    If Pacquiao agrees to less than 50%, will you respect him?

    In December, Manny Pacquiao was offered 14 day cutoff, and a 50/50 purse split. MP walked away from that deal.

    We've all heard the rumours that Floyd now wants a higher purse split. There are also rumours and insider information leaking that the fight is close to being done at a 55/45 split in Floyd's favour.

    Did Manny make a mistake in judgment? Or did he lose credibility by walking away from the original 14 day/ 50-50 offer?
    54
    Yes. Manny realizes Floyd is the bigger draw, and Pac doesn't deserve an equal cut.
    70.37%
    38
    No. I will lose respect for Manny for allowing Floyd to bully him in negotiations.
    29.63%

    If Pac agreed to 1% I wouldn't care. WTF does that mean to the fans?

      no to all. Floyd is not Mannys boss

      Its fair to also say floyd turned down the same fight but with a 18 day window (mediation).


      Pac has now decided to put his fans first and make the fight happen, its mayweather who has lost credibility, everyone knows deep down he is scared and I have no doubt mayweather will make a new excuse not to fight manny now that manny agreed to his silly original demand

        If you're not one of the fans that happen to feel invested in that, then fine. But it's obvious from all the YT comments, Examiner comments, forum comments, etc that many fans do care.

          No fans should care period. Nobody should care unless you're on the team. Unless you getting a piece of the money.

          Would you care if Floyd took less than 50%? If so why are you getting any part of the cut?

          Fans should care about seeing the fight period. No matter how it gets done.

            No, j-ro. YOU don't care. But you don't get to tell fans what they should and should not care about. Fans are human who have different motivations and interests. I thought you were smarter than to expect (or dictate) for fans to be monolithic.

            You are becoming increasingly full of hot air. Try to become grounded again.


            ...and , of course, why would you comment on a topic you don't care about?

              Why should fans care?

              My favorite fighter of all time is Tito. I only know how much money Tito got for the Oscar fight. And, that is cuz right after the fight he asked Oscar if he was worth the 10mil. I don't know how much the split was for that fight and I don't care. I don't know and care how much money or the split was for the rest of his fights. And, I have had convo's with other Tito fans who don't know and don't care.

              Because, a fan should not care. They should just want to see the fight no matter how it gets made. Would you lose respect for Floyd if he took less than 50%? If so why/

                There are a group of fans who have linked their fighter with nationalistic and economic pride. Are you dis*****g that?

                Again, you (or I0 don't get to tell people what they should or should not care about.

                Tito was my favourite fighter as well. I was not wounded when he made less than Oscar. My favourite fighter of the past decade is Casamayor. Not exactly an economic juggernaut.
