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

[gwildcat77]

Other sites have PAC listed p4p no. 1

WHY SHOULD FLOYD GET MORE MONEY.. the following WEBSITES still have PAC rated as No. 1 POUND 4 POUND after the FLOYD & MOSLEY fight.. boxing.about.com, proboxing-fans.com, ring magazine, secondsout.com, ringtv.com. The other sites are not up to date but still lists PAC on top.

Mosley isn't marketable at all, he has no personality aside from being affable. What was the pricing structure for those seats? Because in order to make money on the event, the live gate had to be sold out.

I also got a chance to attend a few Tyson fights with my dad as a kid in Atlantic City, the tickets were expensive and the heavyweight division was also seen as the glamor division. In terms of how a site or Casinos price tickets is much different now, because Casinos can put up the biggest site fee because of the ******** money spent around these PPV events.

Nowadays, PPV is where the majority of the revenue for these events is made and PPV is where Mayweather shines. As another gentlemen pointed out, Mayweather-Mosley did better than any PPV Pac has ever had. I think Mayweather would be cool with a lesser guarantee if he could get a bigger slice of the PPV pie, but Pac isn't going for that either.

What's your point, Mayweather is #1 on Yahoo, **********, Boxrec, Theboxinghistorian, and this very site we're talking on. And since when did P4P ratings decide who gets the bigger share of the purse? Mayweather and Pac were both #1 P4P when they fought de la Hoya and only got 30% of the purse. So once again, your point is not only inaccurate, but completely irrelevant.

Making bigger demands...that is expected from KFC. KFC is expected to make more unimaginable road blocks just to prevent the fight with Manny Pacquiao to happen. He did it last time and the fight did not happen. So what is new. Now that Manny Pacquiao agreed to KFC's 14 day cut off for the infamous blood test, the public is now expecting the Mayweather group to make more impossible requirements so the ugly duckling can run away from the Pacman.
This is bad news.

How is requesting additional drug testing an unimaginable roadblock? Floyd got his last fight done, no problem.

If a fight with Manny Pacquiao is back on the table, Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants more money than previously offered at the start of the year. Earlier this year Mayweather agreed to a 50-50 split on the money. This second time around the former five division champion wants a bigger slice of the pie. If Mayweather wants more than 50-50, Pacquiao's lawyer and business manager have said the fight "will never happen." [Click Here To Read More]

It was obvious that this was gonna happen.

I stated two days ago, in two different posts, that whilst everyone was fretting about the cutoff date for OST's, they were all missing the point..... and that the money would be the determining factor as to whether this fight gets made. Of course Mayweather would want more money.

I agree with you, except for the money part.

The time / circumstances have changed nothing, except for the money.

Arum and Pac needed to take that 50% when it was sitting on the table.

They will not get 50% now.

The money is now the most likely sticking point to getting this fight made.

What sort of a businessman turns down a reasonable offer, then turns up four months later expecting the same offer to be still sitting on the table.

I have never heard of such a thing happening.

Mayweather was crazy to accept 50% during the earlier negotiations, and he was even crazier to accept the 10 million overweight clause. In hindsight, it almost sounds as if he was desperate to get that fight made.

Arum and Pac needed to take that 50% while it was sitting on the table.

They will not get 50% now.

pac has definately become the worst boxer to deal with in boxing. only days ago these guys decide on keeping the negotiations behind closed doors and there was not a day since then that pac or his team wasnt running their modafkin mouth to d media. whats worse is that its not official and they run to the media and spread what they heard? i hate pac. mayweather is an easy dude to dislike because of his flamboyant style but pac is a classless @sshole. but this is not worse then weight draining his opponents though.. i hope this is true..i hope floyd sticks to his guns...60/40 and 0 days to cheat instead of 14. those are my conditions, since your trainer saids you will knock me out and i have no legs take the fight, its the most you have ever made. if not shut up and go fight margarito where you will make about 10 mil less then you would for floyd..plain and simple.

I agree, there are 4 major issues on the table--OST, weight penalties, cut-off dates and purse split, something has to give on both sides.

status has nothing to do with the money split.....it's all about who puts bums in seats and makes ppl part with money....somthing Joe Frazier never understood in his rematch with Ali.......
