Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao: Floyd Mayweather Demands More Money

[PeterinMI]

Again who gives a *** do you want the fight or not???

You are an idiot. By pissing in the wind team Pac is making this fight unlikely. This has nothing to do with May. You are a true dumb a55 aren't you?

manny ure ppv numbers arent good ure best ppv was against cotto n hes well known u werent floyd should get more money

[IMDAZED]

Yea it was, after the fight broke up and May signed Mosley did he say it wasnt gonna be a 50/50 split

A lot of times that sort of deflection is done to save face. Like Mosley first announcing he was going to make $15m for the Mayweather bout. Yeah...perhaps after PPV but we all know he was only guaranteed $6-7m. Mayweather and Pacquiao agreed to an equal purse guarantee, not PPV split.

Anyway, I think this fight happens. I think they'll settle somewhere between 0-14 days for the cutoff but I suspect Mayweather may get the bigger guarantee this time around.

which didnt mean **** to all the ppl that were bettin on floyd, making him a 4 to 1 favorite or the to 70% that picked floyd to win on the polls

Manny has been a betting favorite against all his opponents
after De La Hoya. People gave Mosley a bigger shot at beating
or even knocking out Floyd than they did with Hatton, Cotto and
Clottey having a chance at beating or KO'N Pacquiao. 50/50
sounds good to me but I am not Floyd and this is business.
All I know is that team Pac has been showing their hand at
every and any given moment while team Mayweather have
been adament about keeping things hush. The ones who
talk the most are usually the ones blowing the most smoke.
I am just tired of this bull**** and want to see the fight.

People... This is called media posturing. Trying to shift the blame of a failed negotiation away from it's right owner. Team Pacquiao is simply trying to play the blame game and win the PR Battle it is now losing.

Floyd is fully jsutified in ASKING for a bigger percentage, the number don't lie, he is the bigger PPV draw.. period no debate!!! he is the lineal welterweight champion.. no debate there. The only thing debatable is who is top P4P. IF he does come to the table looking for a few percentages points more he has a strong case.

The word ducking is mentioned often in reference to Floyd regarding Pacquiao, but I ask the questions

Who is negotiating in Media when they said they wouldn't?
Who has a date already selected for a fight that has not even been negotiated yet?
Who has a site reserved ?
Who has an opponent selected already?
Who has no interest in the fight and who doesn't?

Sorry that Pac is trying and giving in to some of Floyds demands, what a BASTERD he is.....your being ******

One fighter is agreeing to the other fighters demands, and the other fighter keeps bringing in new demands

Floyd and his money.. Fight for legacy already!

PAC GOES CLOSER to the 14-DAY cutoff deal... FLOYD goes backward from it... PAC fairly and rationally proposes a 50-50 split deal... FLOYD backs off from the deal... WHAT THE HELL ARE PEOPLE GONNA THINK ABOUT YOU NOW FLOYD???

I hope he's walking in his hallway and trips over his Segway.

Yea its business but he cant make that HUGE money if the fight isnt made

This is just pure greed from him or hes ducking pac

[jbpanama]

Wasn't Baldomir the legit champ also? I don't think anybody thought he had any chance at "ALL" of beating Floyd. Being champ doesn't give you the automatic favorite as you stated. Baldomir was a good strong durable journey - kinda like Glen Johnson.
I Give Floyd some props for fighting Shane but I really think that Shane was over-trained.
I can't discount Floyd camp knowing this when the fight date was agreed upon. Shane was gassed after 3. I think Shane would have agreed to anything to get this fight. I look at the timing rather than Shane's age being the biggest factor in that fight.
