Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs Clottey Lands 700,000 Pay-Per-View Buys

[Larrysbird]

Right now I don't think Pacs would want any part of Floyd unless it's 50/50. And yep I Agree...

50/50% of something is better than 60/40% of nothing.

He's wealth and legacy are already intact and secured and in fact contemplating retirement if he wins the election.

This is what happens when you fight Cotto 1.2 million buys. And then go fight the guy who just lost to Cotto after you destroyed Cotto=700,000 buys don't worry they'll try and make it look good by saying Manny did it all by himself lol. That's just a cover up. He wasn't in the ring by himself all night now was he? alright then. And didn't Arum say that Pacquiao-Clottey would sell as much as Pacquiao-Cotto? yeah he did. Pacquiao couldn't even crack a million. Well one thing is for sure. He can forget about a 50-50 split with Mayweather that is out the window. And he has noone to blame but himself cause he quickly signed to fight Clottey to duck Mayweather!!

Best Post...couldn't agree with you more.

I was just stating what I heard, not getting involved in this *****/******* thing....I like boxing in general and will watch any fights that are on.


This place is ridiculous, it's like some posters here feel they have some intimate connection or obligation to these boxers and will defend them till death- to each his own.

Says the guy who's always against Floyd. I have seen many great unbiased posters on this site, and you're not one of them. Dominicano Soy, and IMDAZED, ect are few of the most unbiased posters on this board.

If that it is the case, PBF will get 100% of nothing vs Pacman because there will never be a fight.

Pretty Boy Floyd has been and will continue to do well without Pacquiao. Manny on the other hand he needs Floyd in the worst way. And like I said if he is really as humble as he puts himself out to be. He'll take the split Floyd gives him. How can a guy that gives Clottey a 90/10 split cry about gettin 30-40% from the real cash cow? especially after may 1st when mayweather-mosley get at least the 2nd for most ppv buys. And then when Mayweather is in the #1 and #2 slot how can Pac argue with that?

Pacquiao should be happy with 40% when he faces Mayweather. And that's Mayweather being generous. He'll be kicking himself in a few years for not taking the damned test when it was 50-50. Now, no way in hell Mayweather will give him 50% again, he'd have to be ****** and we all know he isn't.
Pacquiao had the chance for 50%, taking the bloodtest. He refused it. Now he'll have to take the test (ruling update which will force his cheating ass to retire, hope i'm wrong) and take 40%, STFU and be happy about it. Chances are Pacquiao is facing Margarito next....

PBF will get 100% of nothing if he insist on getting a bigger share vs Pacman. Pacman won't even let him control the negotiation at 50/50.

Lmao, I nearly choke mate, Clottey was paid $1 million he isnt getting anything from the PPV..Guaranteed 3.25M? Lol...Clottey?? Lol ..

I think he is getting a share of the PPV. I could recall an article that does not say any percentage but it says that he would get a piece of the PPV above 300K.

Although Pacman is a humble man, his ego is larger than the whole Mayweather clan.

I suppose you might mean Lt. Aldo Ray??

his cut starts at 300k and estimates put him somewhere between 2.5 and 3.1 for his final take I have been told

If you honestly believe Pac will settle for anything less than 50/50 you are a complete idiot. I think Pac would like to fight the winner of Floyd Mosley and definitely will if Mosley wins. If Floyd wants to be the best p4p fighter and best fighter of his time he better beat Mosley and then sign a 50/50 split fight with Pac. I believe Floyd right now is the biggest ppv draw (has to beat Mosley) but there is no debate who the bigger star is. Pac is the p4p king, 7 division world champ, fighter of the decade, NIKE sponsored and pride of Philippines.

I just hope Mosley does his job and knocks Floyd the **** out so we don't have to have this debate and we get to watch Pac Mosley.
