Pacquiao: "De La Hoya's Offer is a Slap in My Face"

[SkillspayBills]

This is the **** I don't get about the boxing "business" The motha****a is turning down AT LEAST 10 million dollars to fight Soto, who will get him what............3 million AT THE MOST.

Manny,

If you genuinely believe that you can do 2 mil in PPV sales with Oscar, then you are an ultra-idiot for not taking the 70/30 terms.

Floyd made 30 million. You have a chance to make 25-30 million. When you usually make FIVE.

Oscar is basically asking for 2x the money that Pacquiao will make. Which seems reasonable when you consider that Oscar sells a million (Hopkins, Tito, Vargas, Mayorga, Shane 2) and manny sells 350K.

Oscar is a *****....but 70/30 is right.

He is narrow-minded. You spend dollars, not percentages.

Which would you rather have:
a) $5 million
b) 30% of 100 million

Dude,

Even Pacquiao, his team, and his mom don't think it should be 50/50.

Damn, If fans knew and understood boxing, then boxers wouldn't have to depend on guys like Oscar to have a big payday. Sad to see that boxing still needs Oscar and the fight to get is a fight with him.

Why is this guy still in the spotlight!

Manny don't even do 350k unless its against a top opponent like Marquez. Manny vs. David Diaz did 165k buys. Even at 70-30 Pac is being overpaid.

Slap in the face? What is Pacquiao going to do if Hatton loses before Manny gets a shot at him? Fight Soto and Nate Campbell for a COMBINED $6 OR 7 mil. And if he wins both of those then what? Guzman or Marquez for maybe 5 more? That'd be three REALLY TOUGH fights that will still make him less than one fight with Oscar would have.

I wish someone would offer me a "slap in the face" offer like that. This is almost on par with Mayweather's "slave wages" comment back in '98.

I mean it's all relative. Manny gets $3-5 mil per fight, which I'd say qualifies as a big payday, but Oscar churns out BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG paydays.

Exactly.

Floyd took the deal and then got 60-40 against Hatton and was offered either 60-40 or 55-45 for the Oscar rematch.

Think long term Manny.
