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

[hitking]

In a nutshell your saying Floyd should get the Lions share? Cause 50-50 purse split is fair enough considering their both the top two fighters out there..

Pacs name is bigger Worldwide and the only reason Floyd name gets mentioned overseas is because its in the same sentence as Pacquiaos?

What you're failing to realize is that the majority of the revenue for these mega events come from PPV sales. And in PPV sales, Mayweather clearly dominates Pacquaio. I'm sure Mayweather would gladly fight for a 50/50 guarantee if he were gonna recieve the lion's share of the PPV revenue, but as you know, Team Pacquaio isn't going for that. Team Pacquaio wants everything split down the middle and when it comes to what is gonna generate the majority of the revenue, that's just simply not a good business deal on Mayweather's side.

I thought Arum said something new. LOL @ "agreed". Did Floyd make an offer we don't know about recently?

[jlgonzalez07]

OH GOD!!!! Please make this fight happen. Vegas is waiting for me!!!!

[Pacquiao'd]

Not sure if you got the memo but Pac has agreed to the test. If Floyd wants the fight, seriously, if he wants the fight he would of signed the damn contract the day Pac announced he will do the test... BUT HE HASNT and the last words outta his mouth is "im taking a year or two off"

WHAT TEST? WHAT TERMS? the 14 days thats not even on the table to be agreed to? how can you agree to something that doesnt exist?

wow you guys are slow

really, really?

how can pac agreed to terms that were taken off the table?

when you understand this question, you will understand why your post should exist

And now, according to you, that offer is off the table.. So again who is making the fight difficult?

I know its hard for you to understand that Floyd is making the fight difficult, but I understand common sense doesnt apply to your thick skull..

Floyd hasn't said anything with regards to negotiation. The only people talking are the ones who promised they wouldn't. With that in mind, listening to these same people talk now, I think it's obvious who made things difficult when there were actual negotiations taking place.

Floyd won't generate record PPV numbers by himself, neither will Pacquiao.

THE FIGHT, itself will. Both are on even terms as far status goes.

It's not like "The World Awaits" where one guy was a Part-time fighter with a big name and the other an active P4P King. This thing is even in P4P, and in PPV terms, it's the # 1 guy vs #2 guy, there are no other PPV attractions out there.

Asking for anything more than 50/50 is stubborn pride, and at the end of the day, with that viewpoint, Floyd gets paid ZILCH....whether you think he should get 60% or 80%.


Sidenote: Look where RJJ's and B-Hop's pride got them. One guy argued for 50/50, the other guy argued for "60/40 I kick yo ass". And each guys respective fans defended their stance to no end.

What happend, 10 years later both a shell of their former self, fought trying to cash in Social-Security and Roy got paid ZERO, I repeat zero for losing a boring decision to Hopkins.
