Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Rejects Bigger Revenue Split For Mayweather

[trainhard_187]

None of them deserve more the 50 percent of the revenue. NONE

The worlds wants to see Floyd vs. Pacman both fighters so neither should get a higher cut regardless..

50-50 is fair.

*******? How so?

Marquez beat both of them.. but when other posters try to spin things, I do the same.

You think marquez looked as good at 135 as he did down at 130?

JMM is one of my fav's and he ain't son Manny. You crazy.. LOL!

Just clearing up a misconception.....

Marquez is a career featherweight, that's 126lb, so lightweight is actually 9 lbs heavier. Only the second Pac fight was at super-featherweight.

Marquez looked like a very small lightweight against both Casa and Diaz, it was a combination of skill and heart that pulled him through.

And, I think that he probably won both Pac fights

He has no chance against Manny at 140+.

I think the woman in your sig deserves a 70-30 split, which I would like to negotiate personally.

Why did Oscar's PPV numbers with Floyd surpass ALL of his previous numbers by a country mile? Did Floyd not have anything to do with this? This is a serious question.

Why did this supposedly highly entertaining guy (Hatton) not post better PPV numbers when he fought another highly entertaining guy (Pac) who was also post Hoya? This is another serious question.

Howcome a guy who is post Hoya, and BEAT Hoya TWICE, cant get on PPV against Margarito but does 1.45 mill against Floyd? You have an explanation for that one?

Ill be waiting for those explanations.

there wont be any explanations. only justifications and excuses. well mostly excuses and failed logic

[letsgobrady]

I understand that, but there isn't this big disparity in overall numbers as everyone likes to project. One fighter is the best in his country (US) and isn't interesting to mainstream media, while the other is an international sports figure (non-american) being interviewed by major American media companies that is amazing in and of itself. You think 60 minutes would do a feature on Floyd? If so what's that gonna be like? Mike Wallace riding around on a segway together with Floyd and Ellerbe.

where are u from? because if u were from america u know there is to much goin on in this country yeah pacquiao may be talked anout now but like i said it's because what he has done recently he is the flavor of the month so to speak and even with that most poeple over here i'm pretty sure didn't see the 60 min with manny nor the jimmy kimmel live show unless they saw it on youtube or somethin even when manny was about to fight clottey no one was talkin about it and most didn't even know when it was they were more concerned with floyd so you keep talkin about manny doin this and that yet he still is not as popular as floyd mayweather it just seems like that because your on boxing scene but when you walk around new york ,georgia,florida,jersy and ohio more people that know who floy is whether they hate him or love him he is more known, alot of people who know pacquiao know him because he beat oscar or because they want him to beat mayweather so some of manny's recognition comes from the fact that some people don't like floyd and want to see him lose and espn and larry merchant and those people make it seem like manny is the man to **** wit floyd so at the end of the day it just shows that everyone who knows who manny pacquiao is knows who floyd mayweather is not everybody that knows floyd mayweather knows who pacquiao is

Really no one was talking about it? 50,000 in attendance and 700k PPV sold in U.S households and nobody knew about it?

I'm not debating those points as they are correct, and they were also correct when they first negotiated terms in regards to the 50-50 split back in 2009, so following that train of thought, why the sudden shift away from the 50-50 split now?

Everything you stated remains true NOW as it did THEN, yet Floyd initially accepted the 50-50 split...WHY? Not everything is as black and white as it seems. Pac's popularity can be measured in many ways than that of just PPV numbers, there is a value that he brings to an event if matched correctly, had he faced Mosley I'm sure the numbers would have been comparable.

Manny Pacquiao: I am not concerned about the money from a Mayweather fight… I just want to give exciting fights!”
By FightFan.com Staff (15-Feb-2010)

Courtesy of the Krystal Hart Show, see what Manny Pacquiao has to say about his upcoming fight with Joshua Clottey and the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fallout!

Manny Pacquiao: “I’m not concerned about the Money (that would have come in a fight vs. Mayweather). I’m concerned about what I can give in terms of my performance to the people who love boxing. My concern isn’t only with myself, but with the people who buy tickets looking for a good fight. I don’t want to disappoint people with a boring fight. I feel you need to entertain the people who watch your fights.”

“I think with what I’ve done in boxing over the last few years I’m happy that I’ve given the fans a good and exciting stretch of fights. I promise you that in my next fight against Clottey I will give a good fight and make everyone happy. Without God I’m not here and that’s important to me. I can’t promise I’ll win the fight but I will give my best to honour my country and boxing fans everywhere.”

I take your point Xcaret, and your quote did come straight from the horses mouth, so Manny has to be responsible for the things that he says.....

but your comment is only correct, or even accurate, IF the negotiation breaks down because Manny wanted more money.

That has not happened as yet.

In my opinion Mayweather wants 55%, which he will get, so he started off asking for 60%, which is a standard approach. Team's Pacquiao's refusal of the first (unrealistic) offer..... is also a standard approach..... if they are heading toward a 55-45 split.

We just need to wait bro, things are unfolding nicely IMO.

sure buddy

go look at all the boxingscene threads in the beginning of march and the end of february most threads are about shane vs floyd and wasn't the tickets sold at a discount price?

jro, you know what hes saying. hes saying that it wasnt a fight that people cared for. so the numbers were really low meaning lack of interest.

and yes, 700k is bad coming from 1.25. and 50k seats filled is easy to do when tickets avg around $100

so 700k and 50k seats isnt impressive
