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

[IMDAZED]

No I'm asking you to support you own examples. I asked you in totality what the event grossed, not just PPV, as an event with sponsorship dollars, distribution rights, then you will understand why I said Ricky brought more money to the table, Floyd making more than Hatton is irrelevant, what is relevant is that made more fighting than he stood to make with anyone else, negotiations become easier all of a sudden.

What do you mean by "Ricky brought more money to the table?"

if Ricky brought more money to the table, then why didn't he get paid more than Floyd?

And finally...FOR THE LAST TIME...


There is NO precedent for Floyd having issues over finances when negotiating with an opponent. Whereas Manny has had this issue several times...for WHATEVER reason. Take from that what you will.

***** Rules...

If ***** were in control of how much each FIGHTER MAKES off this fight.. he would limit their earning to 100,000 dollars each FIGHTER instead of the MILLIONS they're suppose to make...

If it's so simple then why don't you have the answer? I can tell you that in PPV revenue alone, it grossed $47million. I suppose that's relevant right?

The fact is, you are raising all sorts of questions to avoid the fact that...


wait for it...

The value of the fight increasing doesn't equate to one guy getting paid more than the other, it means the value of the "split" is worth more to each party, than it would be if they fought anyone else!!!

A bigger pie (value) equals a bigger slice of the pie for each guy, regardless who the split favors. Splitting a 100 mill as an example is a lot different than splitting 40....value.

[boojee]

all these ridiculous drug test demands and wanting more money is a solid proof that FLoyd doesn't want to fight Pacquiao.

Floyd is scared of Pacquiao

Right. But what determines who gets the bigger split?

Oh...and btw...

Predetermined value, which leads us back to my first contention. Floyd sold more PPV's than Manny had prior to their first negotiations, why did he accept 50/50 then? Nothing has changed that I'm aware of right?

Thats really irrelevant to be honest but facts are facts and the fact is Pacquiao had a history of walking away from fights because he is a difficult person to negotate a fight with oppose to Mayweather..case in point De la hoya and Hatton two common opponents.

Let's slow down. We're gonna nail this down to the ground. What do you mean by predetermined value?
