If Mayweather Doesn't Budge On 60/40 Should Pacquiao Accept The Deal Anyway?

[PAKYO]

I can't believe you guys are voting no, especially Pac's fans. If he IS going to beat Mayweather why not fight him for millions of dollars and having that huge name on his record? 40% will still be a huge amount.

You gotta be kidding!

Floyd needs a lesson to learn here, a boxing lesson and he needs to pay that lesson from Pac.

Then the more reason that floyd should get less of the purse here!

So why would you want floyd to have a bigger share or an even share? Simply illogical...

Floyd doesn't deserve even a 40 how much more a 50/50.

No, Mayweather didn't deserve the lion's share against Oscar, Oscar was simply the much bigger draw at the time. I'm saying "SPLIT" has nothing to do with what a boxer has accomplished.

When Mayweather was the number 1 P4P, he had to get the much shorter cut against Oscar. The split has zero to do with who has done more in the sport, ZERO.

This is what some people dont understand and know in boxing, You can beat ten cotto's and it wouldnt affect how or who deserve the lionshare of the money.

I'm surprised that I actaully have to debate that. It's insane.

[boojee]

So what's the deal here PBF wants 60/40? if so, me and many other people are right that Mayweather wants none of Manny.

As far as who the bigger and more marketable star is, there's a reason why Nike is marketing Pacquiao along with Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Rafael Nadal and why Floyd Mayweather just has to settle for accepting free clothes from Reebok. Pacquiao's style and his story is more compelling to watch and follow than Mayweather bragging about how rich he is.

That's not to hate on Floyd, who's a superstar in the emerging hip hop/urban market and he is a legitimate mainstream draw. But it's hard to dismiss Pacquiao's star power when he's showing up on billboards in Manhattan and Hollywood and Mayweather is nowhere to be seen.

50/50 is fair, and it will get it done.

[mathed]

Let's say that Mayweather doesn't budge from the 60/40 demands, should Pacquiao accept the deal anyway because of what the fight could do for his legacy? Even with a 60/40 cut it could still very well turn out to be the highest purse he earned from a fight.

He should fight Mosley instead. Mayweather won't fight Clottey or Margs, he might fight Cotto now though but Cotto should turn him down. Money should be boycotted into fighting Saul Alvarez so people can truly see him for what he is....

[Levcon8686]

Quite simply, no. Mayweather, regardless of how big and famous he thinks he is, isn't in a position to make demands over Pacquiao, be it money, gloves, or anything else. The sooner he realizes, the better.

Manny should fight Mosley, the guy Floyd says is a drug cheat and therefore won't fight.

Pacquiao doesn't need Mayweather, it's the other way round. End of story.

You're using your boxing head, not your business head. In a perfect world Manny should get the larger share, but like Floyd says 'the numbers don't lie' and he does have a point whether we like it or not.

It's incredible that people don't realize how the split is done.

Manny has bridged the gap and has become a lot more popular in the last year, but sorry to break it to you, he's still not as well known as Floyd. Mayweather is constantly doing interviews/on talk shows etc so 'nowhere to be seen' is a complete exaggeration.
