Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Rejects Bigger Revenue Split For Mayweather

[check hook]

loyd should call Cotto and tell him he wants to fight.....then let's see where Manny runs??

[ragingvic]

you might want to double check your facts ronnie, pac not agreeing to the 14day cutoff is why the fight fell through not despite of it.

and here i thought Manny didn't fight for money--->as his fans claim. Fancy that a "prize" fighter who doesn't fight for money

Of course money is a big part of why he fights, but the difference between him and PBF is that it isn't the sole reason why he fights. I don't know how many times PBF has claimed that he only fights for "checks" while the other guy has tried to please not only his fans, but boxing fans in general, whenever he fights.

I agree with the 40/40 and the winner gets the the extra 20% , that fair and a good incentive to win !Floyd is just acting foolish again , thinking the boxing world revolves around him ?? really want to see this fight happen , like many people !

ROFL @ *****s agreeing or hating on Manny for rejecting the money. When it's this amount involved, Fraud asking for alot more is robbery. Manny deserves more in everyone's mind based on his style and excitement he's brought. Only *****s agree with Fraud because it makes him look better once again when this is clearly another duck strategy by Fraud because it seems like the blood issue was taken care of, and now he needs a new way of getting out. Well, he's FOUND IT! *****.

Neither of them deserve the bigger split.If both are confident their going to win 40-40 with the winner taking the remaining 20

I think this is a good idea.

I think 40-40-20 may be a bit too much for them to agree on. I think 45-45-10, with the extra 10% going to the winner is a bit more likely. Either way, I like the idea of the winner getting the slightly larger share, it just adds another incentive for both fighters.

Probably is a tad bit to big but thats what i mean like if a fighter really does think he is going to win well then this is a way off showing he really means business

Sounds about right...............he doesn't want the fight and never has.....otherwise it would have happened in March.

when I am the number one athlete in the sport and holding the welterweight belt.. I wouldn't take 40 percent either. think about it without having your head up your ass.

how is Oscar De La Hoya not a good leak when he is in charge of a few of the people negotiating the fight on Mayweather's side?
