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

[acidity]

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]

who want to watch a runner fighting a boxer?

The fight that should/could have been made... can't blame MMA for gaining tracks. Oh well. The fans get screwed again.

50-50 will be the split if it happens. Arum and Haymon will get along just fine. There is to much money for a fight this big at the moment. Floyd and Pac both know that there isn't any other fight out there that the fans want to see. Without Hoya I doubt they get over a mill in sales. Maybe fights with Cotto and Mosley can for each fighter. But with Pac vs Floyd, there is no doubt in my mind that this fight can sell close to 2 mill if promoted right.

It may happen. Then we will see Arum and Haymon make a fight with Pavlik vs Williams. That's what Top Rank and GBP did when the made peace.

So Floyd is just talking. Al Haymon can talk some sense to him.

Well you knew this would happen. Anyone whom thought that either fight would accept less then 50% was silly.

This fight will never happen. Cotto/Mayweather won't happen niether. The only possible fight that will happen will be Mosley/Mayweather Mosley will accept less money.....but will Mayweather want to give hi ma shot at him is the question. Outside of these 3 fights.....Mayweather might aswell retire again.

[Addition]

I still say Mayweather whoops Pacmans ass.

I agree....

[Bhopreign]

Humble thyself Manny.

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

50/50 is fair at this moment.

Remember Floyd... You just came out of retirement and postponed a facking fight. Relax.. Take the 50/50 and be happy. Give us the fight the fans want.... (Ooh yea.. Floyd doesn't care about his fans... Only the money)
