Mayweather Jr: "Pacquiao Fight Won't Happen At 50-50"

[TredKiller]

this is gonna be the story of our
boxing generation, big great fights,
that never happen due to money.

Based on this Mayweather doesnt want the fight. He's happy making 15 mill vs. blown up lightweights or guys with less bargaining power why fight a live guy like pac? He's a money fighter after all, that's his primary concern it's no secret.

Just watch the buys for jmm/pbf and pac/cotto and it'll show you just how irrelevant ppv number are from 2+ years ago. once pac outsells floyds next fight floyd can take 40% or leave it. Pac wont need him, and he'll provide us with good fights regardless.

Dude like I said, Floyd is my favorite....

There is NO WAY IN HELL he deserves more than 50%....

He hasnt fought in 2 years, hasnt done **** for boxing, hasnt done **** but act like a **** and flaunt money around... and did nothing but bring a nlack eye to boxing...

Pac has fought and brought in tons and tons of fans..... beat an old Oscar (although the public doesnt see it like that) and demolished Hatton... The KO was marketing for itself.... It was EVERWHERE.. Rap sites, ESPN, Fox Sports... Every where...

Look I am not saying that Floyd isnt as good, or as marketable... But the fact is he hasnt done **** for 2 years....

Pacquiao is more relevant than Floyd RIGHT NOW.... You cant argue that....

Funny how its 2 years but when people bring up that Marquez is a comeback fight then its he's only been gone a year and a half. Manny just barely did more with Oscar than Mayorga did, if you cant sell with Oscar who can you sell with? Men lie, women lie...numbers don't. It's really as simple as that.

Glad to hear this post from a diehard Floyd fan. I love Floyd in the ring and not for one second would deny his skills but outside the ring thats another discussion.

fkn gayweather my grandma would knock his lazy punk ass out. actually she would break his ribs... lmfaoooooo

[fightingfigs]

How about nooooooo, Scott?

Floyd is gonna use that as an out to many upcoming fights.

I mean there arent that many fights he can hide with, after marquez he has to face Cotto Mosley or Pacquiao

[UnDeniable]

everyone should worry about it once the pbf-jmm and pac-cotto fights are done.

no point talking about it now.

tua i understand but **** like this is annoying

Boxing has more articles and new about splits than about action and fights

[RingDynasty]

But yourself in a business owner's shoes. Which guy going forward is going to bring you the most money? Floyd who hasn't fought in 2 years and contradicts himself left right n center. Or Pacman who is now the face of boxing and created more buzz than there's been in a while? A guy who comes to fight every fight and gives customers their moneys worth?

If you choose Floyd you'd make a ****ty businessman.

**** history. Floyd aint fought in 2 years. Stack up the buys between pbf/jmm and pac/cotto and then we'll see who deserves the bigger piece of the pie.

All I know is any Pacman fight would have sold more than 3k tickets with a month to go until the fight.

YOU would make a bad businessmen...

MORE PEOPLE WOULD PAY TO SEE FLOYD LOSE THAN WOULD PAY TO SEE PAC WIN!!

Floyd brings controversy and drama.... which SELLS BIG... ask HBO they started 24/7 off of Floyd's entire demeanor and attitude.
....the most interesting part of this is that he sells huge without a passionate fanbase.

By passionate I mean that he doesn't have the "die-hard's" that Pacman has and still sells twice as much more.

honestly Floyd should get anywhere from 60-65% based on how much money any of his fights will generate... Pac vs DLH made crumbs.... Pac vs Hatton did decent but still not as much as Floyd's last 2 fights...

Think about this... They both currently have the same 2 opponents as their last respective fights (DLH, Hatton)... and believe me Pac didn't make 1/3 in his 2 fights of what Floyd did in HIS 2

Dude you compare numbers with common opponents not with seperate opponents

And on this note thread should be ended. Blatant truth, Floyd knows controversy sells and has built an empire on other people's hate towards him.
