Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr: "Pacquiao Better Step His PPV Game Up"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has told WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to step his pay-per-view game up if he wants to come to the negotiating table.

This is true. If Pacquiao doesn't step up his draw, he may end up not having a claim to the higher percentage of the purse.

serious whats with this talking and not enough boxing.

If Floyd/Pac negotations do open up again and Floyd/Mosley does more than 2M PPV, then Pac has to get 40%. He has no choice. The numbers are there and they never lie. 40% will still be more than he made in any other fight so it's still not too bad. 40% of $250 million (or even more because the hype will be even bigger) is still a lot.

Pac drew 700K with a nobody....his PPV numbers are just fine. Him and floyd could break 3 million, maybe 4 million. Pac and Floyd are by far the most entertaining on 24/7.......

in saying that......Pac and arum are delusional if they think they can demand 50% if this fight does > 2 million PPV buys.....even more delusional are Pac fans who think demanding greater than 50% with numbers like that behind you is a "duck"....plain ignorance of what purse split negotiations are based on.
