Arum: "Whoever (even my boy Cotto) fights Manny Pacquiao now gets 35% or less!"

[javelin_fangs]

sounds good to me. Nobody deserves more than 35

Which might make sense if you look at it from a certain perspective, but look at it like this; if Pacquiao fights Mayweather his OWN earning potential increases. If he were to fight Edwin Valero or Humberto Soto he could get 90% of the money and it wouldn't be half of what even 55% of the money against Mayweather is.

So, if you're Mayweather, why should you agree to a deal that's about as bad as it could possibly be for you? If Arum says Pacquiao gets 65% or no deal then fighters who could potentially get a better deal down the line will wait until a better deal is available. That's fu(kin' ******ed because, in effect, by being so greedy and basically demanding every last cent Arum is killing negotiations before they even start.

So Arum is keeping Pacquiao away from Mayweather basically. Good move by him if he doesn't want to see his boy embarrassed. He's doing the same thing with Pavlik keeping him away from any fighter with a pulse, especially Abraham.

At least not all fans are blind.

Arum is protecting Pacquiao from that ass whooping.

Exactly.

Pacquiao needs to get a set of balls and call out Mayweather. He will never do it because his daddy, Arum, told him not to. He's scared, he knows he got his ass beat by Marquez who is not on the level of Mayweather.

Dude, if the 650,000 number is true then on it's not. If the 1.6 mil number is true then yes it is. If it's about halfway in between the two then we'll have to wait for the Mayweather-Marquez numbers to say one way or the other.

What has Mayweather done to deserve 50/50 retire to come back at the right time. I agree with Arum, Pac is the draw and he dererves the biggest share against anyone.

[Joeyzagz]

He protected Cotto against Mayweather too when they were in the same stable. Arum is bad for boxing.
