Mayweather Wants $20 Million For Pacquiao, Mosley Bouts

[Dave Rado]

Yea, I’m not sure man…for a guaranteed $20mil, your opponent better be Tyson or DLH….with Shane, I think $10-12 is realistic…Shane isnt that much of a draw

If GBP offers $12 million plus a lion's share of the PPV etc., that would be a serious offer, but they haven't. As I say, I don't think they really want it.

I also think Mayweather is waiting for the Pac-Hatton fight, as I think he's more interested in fighting Pacquiao. But regardless of that, I really don't think GBP are serious about the fight.

[GRUSTLER]

you're right Grustler...and when Schaeffer drops the idea of giving $20mil and the fight doesnt go thru, then i guess floyd really showed em huh?

If Schaeffer offers PBF 20MIL & he doesn't take it then that's when we can question PBF's intentions but remember PBF was about to get another 20MIL to rematch Oscar De La Hoya but pulled out because Oscar wanted it to be the same split & PBF said "Go To Hell. I Beat You B4" No matter how you look at it 8MIL
was not a good price to approach PBF with. It kind of said to him like "Yeah we want to fight you but this is how much we think it is worth" PBF turned down 20MIL before because he felt like he should get more so you know 8MIL wasn't going to fly. Why would he be scared of Mosley when he tried to fight him already when Shane was younger?

THIS GUY MAKES A GREAT ARGUMENT ON THE FLOYD SITUATION..!

I kinda agree with this video, though some parts are biased... however the simple part he is trying to get across are correct;

$8,000,000 guaranteed to fight Mosley is way too low...
$20,000,000 guaranteed demand to fight Mosley is too high...

I think he is also right about the negotiations, they should of cranked the money up a little bit to see if Floyd lowers his demand until they make a peace on a guaranteed amount.

I have said this quite a bit before and I believe people agree with me so I will say it again; Floyd is bluffing, playing the game, to see how much he could potentially get at maximum for a comeback fight. I think if they were to offer him something like $14,000,000+ there would be a good chance in him accepting it, a comeback for Floyd would have buy written all over it whether you like him or not, or even if you are a neutral fan. If he was given $14,000,000 guaranteed then the fight could easily earn him another $6,000,000+ just from ticket sales and PPV buys (and I mean easily).

That is just my opinion anyway, you guys know I am not biased and a fair poster who respects peoples opinions... but the guy in the video is right, $8,000,000 is too low... and $20,000,000 is too high, simple as that.

Oh yeah by the way when he said Arum doesn't want Floyd to fight Pacquiao that was bull**** in my opinion, hes entitled to his opinion and all but no way that Arum thinks a Pacquiao vs Floyd showdown is a bad idea... it would be the biggest fight for years to come.

Agreed that's fair, simple thing is what people are saying and other should realize is that $8,000,000 is way too low... and $20,000,000 is way too high, its as simple as that.

UK was 1.4 million buys, USA was 850,000. UK subscribers pay less than US subscribers, though.

like i said on my previous post.... the 8 millions offer was joke...
but floyd is delusional if he thinks he deserve or he will get a prime mike tyson payday..

As I say, if GBP make him a serious offer then we'll know whether Floyd is interested in the fight or not, but they haven't, so I don't think GBP are serious about making the fight.

I was responding to someone who wrote that nobody is interested in Floyd.

thanks for the number kid!!!

got u.. that uk is cheaper.. but .. still.. for me.. that says another thing... but if u feel like thats the case.. because it was cheaper in the UK.. its all good.. a matter of oppinions!!

GBP: that offer was a joke!! they know ... they will have to pay him way more.... but not 20 millions.

i think they just threw that offer .. to see what was his reaction... either way...

pbf wont fight shane... or cotto or any top welter... he knows his limits...

even if you dont like floyd.... u cant say that!! the guy definitly have following...! and generate buzz !

its good to have him... my personal oppinion... is that it sucks that he just want to push himself to the limit! and i know he can!!

so.. i give him props where he deserve... 140 and below.. the best handsdown..

147 and above.. is another story.... because he doesnt want to do it.. for whatever reason...

from me.. i give him props for what he deserve.. nothing more nothing less!!

thanks for the real talk!

The outrage should be about how they lowballed him a measly 8 million.

If they meet halfway at 13.5 million that seems fair to me.
