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

[Kilrain]

Lol...his rules? Pac doesn't deserve half, he hasn't done anything to make this fight.

Manny would not and could not reach this level without his promoter repeatedly using Floyd's name year after year, fight after fight, with no real intentions of matching the two. You may not want to admit it but the real reason Pac took his career to the next level is because he and his promoter started saying Floyd was scared to fight.

You're right, it had nothing to do with brutalizing Cotto, wiping the floor with Margarito and turning Hatton into a pancake in 2 rounds. Jeez, you clowns need to get off Mayweather's nuts.

THey are going to lose this big payday for being pricks.

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?

Pacquiao is stupid when it comes to issues like this.

And the reason is he thinks he doesn't deserve it. He always feels responsible for entertaining the crowd. He gets booed when nothing is happening in the ring. How can you entertain the crowd when most of your opponents show up just to survive?

Mayweather doesn't give a crap about the paying public.

Its obvious Manny is ducking, all he has to do is accept a smaller percentage, take the extra tests, accept the date Floyd wants and the venue Floyd chose.

Mayweather has been equally. Yes equally instrumental in preventing this fight from happening.

Agreed. He tell Pac no on 50-50, but he can make more money fighting him than he ever has before. Same holds true for him at 50-50, he's going to make more money than ever before.

ok its seems clear this fight is never happening... Im officially giving up... Lets talk about Kirkland-Molina, Berto-Ortiz II or fighters that actually matter.

I'm honestly not even mad about this, Floyd offered him 50/50 out the gate and 14 day cut off after Pac turned it down he said that was dead he would have to go all the way up to the fight and no more 50/50...Why r people acting like this is news? Pac even said he was willing to take 70/30 deal so why r people acting butthurt?

Haha, what next, fight Floyd one-armed? Use 20 oz gloves? Give away the first six rounds?

So did Arum agree to May 5th? For Pac and Mayweather to be negotiating May 5th must mean Arum backed off his insistance on late May. If this is the case, the fight does seem closer to being made. If they are agreeing to May 5th, seems like they can find a compromise. Maybe 55-45. Or 50-50 since Pac appears to be accepting May 5th.

Here we go. He said 50/50 was okay on the phone call now he's balking. This should let everyone know for sure that Floyd is officially ducking Pacquiao. There need be no more discussion. This was a 50/50 fight from jump street and every body knows it. If I was Manny I wouldn't take a cent less than 50/50. F that.
