Is Oscar sure he wasn't 'misquoted' again?

This is why it's really hard to tell if check_hooks is a troll or if he actually has severe autism. I guess we'll never know.

He's gone way beyond being a *******, he's a ******.

what's Pacquiao supposed to say? "no I don't want to fight Mayweather"

this fight won't be make at least for a few more years. Leonard v Hagler took a decade to make. neither guy is going to wreck a good thing. when Mayweather or Pacquiao start taking blows in PPV number then they'll fight each other.

as long as both can draw over a million in PPV buys, why fight each other?

Pac probably fights Marquez, Bradley, Rios and maybe even Gamboa before Arum lets him fight Floyd.

Mayweather is fine without Pacquiao. when he can make 80-20 splits with guys, he makes even more then he'd make with Pacquiao. Mayweather v Pacquiao would have to sell over 3 million to get him the money he's making now.

There's more to it than ppv buys. There is gate, commercial and so on.

They should fill cowboy stadium.

[Ryannn]

In a real world it should be 60/40 mayweather, but doubt roach would agree to that

either way hope the fight happens

of course you think that.

you're a floozy

[chardrnm]

Mayweather and Bob Arum should listen to the boxing fans and make the fight happen. A 50/50 split of the money is fair or it could be 60/40 for the winner or 65/35 if you win by knockout to make it more interesting.

true but it's not going much over 12 million. Cowboys stadium, when the Cowboys play only brings in around 9 million and that's for a sell out.

I know ticket prices will be different so i'll give it 3 or 4 million. in Vegas they can charge a lot more because it's a smaller place.

whatever the case whatever the gate is, is chump change compared to the PPV.

lets say Mayweather fights someone for a 80-20 split. the PPV sells 1.4 at 60$. so Mayweather gets 72 million minus expenses.

if he figths Pac it will be a 50/50 or no fight. they'd have to sell at least 2.5 for Mayweather to make what he's getting now. so why bother with it? when both guys can fight easier fights and get paid.

don't forget the PPV record for boxing is 2.4 million. so the PPV would have to be record breaking for the fighters to make what they make now.

[rey guey]

I'm sure the fight will break the 2.4 million mark but it's not going up to 3.

anything less than 2.5 and they'll both be making less then they do now. the economics are there and that's why it hasn't been made. Both sides are just passing the blame and stalling
