Mayweather-Pacquiao Has To Be Made, Says Schaefer

[Jiddu Dali]

The odd thing about the posts on this site is that I never see anyone writing anything about Pacquaio having an ego or being difficult in negotiations. I guess the people on this site think Pacquaio is the most humble, perfect person and can do no wrong.

For the haters who don't know, the Pac/Hatton fight almost never happened because of Pacquaio's unjustified demands. It happened because Arum decided to give Pac an extra $1 million from his own pocket. The Cotto fight almost never happened because Pac was insisting that Cotto come down to 143. Cotto refused and was prepared to walk away when Pac relented. Does this sound like a guy who is easy to deal with?

these guys got their heads so far up Pac's ass they can read his thoughts

What???

"Pac doesn't fight better fighters. He simply fights more competitive fights because Mayweather is a far superior fighter. The JMM fight was no fluke and weight had nothing to do with the fact that JMM couldn't land a punch."

This statement did not make any sense whatsoever. If the weight was such a non-factor in the way JMM performed, then why did floyd not fight him at 144? I think that is why there is always high drama about weights because it can affect the fighters and the outcome of a fight.

People keep saying Floyd is difficult to negotiate with but keep forgetting
when Zab Judah lost to Carlos Baldomir, him and Floyd already was
schedule to fight so once Judah lost the fight almost didn't happen
but Floyd and Zab people changed the contract a lil, Zab got less
and the fight happen as smooth as that. Then there is Oscar De La Hoya
who made Floyd wear the 10oz gloves, come up in weight and had to
fiht in the ring Oscar picked and Floyd said cool! Anything to make the
fight and boom! it happened. Ricky Hatton took the highest percentage
and Floyd said fine, the fight happened. I think Pacquiao has been the
most difficult with his negotiations as someone on here has pointed out.
Oscar, Hatton and Cotto were all dificult for the most part. I think Floyd
has earned his right to be a lil difficult in negotiating with Pacquiao because
PPV business wise Floyd>Pac. I have a feeling that this past fight with
Pac/Cotto didn't even do more than JMM/Floyd because of that weak
24/7 they did. People think that marketing and promotion don't play
a big part in selling a product but guess what, it does. Floyd may not
be fan friendly but his PPV buys trumps Pac and I think that will be the
case this week. Lets wait and see.

i like that idea of sharing. but i wouldnt include the decisions.

because the judges will play a big factor in that. case in point fighting in texas. i know it will be held in las vegas. but i dont want to include the judges on having power in the share.

lets begin with
50-50 equal share.

and if someone is KO'd or TKO'd
60-40 : lions share KO/TKO winner.

at least in this case both of them will be working hard to get the lion share. and it will be a war.

and a rematch clause of 60-40 to the winner, if they decided to fight again.

Beleive me that I thought about that but then again none of the sides are willing to fight for a 50/50 split, that why I came up with a 60/40 to the winner by UD and lowered it to 55/45 by SD. The judge factor can come into play, sad but true.

I agree with you and even wish it could come down to 50/50 but what motivated me to post those ideas was precisely the fact that 50/50 is a number that both camps have said the won't accept.

Your are correct and that's why Floyd didn't do the catchweight with JMM
to give him an advantage because he is a gym workout freak and he knows
every lil thing counts.

Floyd should tell Pac "I'll take 50/50 ut you have to fight at 147" and then
see what Roach, Arum and Pac does.

Agreed and that will put the ball on on Pacman's court and if they deny the opinion's on who is not willing to fight might change, however do you think that even at 147 PBF will accept to fight for 50/50????

[yingyang]

floydrunner wont take 50/50. It would take an act of God in order for this
fight to happen.

I'd say Pacman fight Sugar shane at 145 lbs first
and then fight Floydrunner.

And to those fans saying Floyd is in differnt league than Pacman... Please!!!
floydrunner doesnt wanna fight the top 3 welter weight boxer. Pacman just
fought the best welter weight miguel cotto and took all the shot that cotto
unload.

[samy786]

i think the best would be a 60 40 split,60 to the winner nd 40 to the loser

[!! Shawn]

50/50 or something like 52/28 53/47 but thats probably the most he will get

Are you ******? You think Floyd should get more money than Manny? Manny is the clear A side of the equation at this point.

55-45 in Manny's favor is being generous to Floyd.
