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

[gqjohnb]

Pac made over 22 Million against Cotto, over 15 million against Clottey.

He's making huge money with or without Mayweather. His next fight will probably be even more. If he can make 15 million against a guy like Clottey then any half-decent draw will net him more than 20M

People keep talking about the Marquez numbers but Pac is a much bigger draw today than he was back then.

Yeah your right they both can make good money fighting other people.

Well yeah...if he can find an opponent that'll fight him for $1 million, sure he can make 15 million.

Cotto made 12-13 million against Pac. More than what Mosley is making if we go by what Mayweather says

[gqjohnb]

I couldn't agree more. There's way too much talking coming from these guys. Get in the ring already!

....the fights on saturday do you propose an oath of silence the week going into the fight?

There aren't anymore cottos left its just floyd and pac provided floyd wins of course.

50/50 is fair. neither of them are getting **** without each other.

[Lorily]

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.

Good to read the bolded from you check hook, very respectable.
IMO, what I see being a problem in future negotiations more than the split is:

1) Bob Arum
2) Bob Arum
3) Bob Arum
4) After it was confirmed that the fight negotiations had failed, didn't FMJ say that if they ever tryed to negotiate a future fight that he would no longer accept any cut off date - that he would require it be random all the way up to the final day of the fight?

I think #4 will still be the biggest sticky point when it comes to negotiations, and egos of course (from both camps). AND Bob Arum...

Honestly...I really don't think Arum was responsible for the fight falling through earlier this year... Pac just didn't want the random tests or didn't want them 24 before the fight or watever. I don't think Arum convinced him to turn down the fight.

Floyd/Pac vs Justine Bieber in New Zealand will break any record out there..

JOKE

[steeluv]

Floyd is fighting against one a name and two an american, how can he expect someone who fights against Clottey an african to have such great PPV numbers. Floyd uses money as an excuse not to fight as per usual.
