Mayweather Wants $20 Million For Pacquiao, Mosley Bouts

[RL_GMA]

Put it this way...

There isn't a fight out there for Floyd to make $20 mill, that's just reality. He's pricing himself high because he knows the demand is still there for him. But if he's serious about "really" fighting, he'll bring down his price. The thought of paying one guy $20 mill in the state of this country's economy is sickening IMO.

Also, people tend to forget that Floyd's 2 biggest purses came courtesy of Golden Boy Promotions. No other promotion is going to fork over $20 mill for Floyd and to be honest, he's not worth $20 mill because he wasn't the sole reason for the crowds and PPV numbers with both Oscar and Hatton fights. The highest profile fights he can get right now are with Pacquiao and possibly Mosley, and both those fights don't make $20 mill IMO.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Floyd is pricing himself too high after having just 2 high profile fights. He's either bluffing or literally out of his mind. I doubt any promoter budges until he drops his price.

In Negotiations always ask for more money than your worth or what you believe you will get

15 mill should do the trick, Floyds just asking for 20 to see if their that ****** to give in to him


Arum must also keep in mind that Floyd - Pac would be one of the top 5 PPV events of all time, if promoted right it could do 1.5 - 2 mil buys

Nobody will be able to guarantee 20 Mil, so if he is completely serious we wont be seeing him again. Although I dont think he would be talking money unless he was serious about fighting again, so this all might just be gamesmanship to see how much he can get out of these fights.
Physically speaking PB is still in his prime, it wouldnt be a bad idea to come back and grab a couple of huge paychecks while he is still relevant.

mayweather hasn't got the heart for fighting anymore. he is priceing himself out. i wish he would grow some ballz and fight pac though!!

Don't expect a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao in the near future. Recently Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions had reached out to Mayweather's advisor, Al Haymon, and tried to put together a deal for a bout between Mayweather and Shane Mosley. Schaefer made an offer of $8 million dollars. Mayweather would respond with an extreme counter - a request for a guarantee of $20 million dollars. [details]

How many fans will he draw? If Mayweather really believed that he is worth 20 mil, he would start promoting his own fights.

its a real shame ... i do think 8mil is not a legit offer ... but this is the fight. not the bull**** pac fight. smm vs pbf is the fight that should be happening. it would be great to get this fight done, a fight that i can truly see going either way, a fight for the real boxing fans.

if either were to win and clottey and cotto were to fight then the winner of both could fight eachother and that that would be amazing for boxing. none of this pacman ****, manny is not a welter.

i'd laugh my ass off if a past prime mosley beats floyd's ass.

probable too depending on how much shane has left.

[Mr. Ryan]

whats the suprise..hell he said 100 mill at first..he is money mayweather..you want him to unretire..pay the man or stfu

Are you Mayweather's BoxingScene agent?

8 Mil? Seems like gbp is either insulting the man or not really serious about the offer! P4P vs P4P will garner the type of money he wants so if Pacq gets past Hatton then he'll get what he is looking for! Nice to see all the margie fan boys here bashing pbf again! welcome back hypocrites! For the rest of the pbf bashers, keep it up! The hate will hopefully bring him bak and hopefully against your fav fighter so we can see you guys temporarily vanish like the margie boys! If 60-75% of your posts and threads are pertaining to a particular fighter then you are worthless to this forum and I suggest you switch it up or go some where else to rant/hate/hugg. You are missing out on the rest of this great sport and watering down this forum.
