Mayweather-Pacquiao: Arum Blows off Floyd's Demand

[thebowtod]

way to go arum, your an idiot.

[Bobby Shaw]

Floyd won't take 35%, that's for sure. I don't disagree that Floyd isn't the attraction, but he is still an attraction and 35 seems almost like a slap in the face. 50-50 I'd say.

And Floyd's ego still won't accept that. I'm pretty convinced the fight won't happen, even if this is just a ploy. I do agree with others and have seen some vids of Pac recently training. He's just looking unstoppable and I'm not convinced that Floyd's expert defense can't defend against it. Manny isn't bull headed like Hatton that's for sure. There is precision with his shots.

We'll see

Marquez did hurt Pacman a couple of times.Mayweather is fast than Marquez and Pacman is predictable though he's fast.He just gets in and out.Floyd is smart even roach said Floyd would make an ugly fight.

This is a big money fight.Floyd is an attraction because many people want to see him getting beat.Besides the Pacman couldnt do 2.4 million buys with Oscar.Lets see how many buys he does with hatton to see how good he is.

Arum is probably bluffing. Who else is he going to put Pacquiao in there with? Cotto? Cotto could get a fight with the winner later and probably make more money if he waits until his Top Rank contract runs out and becomes his own boss. Why would he fight Pacquiao for Top Rank? That'd probably force him to resign with Top Rank. If he did that he could kiss any chance of fighting Mayweather or Hatton goodbye for just about ever.

I giuarantee that Cotto gets atleast 40%, he aint dumb.

Pac Should get 60% against a guy like Cotto, 65% agaisnt guys like Mosley and JMM, and 55% against a guy like Floyd.

No way, FLoyd will settle for 35%, thats absurd and ridiculous!!!!

agreed, floyd's on crack if he thinks he should get 60%, he should get no more than 45%

[a-raines21]

this is bull****..... floyd should get no less that 50% to fight someone he is favorited to beat..... arum is a dumbass

[cottothechamp]

screw the money, this fight needs to get made, not bout the money, this is about whos true p4p in the world.

[Miburo]

Should be a dead-even split.

[Bhopreign]

As soon as the fight is made people will say Floyd is too big for Manny, same old stuff, Floyd just keeps going and going.

Arum is nonsense, of course Floyd should get the lion's share. Did Manny do 2.4 million when he fought Oscar, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arum's trippin'. But I also dont think Floyd deserves 60 percent either.

Either way the public demand for this fight if Pacquiao beats Hatton will be monsterous. It would be the biggest fight below heavyweight since Hagler/Leonard. They will have to work something out.

Too big for Manny, too small for the Welterweights.
