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

[iloveboxing2]

just great!

Pac's has no problem with loyd getting a higher money percentage but they have to fight on May 26th so Manny can offset his loss by building a temporary venue but Floyd refuses. Floyd wouldn't agree to make the fight happen at 50/50 split on May 5th. Floyd's the one ducking Pacman! What a ****ing genuis, saying NO by saying YES! This fight will never happen, Floyd is just using Packy to stay out of jail. This idiot is no different from most of his ******ed fans. Floyd, stop being B!tch and just fight Matinez! Pac/Floyd fight is DEAD!

Manny Pacquiao: "He's the one who has to say yes. The reason is because he talks to a lot of people. He has a lot of representatives. If he takes the fight, he can make $50-$60 million. That's how much he can make."

Please someone tell me how Pacquiao has a right to this money? Manny wake up get away from arum and you too can make that much.

U guys need to understand the difference of 50/50 fight purse and a 50/50 revenue for fight...if Mayweather has done the work in his career to have reps generate extra cash for him...ala Ortiz(purse 25 mil, take 40 mil and some change), why in the hell does he have to share this with Pacquiao, if he's done all the work?

this guy still doesn't get it. mayweather is not the crowd drawer. it's his opponents. fans who see his fights want to see him lose. fans are finally realizing this. look at his last fight. it didn't even make 700k in ppv sales.

mayweather is a boring boxer. he's not the kind of boxer you'll want your friends to see. it's no wonder why companies don't ask him to endorse their products. wake up man.

You don't get it...Mayweather has fans, and those who are not, he makes you hate him so much you pay to see him lose...he took this persona in the DLH fight "I will be the villian"....he's not a crowd drawer?? His PPV numbers tell a different story

Are you referring to the Pac/Clottey fight? FMJ hasn't had that low of a number since the Judah fight.

What does that link have to with sponsorship money? They (Mayweather) have never once said anything about sponsorship dollars, in regards to the Pac fight. I know Mayweather fans will go to great lengths to come up with the most far left excuses in the book, and are great at stretching the truth, by posting links that have absolutely NOTHING to do with why Mayweather has now suddenly said no again, but c'mon. Manny also has sponsorship dollars, stop making more excuses.

there you go!!!

..totally agree or they can move the fight on May 26 and Jr can get higher percentage. Either or is very reasonable.

At this stage there should be no argument about percentages. 50/50 is good.

There is a UFC PPV on May 26th

Have you heard of Mayweather Promotions??? Ask Manny what it means when Arum says his purse is 10 mil for a fight that's what he's taking home. Where as Mayweather is told 25 mil for you purse, but companies wanting their name on his fights tend to pay those companies ala Mayweather Promotions which generates extra cash.....which is why it went from 25 mil to 40 mil...its not that hard....Manny knows this, which is why he said Mayweather knows alot of guys and can generate 60 mil for himself...smell jealousy?

A true boxing Fan that wants to see this fight happen...

..shouldl have no problem with 50/50 split. Any resistance by any fans here just shows your true character.

[WHY U MAD SON]

Bob Arum's CRONIES created a fake Floyd email address and sent out the phony email.

This will be breaking news tomorrow.
