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

[socalrican01]

Mayweather is SCARED!

For all those that cant read between the lines!!! 1. Mayweather is planting the seed to the public, that he will be *****-ING out of another dangerous fight. AND/OR 2. Mayweather is planting the seed of his EXCUSE of why he will be *****-ing out of another dangerous fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao finally agree on something - their fight will never get made under a 50-50 split. Pacquiao will demand a higher percentage of the money, and it seems that Mayweather will also demand more money. Mayweather returns on September 19 to face Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. HBO PPV will televise. According to NY Newsday, Mayweather said Top Rank's Bob Arum is greedy for even thinking about a 50-50 split. [details]

Same as we have heard before really, both want the lions share... I am sure they will negotiate...

Mayweather is without doubt S-T-U-P-I-D or ******ed! Only a ****** ****** would say he's the best, when he avoids dangerous fights and uses purse splits as his reason for *****-ing out of dangerous fights!

**** 50/50 Floyd is a all around better humanbeing he takes 70% and not a cent less.

That's ****ing ******, 50/50 is fair.

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.

Good post...

What everyone seems to be missing is that even if Floyd takes the 50/50 split, he's still gonna have to deal with stipulations that Freddie and Arum will be pulling out of the hat to supposedly make the fight evenly matched.

It ain't only about the money with Arum. Freddie will chime in with catchweights, ring size, and glove brand and size.

If Floyd agrees to 50 percent of the purse, the fight should take place at 147.

At that point, it won't matter what the ring size and glove brand and size should be.

Okay... he aint P4P #1 cause he retired but are you trying to say he isn't skilled or talented, cause if you are... then you no NOTHING about Boxing.

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

Floyd couldnt sell more than 3k tickets 1 month before his july marquez date. HBO pumped 5-6 months of promo into dlh/pbf as opposed to pac/dlh which was supposed to be a mismatch.

If im a bad businessman i guess so are the ny mets for wanting to host a pacman fight, or jerry jones for wanting to host 1 in the new cowboys stadium. Dont recall anyone wanting to host a Floyd fight, but I do recall him failing to sell out in his own hometown and people leaving his fights early LOL.

Pac is the most popular fighter in the world right now BARNONE. He's eclipsed Floyds status. not everything can be measured in ppv numbers. Floyds popular in the states, pac's around the globe. the glove > usa.

Pac's fights were also in a recession.

Dude you compare numbers with common opponents not with seperate opponents

Common opponents sure. But be real and admit that Pac's status today is FAR bigger than it was pre Oscar. It's called developing.

a 20 and a 5 dollar bill adds up to more than two 10's anyday buddy... lmfao

****ty analogy. Things have changed since 2007. Maybe not your intelligence, but other things have. Pac is more popular today than he was in 2007. Pac is more popular today than Floyd will ever be. Think outside the box for a change, or atleast outside your country.

I really hope NO MORE CURRENT FIGHTERS give this idiot any breaks. He's the ****y FRAUD Mayweather (acting like he's some SUPER-powerful-dangerous Champ) ... he brags about being undefeated with hand picked smaller opponents. MR. FRAUD MAYWEATHER Please fight at least one of the tough current welterweights.... please! please! please! please fight Mosely, Williams, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Cintron or Quintana... please prove yourself with a real fighter!

Fraud Mayweather? How old are you? 10?

If you actually took a minute to think, Floyd has fought guys either bigger than him or the same size his entire career... with the exception of a few. Floyd barely outweighs his opponents on fight night, so what the **** are you talking about?

Oh right I know why, cause you dislike him and have no clue what your talking about.
