Comments Thread For: Mayweather Rejects Pacquiao's 50-50 Proposal For May 5

[LaPistola]

While i think 50/50 is how it should be...why did Manny go on record and say he'd take the smaller purse to fight Floyd?

Manny is a horrible self promoter and a bad business man, example: Gives up % of his purse to golden boy for bad business decisions.
Also will contradict what bob says in attemps be the boss but he knows bob arum has him by the testicles.

good thing about floyd saying NO is now we realize they both are full of S H I T.
Even though Floyd is in the Driver seat And pretty much always wil be untill his sales suck or he loses..It Should be an equal share for obvious reasons

[S IP U IR S xII]

some reason i knew he wasn't going to do 50/50 but PAC should take it he still gonna be ass rich so it shouldn't matter

They should do 40/40 and winner take the remaining 20. Too bad neither fighter is confident enough to tackle something like that.

Isn't that a fact? Why must one be a "*****" if they point that out? If Pacquiao was previously willing to accept less than 50/50, then why is he proposing a 50/50 cut now? You're not an objective fan you're a fanboy.

I see it this way. Pac has gave into every one of Floyd's demands. OSDT, May 5th, Etc... If Floyd prevents this fight from happening because he wants more than a 50% split of the revenue, then it will be a damn shame. They both claim that they have their guarantees right? What's the problem with splitting the ppv and gate revenue 50/50?

I thought Manny agreed to take a smaller purse to make the fight. What happened now?

[dazmorris20]

NO???? Last time i checked it was Manny P2P #1, surely you want this crown???

I honestly belive he's come out with all this bull**** with no intention of fighting him, just another promotion tool for the May 5th date!

What a clown!!!

[djdodat]

So Floyd wants Olympic Style Drug testing, May5th, MGM Grand, etc....Manny agrees to almost everything but only wants 50/50 split and possibly a different date. Floyd won't budge for anything, wants Pac to play by his rules. BS!!!!!!!!!!! Floyd was never serious about this. Bring on Cotto.

[PACsmash]

but how did Manny have his own date in mind??he says thats his promoters job and his promoter was going to make Manny-Jmm 4 on May 5th

dont be a ***** now larry, u're smarter than that. when pac says he'll take less he hasnt even agree on may 5th to fight floyd. so why would he agree on taking less when he wont even agree on may 5th? when he said he'll take less he wasnt planning on fighting floyd on may 5th. since floyd has been pushing and pressuring team pac that the date cant be change so pac finally folds and agree to floyd's date so why would he agree to take less now then?? if floyd wants the bigger split its gonna have to be on a different date. now let me ask u why cant it be 50/50 if pac does indeed agree to may 5th?

Since when?

He did. But Floyd's assistant is saying that there isn't any problem split and that ESPN doesn't know what they're talking about. We will soon see what's what.

[hoya4prez]

Good. **** Pacquiao. He's done absolutely NOTHING to get this fight made. Floyd's been working his azz off to get it done.

Like it or not, Pac doesn't deserve half after all of this BS.

In a perfect world.....
