So Manny Pacquiao doesn't fight for money? He fights for legacy and for his fans?

That certainly hasn't been the case in the past. In the past, it's been Pacquiao - not his team - asking for more. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. He is a businessman first and foremost and should seek to secure the best deal for himself. I think the point the TS is trying to make is that, Floyd is lambasted for doing so while Manny, even though he is the same way, has a completely opposite image. But this is how the media influences perception.

thankyou..............i ddn't have the words..........

Exactly. His fans put him on this moral pedestal, but he's no different than Mayweather.

Both of them are no different from any "PRIZE" fighter. I certainly don't begrudge Pac for fighting Cotto over SSM. It was a business decision that made all the sense in the world. Ditto Hatton and ODLH. Yet Floyd can't make the same decision without having ducked every other fighter in the division.

Say hello to The Real Money, Money Pacquiao!!! He doesn't have to pay the IRS either. BALLLLLIIINNNNN!

All the pro fighters fight for money. Some may care more about their legacy and the fans, than others, but all of them fight for money.

Why the hell would you get punched in the face for a living, in a sport with a pretty high percentage of fighters who will suffer health consequences but have no 401k plan, NOT care a lot about money?

Most of these fighters have families you know.

Pacquiao/Hatton almost fell apart because of the 50/50 purse split. It appeared off and then it was back on when Pacquiao got a 52/48 split.

Ancient history though. Hard to remember the bygone era of early 2009.

50/50


Or floyd is ducking again..

[| THE KING |]

Who doesn't fight for money? Of course Manny fights for money. Difference is, he also fights for the fans and his legacy. Keep .. Who gives a **** how much money either gets. Just get the fight signed. Some gay ass **** going on here...

[STRUGG]

whoever said that................watches too much ****e..........you can actually do all..................

[Kingstan315]

So Manny is fighting for money because he wants a 50/50 share?

Great Logic.

If he fights for legacy and to entertain fans. money should not be a big hold up in making the fight. after all he'll still get paid and we fight fans will be entertained....

[OpaiSoma]

Wrong.

Arum had to come out of his own pocket to make the Pacquiao-Hatton fight happen because Pacquiao demanded more money for the fight.

Also, Pacquiao thought that a 70-30 split wasn't good enough to fight Oscar De La Hoya despite it being the biggest payday to date of his life. Pacquiao wanted a 60-40 split???
