Mayweather eyes bigger purse than Pacman

[Carpe Diem]

Lets not for get the stunt he pulled with JMM... That caused team Pac to implement that stipulation... Yeah, I remember that...wiggle room I believe...he wanted a little wiggle room...in terms of the weight. After what he did to JMM, I can't blame Manny for asking for a stiff penalty. Jr has shown he and his team can be shady mother ***ers...that stunt he pulled against JMM (IMO) is unacceptable, and if he can do that to JMM, then he can do that to Pac as well. I think asking for a stiff penalty if he comes over the limit is a legit demand (especially after the stunt he pulled with JMM)...

So if the penalty that Manny asked for is outrages then so is the testing (to which there's no proof or history Of Manny being dirty to warrent such a test) that Floyd is asking for. Only thing is Manny has legit point in asking for that penalty after the fact that Floyd came in over the weight limit with his fight against Marquez... He's man that couldn't keep his word, and man that goes back on his word once; can easly go back on it twice.

I don't care how you look it at, it's still a ridiculous demand. GTFO with that ****, how the **** is asking for a test that Floyd would subject himself to it is more ridiculous than asking $10M for every weight over 147? (**If you can afford it**) Would you rather pay $10M per pound or take a test that your opponent is willing to take as well?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is using the pay-per-view sales of his recent fight against Shane Mosley as leverage as he seeks a bigger share of the purse against Manny Pacquiao.

Team Pacquiao said yesterday that there were reports the undefeated American has demanded a bigger share of the purse for the showdown being planned for Nov. 13.

“We just got word that it seems to be that way,” said Pacquiao’s lawyer, Franklin Gacal, yesterday, just hours after Pacquiao was discharged from the hospital after a second bout with acid reflux.

“But we will never agree to that,” said Gacal, who added that Mayweather now believes he deserves a bigger share than Pacquiao based on the pay-per-view sales of their most recent fights.

Mayweather and Mosley sold 1.4 million PPV hits last May 1 while Pacquiao did around 700,000 in his fight with Joshua Clottey last March.

However, Gacal said the fight with Clottey should not be used as a gauge of Pacquiao’s drawing power, but the one he had against Miguel Cotto late last year, a 12-round contest that sold 1.25 million hits.

“It’s the Cotto fight they should look at and not the Clottey fight. And it’s pretty even, so we’re sticking to the fifty-fifty percent split between Manny and Floyd if they ever fight,” said Gacal.

The lawyer did not confirm if it was Bob Arum, in the US quietly trying to make the superfight happen, who told them that Mayweather is now demanding for a bigger purse.

But Pacquiao’s business manager, Eric Pineda, said word indeed reached the Pacquiao camp yesterday that Mayweather now wants a bigger share of the purse. In case of a 50-50 sharing, the two fighters can earn around $40 million each.

“Yes, we were told that Floyd now wants a bigger share. And if that’s the case, we now feel that he really doesn’t want to fight Manny because Floyd knows we will never agree on that,” said Pineda.

Apparently, Pacquiao was not happy with the news because it could mean that the fight will never take place.

Pacquiao said a few days ago he was giving in to Mayweather’s demand to have blood tests taken 14 days before the fight, or even closer than that as long as it’s not on the day of the fight itself.

But Pacquiao’s willingness to do more blood tests were met by reports that Mayweather, as of February, had renewed his demand. From 14 days, he said he wants it done “all the way to the fight.”

in all fairness to floyd, he has the right to demand for a bigger share since he outsold pac in terms on ppv. but we all know that team pac wont agree on 60-40 either

They don't have to. Floyd definitely deserved the bigger split if it ever comes down to how they should split it..But like i've said in my previous posts, if both guys wants this fight to happen, they're gonna have to put their egos aside and lose something to make it happen..They both wants the bigger upper hand, and the fight won't happen if one guy thinks he can get everything his way.

But they do.

Whether it is a 14 day cut off or none at all, if Pac agrees, the main problem will still be the split of the purse. I don't see this fight happening.

Only from certian point of view. What does it matter what I think or what i would do? As I do not add into the equation...but if you must know... IF I WHERE PAC AN SOMEONE ACCUSED ME OF BEING ON PED'S AND THEN TRIED TO PLOW ME INTO THE ***ING GROUND THE WAY THE MAYWEATHERS TRIED TO DO TO PAC...ME PERSONALLY I WOULD HAVE SAVED MYSELF A LOT OF HEADACHES AN TOLD YOU TO *** OFF!!! I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY TIME TRYING TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE WITH STICK THE WAY PAC DID, AND STILL GOT NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE IN THE END ANYWAYS.

Because you a *****. a man than is willing to defend floyds actions no matter how ridiculous it is. You want this figth to happen then why dont you act like you do. Do you really think that 60-40 and osts up to the fight will get the fight done. I dont see no compromise, all i see is floyd getting his way.

Hey boxing fan all mighty! Name one thing Manny has done that you didn't agree with.

Good to hear..Ye I been good too thanks..Well to be honest I don't care anymore about all of this lol because it's no point of creating threads and arguing here because this fight might never happen..but I like ur idea with the 20%..but you know how it is..both sides gonna make it complicated as usual..there's one fight I wanna see more than pac/floyd and that is either klitschko beating up haye haha
