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

[ELPacman]

Floyd's right, it won't happen 50-50. Pacquiao without a doubt deserves the larger share. I'd say 65-35 for Pacquiao. He's proven himself time and time over and most importantly gives the people who pay their hard earned money for tickets or PPV something worth remembering. Floyd is good at making people who bought tickets get up and leave, or wish they never bought the PPV. No way is the boring guy gonna get the dough just because he comes back. This is his way of pricing himself out. Floyd is a chicken.

i expect this from Floyd, but not from Manny.
Floyd has massive PPV numbers, and has achieved more buys with the same two fighters than Manny.

you serious? pac pulled this same thing with the hatton fight that almost didnt happen cause he wanted too much money...the way i see it they are both amazing fighters and both want more why not just do a 50-50 split...seriously they'll both make rediculous amounts of money off the ppv alone...they both think they're the greatest so why not just suck it up split it down the middle and proe who the greatest is...and why talk about it now anyway they both have good fighters in front of them before they can even think about fighting eachother.

this fight aint happening...we'll get PBF-Hatton 2 at Wembley instead

Damn, That would be as big a tragedy as the rumor about a Hopkins-Trinidad 2 ..........

I'm not sure how one compares Mayweather's career thus far, to that of Pac. I don't put much stock into have a zero in the loss column--as Mayweather loves to point out, it's all relative. Who has he fought lately?

Sometimes in life you work hard just to protect that 0, and in the end you realize didn't leave the best of yourself out on the floor, or ring in this instance. I think May will come to that realization someday. He doesn't have the fire to put it all on the line, instead he uses his mouth to offset the injustices of the world brought down on him by so called "haters".

Contrarily, it appears to me that Pac pushes himself and seeks out challenges, win or lose his legend grows each time he steps into the ring. I think Mayweather is the best pure talent in boxing but that doesn't equate to being the best. Talent and greatness are not synonymous.

For those who adamantly share man-love for Money May, who would you like to see him face off with? Instead of angrily defending him, who would you match him with--without talking about dollars? He seems to get a pass based on his talent alone and that is far from an objective observation. The best fighters in the world need to stake there claim in the ring, not in a board room where they can price/negotiate themselves out of fights.

True, I agree that 50/50 is the bet thing, but we know Floyd's ego is an issue and I did not expect this from Pac. Maybe it is Roach's influence.

ya could be true i used to like roach but im startin to dislike him he's gettin to ****y with how pac has been preforming lately (which is amazing)

I think we should let the Mayweather-Marquez and the Pacquiao-Cotto (or Mosley maybe) fights play out before we determine which guy deserves the bigger cut of the money. I don't think a 50/50 split is unfair if a Pac-Mayweather fight goes down because of Pacquiao's bigger fan base and Mayweather's stronger PPV numbers.
