Mayweather - " Manny Pacquiao will not get 50/50"

[| THE KING |]

Why is this dude so scared to make that "easy money"?

All he has to do is climb in the ring, do his "easy work", and collect his cash.

Then, just do one more fight to make up the difference.


Should be no problem since hes the "face of the sport" and "boxings cash cow".


So, whats the problem again?

Because he believes Manny is indestructible and extraordinary. He also believes he will make 200 million with or without pacquiao. Don't believe me? That's his quote below..

“Manny Pacquiao was just an ordinary fighter and once he got over 25, 26, he became extraordinary. That doesn’t happen in the sport of boxing so it has to be something. I started off good in my career and all the way through my career I’ve been dominating. I started off good and became great but you don't start off ordinary and become extraordinary. If Manny Pacquiao has nothing to hide, I never saw a man who didn't want to take a $25 million dollar drug test.”

“The thing is, what people don’t know about the sport of boxing, in a fighter’s career, a fighter starts off good and he be good all the way to end of his career or a fighter starts off good and goes downhill towards the end of his career. A fighter doesn’t start off like Manny Pacquiao, just ordinary, and then once he gets over the age of 25, he becomes an extraordinary fighter.”

“How can you be indestructible with three losses and he's been knocked out twice? The new Pacquiao? The one who don't want to take the test? All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. I don't need Manny Pacquiao. For him to get his biggest payday he needs me. With or without Pacquiao I will make $200 million easy, with or without him”

Stop it. Separate hype from business. To hype the fight floyd's M.O. is to diss his opponent. On a business side floyd and his team know he has higher tv ratings, more ppv sales, higher live gate. Hence, when they talk initial guaranteed money during the purse split floyd and his team pull the numbers out and tell Bob and Manny to come correct.

Truth is its not the same as January when they were negotiating the March fight.

Some Floyd fans really just utter BS without a bat of an eyelash not thinkin' it'll make them look like a dumbass!

$40 mil Mosley
$25 mil JMM

Honestly, if floyd fights ODH 2, Khan in England, then Cotto in MSG he may come close.

Johnny Chingas trolling like always.

Say he does fight those fighters.


ODH2 = 20 mil
Khan = 30 mil
Cotto = 20 mil

=135 mil. after taxes/fees/expense.. not close to 200 mil. IMO of course.

Ask people on the street if they think this is blatant ducking and they will agree with you.

the only people that will try to justify this with their flawed logic should be seen all over this thread, saying that floyd makes more money and therefore deserves a 60-40

they will trace history as far back as pac as an uknown foreigner and compae his PPV numbers then to floyd's numbers in his entire career fighting HBO ppv fights. Pacquiao started getting big in 08 with DLH and got more recognition in 08 and floyd took up to the occasion and used the HATTON/PAC fight to get some publicity for himself to market himself as potential pacquiao opponent.

In a sense, he used pacquiao's rising popularity to exert some value for himself. Once he loses, people aint watching him fight anymore. from an objective view his fights are boring to the casual spectator and his value diminishes to virtually little if he ever loses. Pacquiao fights however, will be more of a value to HBO since people will still pay to see the kid fight why? simple. his style is simply PPV material. having a loss against morales did not diminish his value, he still fought great fighters of elite caliber.

floyd tried to make himself relevant by using pacquiao or riding in the prospect as pacquiao's potential opponent when he came out of retirement. whether directly or indirectly, pacquiao's name is mentioned whenever he fought and that brings me to my final point. without pacquiao, theres no way hes making that 40 mill. i can argue that pac made more money than floyd since floyd came out of retirement. the numbers and facts are out there.

people just need to stop trying to duck for this guy and just make this damn fight happen. 50/50 is what it should be

the problem is, the average person on the street doesn't follow the sport as closely as many ppl here. they go off 3rd and 4th hand information, and formulate their opinions that way.

ppl who watch the sport, and not just one fighter, know what the deal is, and can read between the lines.....we know who killed the fight the first time, and then the other guy comes out and states any future negotiaions won't under the same terms.....then the party who killed the fight the first time, comes back months later, ready to accept the deal they rejected the first time. then the same party says, "mum is the word for all negotiation terms," yet every week you see that same group leaking info to the media.

pay attention.

i'm not saying 60-40 is what floyd should get, but being that he stated he didn't want 50-50 nearly 5 months ago, and being that he indeed does better numbers, i don't understand how dudes bash the man for conducting his business in a way that has proved to be highly successful for him. **** ODLH never split **** 50/50 with anybody.....

I don't ever argue with the numbers in my history here but that is one thing that's irrefutable, and the PPVs show reality that Floyd is good standin' alone. So is Pacquiao.

But the only other thing standing in both is themselves. And no one can make that amount triple without each other!

That's why with all of the generated **** the world experienced with all these hold-ups, I could just imagine what'll happen in Pac retires and the fight not happening will the effect be for Floyd. Coz both of 'em divas held it up so much, the first one to budge out is luckier not to experience the backlash of all these hyped up ****!

[sicko]

he shouldn't get 50/50, he had his chance to get 50/50 but he turned it down because he didn't want to take a blood test

I think 55/45 is fair! but 60/40 I don't know about that, I would understand if Arum don't accept that

I think you underestimate the numbers. If he pulled in $40 mil total for mosley, I can't see him making less for those fights than he did Mosley.
