That offer was a complete joke and Mayweather knew pac would not accept it. Oscar de la hoya didn't give mayweather a flat fee. He didn't give pacquiao a flat fee. Mayweather didn't give hatton a flat fee, didn't offer cotto a flat fee etc..
And then he offers pac a flat fee with no PPV Upside in a fight that would have broken records? and be the biggest money fight in the history of the sport. Think about that for a second. And no he could not do that with any other fighter other than pac. Pac had one and still has today one of the biggest fanbase in boxing.
Now he says he will only fight pac if he is not with arum. The excuses never stop.
Uhh this about sums it up. Manny is never about the money-until its time to fight floyd.
what sums it up? I just explained to you how you were wrong, and then you quote some other goofball who said a useless platitude about how manny fights for free. hmmm ok............manny doesn't fight for free and we all know that. top rank doesn't put on fights for free and we all know that. now how about you respond to the facts I put forth? please answer these questions. you want manny and top rank to accept a sh-it deal because manny is a warrior? you want manny and top rank to accept a deal that would make them less money than fighting Brandon rios? and you think this was a great deal? please answer.
but Floyd refused those as well. in fact hes the one that asked for those and then refused to fight. I don't remember pac asking for anything then refusing to fight when Floyd agreed. oh well logic is lost on some people. hypocrisy is your god.
Nice, so I ask again. What would be a fair offer for Manny?
Continue to attack Floyd but understand that's not the premise of my question.
However, Manny asked, Floyd accepted. Floyd asked, Manny refused. So please, quote me and answer what would be fair
So show us how it works. Go ahead.a flat fee is guaranteed money, thats great that pac got 40 million, but when floyd gets not only the ppv revenue, but ALL the revenue streams from the fight, its not 50/50 anymore hell not even 60/40, floyd would be making much much much more than pac that night. which would be ridiculous especially in between 2009-2011 when pac was actually producing more buys that floyd overall. It was insane offer for how big this fight truly is
lets be honest Floyd fans are not very smart. they have no critical thinking ability. they see something and believe it without thinking. they act like manny could have left top rank even though he was under contract. illegal! if top rank and manny accepted that offer arum gets 30 percent of 40 million....do the math that leaves around 27 million with no ppv upside for the biggest fight in boxing history. now manny does around 30 million per fight anyway. why would he take that joke of an offer? hmmm should I take less money for the biggest fight? someone once said boxing was a business....who was dat? it was another publicity stunt to make it seem like Floyd wanted the fight. it only worked on stupid ignorant people that can't do math or grasp the concept of contracts.
Because Pac's retard fans say that Manny would fight him for free and he is a warrior who loves fans
Uhh this about sums it up. Manny is never about the money-until its time to fight floyd.
Please, someone let us know what would be a fair offer for little ol Manny
50/50 split with random testing that he refused? 50/50 with a 14 day cutoff he refused? 40 mil flat?

Manny had an offer of 50/50 and walked away over drug testing....got a 40 million offer after saying he would take less then demanded 50/50...he turned down 2 huge paydays
$40million dollars is actually a lot of money, if you didn't know.
I'm going to do the math based on some conservative numbers.
Let's say Mayweather vs Pacquiao would have sold 2.5 million PPVs @ $65.
That's $162.5Mill. Cut that in half for the network and cable companies shares, that leaves $81.2Mill for the fighters.
So Pacquiao gets a flat fee of $40mill out of $81.2Mill.
Now unless the PPV does something crazy like 3Mill PPV+, yeah the $40mill offer becomes a low ball. But if does any where around 2Mill-2.8, $40million at worst is a 55-45 split in favor of Floyd....thats not how it works and yes this fight would easily do 3 million buy
