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

[switchsouthpaw]

Uhh...who said it didn't make financial sense? What I said (for the THIRD TIME), is that you have never heard of Mayweather having financial issues when negotiating a fight up until Pacquiao. Not with Hatton; not with Oscar; not with anyone. The same cannot be said for Team Pacquiao.

Because with Hatton and ODLH (for the last time) he didn't have any leverage to demand more money, which is why he didn't have financial issues in previous negotiations. It's only now that he has this type of leverage, but it's overblown (Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely) and that is my "main" point. I wouldn't have an issue with something like a 52/48 split because there isn't that much of a disparity between their numbers, but it appears to me as if he is throwing up roadblocks simply to throw his weight around.

What do you mean with Hatton he didn't have the leverage to demand more money? You do realize that Floyd got a significantly higher payday than Ricky did...right?

I lived there while I was in college and I met Raekwon at a chinese take out, that means something...not sure what exactly but I'll get back to you.

Yea right. Get back to me when you figure that one out. Matter fact let me know when your in the city again and I'll take you right to Meth and Red if you can stand the smell of really good weed. Not my thang so I don't hang often.

Park Hill area, Staten Island. Take me to see Nas in Queens and you got a deal. Sugar I would take you up on the weed thing, but I've never tried a drug in my life besides a redline energy drink and bottled water.

Yes I know he made more money than Ricky, because Ricky brought more money to the table, due to the television distribution rights he had in Europe, with anyone else at the time he wouldn't have made that kind of money and that's my point, who else besides Ricky would bring him international exposure...the kind of exposure that makes economic sense.

So he made more money than Ricky because Ricky brought in more money.

Got it.

Right of course it's over your head. Ricky brought value to the table because of international television distribution rights (know what that is?), they both stood to make that much more facing each other, than facing anyone else. Doesn't matter who made more, because in context Ricky made more than he ever had prior and that's the point.

Listen dude. The bottom line is this: Floyd Mayweather has never had an issue negotiating finances for a fight up until the Pacquiao fight. The same cannot be said for Manny, who had issues with both Oscar and Hatton. The same applied to Floyd but there was no problem. And telling me what Hatton brought to the table is irrelevant because he brought the same things to the table against Manny as well. End of story.

You're playing a verbal shell game. What you describe as a financial "problem", was resolved in a matter of weeks. That's being reasonable; not taking a leap year to decide what you want to do or not do, that is the definition of a "problem", as it relates to this particular negotiation it appears to me as if predefined rules aren't met...Floyd walks or if they are met, he creates another rule.

I describe it as a financial problem because Manny backed out of the fight. He did the same with Oscar...twice. When have you heard Floyd have financial issues prior to this? Again...end of story.
