpoint Floyd will wipe the matt with manny now I think he still would have beat him 3 years ago but might have been a good fight
The reason I want to see the fight has less to do with it being a great fight but more to do with getting everyone else to stfu about it
this is strange. when they were negotiating the fight the first time floyd fans kept going on and on about how the fight should be split only based on how much money each guy could generate and accomplishments didn't matter. only money mattered. now it's on accomplishments? HYPOCRITE WARNING!

if you fight floyd you do random testing
thanks for the video but .. that video proves nothing !!! until i see footage of them taking random tests i wont believe they did it !!!!!! in all of the 24 7's they showed footage of them taking the test !!! but in this fight in which floyd looked the best he has in yrs , somehow there is no video evidence !!!! something is wrong here , looks like floyd only wants to bring up testing when manny in involved !!!!!!!
This being one of the reasons the fight didn't happen initially. Who gives a fuck what they make?
Make it happen NOW..
I'd still love to see how Floyd would handle a Southpaw such as Manny..
Pac better overcome the next bump in the road, a walking punching bag by the name of Bam Bam.
i dont think they did it this fight because if they did henny penny floyd wouldve been bragging about it !!!!!! i find it funny that all of the sudden now that manny is on hbo and hes on shotime he doesnt do random testing anymore !!! seems highly suspicious if you ask me !!!!!!!!
