Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Has Agreed, Mayweather's Move is Next

[Frank Ducketts]

If Floyd does 50-50, then he is a fool because had PAc had higher ppv numbers than Floyd, he'd be asking for 60-40 Pac.

[IMDAZED]

Considering Pac has taken all these test previously (shown on 24/7 and other videos) and passed everyone while also subjecting to take a test right after his fights, doent that merit him as not being on PED's?

None of those tests were for PEDs except whatever the commission doles out. He's never taken a blood test for PEDs; never had a test done unnanounced.

In which he has also agreed to the previous 14day which is now gone, doesnt that show he is trying to make the fight happen..?

It doesn't. You can't agree to what doesn't exist. No one is negotiating with him now anyway so who is he talking to? All this shows is that from December to January, he wasted everyone's time.

You think hes making more money than with anyone other than pacquiao... ill stop here. Team mayweather said themselves that this fight is the next logical move due to the MONEY involved

Well, that's your choice, but its simple mathematics. The guy just made $40M with someone else. $40M is the number that was being tossed aroudn that he and Pac were gonna make to fight each other. So why can't he make another $40M doing similar numbers with a Williams or Martinez as he did with Mosley? $40M is $40M. And the $40M he would make getting the lion's share of the purse would be a fairer deal according to his market value than the $40M he would get going 50/50 with Pac. Pac's just gonna have to understand that he's the lesser draw, swollow his pride, and take a shorter end of the purse. If not, there probably won't be an event.

that analogy doesn't work because the situation hasn't changed.

floyd has to realize that he isn't making that much money with anyone else. even if he only get 50 %, that's more than with anyone else.

Situations always changes, the general situation is the same in that it is the biggest fight but the situations surround both guys are different.

Floyd just made an ass load with Mosley he probably thinks he can make money with anyone. He probably has to take on someone that atleast looks threatening (Paul Williams maybe) but if people think he can lose and fighting someone with the physical tools of Williams would probably get peoples attention (just think about them standing next to each other wouldn't casual fans really give Williams a great chances just because of that?)

Manny getting 47.5% to 45% would be making by far the largest purse of his career.

100,000,000=52,500,000+47,500,000 that would be roughly 10% more for Floyd and judging by past revenue that seems about right and with both those ammounts I really do not feel sorry for what either guy had to accept~

some of these guys rather quibble about a percentage splits and PED testing than actually see the fight. they are floyd fans more than boxing fans.

i know right? and they still dont have a reason 4 it, quack quack

[HARLEM AL]

You see him making more money fighting anyone other than manny? If so, i'll just stop here. Team mayweather said themselves that this fight is the next logical move due to the MONEY involved

No he want but he will make more paper then manny then whoever he fights. It might take him 2 or 3 more to do it but it can be done.

I don't even know why I'm going back and forth. Roach and Pac want that paper. This fight will happen 55/45 split with 14 day testing.

[Jimbo16031992]

Surely Pacquiao should want to make sure he too is fiighting clean guys.

[IMDAZED]

yah w/e monkey go climb a tree

Hehehe. Can't help yourself can you, flub? Why oh why are you so insecure? Tell me, what happened? I want you to feel better about yourself.

Please. Floyd's fans want to see the fight just like Pac fans lol... @#!$@#! are you talking about lol... If anyone joined the sport o be a fan of a boxer and not boxing, it's the *******s.

[trainhard_187]

so why go on and on about that?? why not live in the present and accept the 14 days what reason does floyd have to move from 14 to 0?? got any?

And thats exactly what I question, what merits the reason Floyd should now go from 14 to 0 Cut off all of a sudden..

Sure I can see why he would ask for a higher cut since the Mosely fight did well but like you said what merits the 14day cut off from now goin to no cut off?

Did Pac win over the election raise an even more certainty that Pac is on PED's..

Thats all I asked with these Floyd debaters.. Cause to me Floyd just keeps throwing in road blocks..
