Mayweather demands absurd - Arum

[The Gambler1981]

I sincerely tried to understand what you were saying, but I completely failed.


You would rather deal with greedy people?


I would rather deal with someone who has LEGACY on their mind rather than Money.. because then they are more willing to make the fight happen, because the fight itself is more important than the money split.

I would rather deal with greedy people everyday of the week, they are much easier to deal wioth (greed is very easy to understand).

"Some people just like to see the world burn" someone that values legacy to me is much harder to deal with because their aims would not coinside with the business side of the sport, making their career much harder to manage properly.

I negoiate with people all the time, greed is what I want to see in someones eyes, not principle (if I see that I know I have my work cut out for me).

We're talking about Floyd Mayweather here, if he loses to Marquez, he'll still be demanding 60-40.

lol dat sound like something floyd would do

[madsweeney]

That's a ridiculous statement. Floyd has proven to draw bigger numbers against common opponents and will do the same against Marquez. I think 50/50 would be fair though just to get the fight done.

If this first week of PBF vs JMM ticket sales are any indicator...that may not be true anymore.

I negotiate with business people as well.

Your reasoning is: They are much easier to deal with.
Suppose I still don't get it.

Someone who is greedy isn't thinking is this worth it to my legacy, they are just thinking I want to **** someone out of their money as much as possible, hence making it extremely difficult for the other side to come to terms with them, because their demands are not reasonable aka greedy.

By Pac NOT being greedy, and instead valuing his career and legacy more than his money, he will be more keen on making the fight happen for the sake of history rather than NOT making it happen because he didnt get the exact percentage he wants.

end all this crap straight away, make it winner takes all

That would leave too much room for corruption,the judges and the ref would be bribed,threatened on a bigger scale

Goddamn prima donnas. I expect this kind of **** from Floyd, but Manny and his handlers are disappointing me.

I disagree, first of all Manny is greedy (he wants more and more he does not seem satisfied with what he has) maybe not the way Floyd is but that is still greed, do not talk like Manny is a saint.

About the rest of what you say if that is what you think ok, but that is not how I view things.

You view greed as a bad thing, I view greed as a good thing so really where do we have to go from this difference of opinion. Call me Gordon Gecko if you want~

[THE REED]

I mean, if you view greed as a "good" thing...we have no where to go.... I dont feel like going 8 pages again on another ******ed topic lol.

We would not come to an accord on this matter either because on this our views are very different (unlike our other argument in the end). It would most likely be longer then 8 pages, because I would not concede my view of the world or would change it at all. It is cool though because we do not need to share the same world view.

Lets kill all the guessing by pointing out that PBF left 20 mil on the table against a guy he KNEW he could beat(remember he only fights those he knows he can beat) in a rematch against dlh. So if his demands are not met then pacq can fight jmm. Oh, wait, pbf just demolished him on ppv months ago! The mayweather camp has been around for awhile. So they know the game and know their value/perceived value. PBF has options and pacq doesn't. Real simple.
