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

[Horus]

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]

Hey Mark Vester How about you report something new...
this **** is old, like 3 months old... I guess it must be a slow day at work...

This is lowkey flaming.

Check it KID!!!! Forget about what I'm saying about your boy... INSTEAD... let me hear you address why he's avoiding (and in case you try to bail out by saying some weak bull sht let me mention this too) or why he has not fought the likes of: Mosely, Margarito, Cotto, Clottey, Quintana, Cintron, Williams! ... your time to shine kid... talk him up!

He's offered to fight Mosley, and Cotto years ago and they "weren't ready".

He was after bigger purses and bigger accomplishments.

He's returning from a near two year lay-off to fight, not a tomato can, but a live, well known opponent.

After he's done fighting his "tune up", he supposedly will continue fighting
the fighters Schaffer mentioned on the 'Hit List'.

First I will Say Pacquiao has accomplish more than maywether is way higer as a ATG than mayweather.

Now, do to the circumstances, that Pacquiao is the man right now, He deserves the lions share, but not by Much, because even tho Mayweather is not teh draw his Fans and him believes he is, he does bring people whe they think he will get Hurt.

52-48 In favor of pacquiao


8oz Gloves
17x17 RIng

The referee should be Tony Weeks


and the judges should be
Gerry Woth .- Vegas
Nelson Vazquez - PR
Peter Trematerra - FLorida

For real,
Mayweather is overated,I really think dat.Boxin fans are overatin his abilities.
He always cherry picked the easier fights.

He obviously sucks against southpaw(spadafora,Judah,Chop chop rounds show dat).
I 'm one of the rare guy who think Manny can beat him based on the other facts that Manny vs Hatton and Manny vs DLH exposed:
Manny hits harder than Floyd,he's faster,AND has a way higher work rate.

The only great that Floyd has on his record is a past his prime DLH,and Floyd still won by SD.
Manny has a shot DLH too,but also JMM,Barrera and Morales so 4 HOF.

Mayweather is overated and overhyped.
He ducks,talks **** and made pretty boring PPV overhyped events.

Boxin and Manny don't need that fool.His fans are only casuals or biased brothers.

People need to stop living in 2007. Everyone's talking about numbers dont lie and 2007 numbers lets look at 2009 numbers. 2009 numbers show Mayweather cant sell godamn tickets. He's not as popular as he was before. Pac has surpassed him and is now the man in boxing. Pac/Cotto will outsell PBF/JMM and anyone thats unbiased will agree. Who sold more PPVs in 2008? Pac. 2009? Pac.

Get out of 2007.

Floyd did not fight in 08/09.

Pacquiao is the best right now i agree.

But in his 2 years at the top(4 PPVs), fighting PPV attractions like DLH and Hatton, he is still like about 1.2 Mill PPV's short from what Mayweather did in a span of 8 months vs DLH and Hatton.

You say Cotto/Pacquiao will do more than Mayweather/JMM and that unbiased fans would agree, but you're just assuming. What if Marquez/Mayweather does more than Cotto/Pacquiao? What would your post look like then?

Although i agree that Cotto/Pacquiao will do more. But that's the least you can do when you are comparing a mega fight PPV vs a comeback fight that is considered a tune-up and a very predictable fight that most are already saying they are not gonna buy.

If they do anything close to eachother then something went wrong with the big PPV seller, Money Pacquiao. Imho.

I agree with the 2007 part... but there is yet to be proof that Floyd can't sell tickets, just reports that aren't official yet... maybe the reports are right... but until something more concrete comes out we can't just to comclusions. To be fair I don't give a **** as long as it happened... truth is, Boxing would be so much better if they just said 40/40 and the winner gets the extra 20.

I'd add in Jr. WW, I'd like to have seen him fight some other 154lbers but admittedly that's a bit much for him.

JMW kinda hard cause he weight just 148 on fight night, meaning he will be stepping in a division over his fight night weight naturally.

JWW kinda wasn't his fault... he wanted guys but they didn't want him, hence why he jumped to WW... in all fairness, Floyd was a dangerous fighter at JWW and below those years back... that was when he was constantly getting KO's.

just cause he beat a trigger shot Delahoya... and a B-rate white boy... AND he has ducked ... and been acused of ducking... and then goes and retires... not having really made a legit claim as the baddest MOFO on the planet... THATS WHY HE SHOULDNT BE ASKING FOR THE LIONS SHARE... cause he hasnt earned it!

Floyd shouldn't get the lions share, neither should Manny... 50/50 is fair, or 40/40 and the winner gets 20... but Boxing don't work like that it is all about negotiation, they will go in making whatever demands to try to get as much as they possibly can.

Truth is, there is a few reason's a Floyd vs Manny fight is in public demand, and all of those reasons aren't cause of Pacquiao, just saying... 50/50 is fair, but I don't give a ****, doesn't affect me in any way.

Anyway, white boy? What's with the racist ****?!

Good response... Respect!

Was that directed at me, I didn't know... its easy if on the post your replying to click the reply button mate, it quotes it and makes it easier on who your talking to.

If Floyd outsells Pac this year I will be the first to gladly eat crow & say Mayweather deserves the lions share.

Floyd not fighting in 08/09 is my whole point of him not being the same star he was before. He was forgotten kinda quick & the emergence of Pac had a lot to do with it.

Pac also did his fights in a recession. The Hatton fight was very close to Floyds numbers with Hatton, in a recession.

Going forward, the buzz Pac has created worldwide for boxing shows he is the more popular fighter. Ofcourse I think the next fight PPV numbers will show this, and yes it may have to do with which fight is going to be more exciting but at the end of the day it's the fighters that make the fights exciting.

Again, If Pac doesn't outsell Mayweather in their next fight I'll shut up.

When talking about past ppv fights though keep in mind how much marketing was dumped into Oscar/Floyd...it was promoted to be the biggest fight ever. Southwest airlines, hell they had that **** on Tostitos chips and ive never seen that before.
