It matters because it'll cut down a good percentage of the PPV buys.

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?[/QUOTE]

Oh god, please that link HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MAYWEATHER SAYING NO TO 50/50. Pac has bluechip sponsorship behind him as well, the revenue split is not an issue, you posted a link that had nothing to do with this specific negotiation, thinking that it somehow offers Mayweather a reasonable excuse, it doesn't.

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

This will be breaking news tomorrow.

It'll be on Fighthype first thing in the morning watch.

I posted the link to show what his guar. purse was 25 mil, after all said done, he took home extra cash 40 mil

So please tell me where he made the extra 15 mil from? Tell me why Pac himself stated he knows that Mayweather knows people that would help Mayweather generate 50-60 mil if they fight? That's what Pacquiao wants a cut of wake up.....purse and revenue are two different things.

Also is a resonable excuse for us, hell no.......Arum rips off Manny and pockets tons of money off his name, Floyd is his own boss and generates his own Money off his name...sorry Manny doesn't deserve a cent of that, tell Arum to quit screwing Manny and give the guy the cash he's worth.....DLH left, made a killing, Mayweather left and is making a killing....Pacquaio has stayed and is getting robbed

Once again, Floyd uses Manny Pacquiao's name to boost publicity for his next fight against a fighter not named Manny Pacquiao. The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight will never happen if Floyd keeps getting away with this simple tactic to take the money of his ****** sheep.

Pacquiao is taking zero financial risk in putting the fight together, yet he want a equal revenue split....

Roger Federer does not make money off the sales of strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, nor does Derek Jeter’s contract include the Yankees’ TV contract in Asia. Mayweather has devised an altogether different model for marquee athletes.

But, under this model, the expenses are Mayweather expenses, too, including advertising (radio spots, print ads, TV commercials), publicity (press tours, news conferences), sanctioning fees, legal contracts and insurance. For a fight of this magnitude, Schaefer said the expenses would run about $10 million.

First, Mayweather will write himself a check this week in the neighborhood of $25 million. This is similar, in concept, to the guaranteed money that other fighters receive from their promoters, but the check is much larger. Besides Mayweather, only Manny Pacquiao would command that much. What Mayweather earns in addition depends on the success of the event.

If 1.4 million or 1.5 million fans buy the fight — which is expected — Mayweather will make about $40 million, Schaefer said.

For comparison, consider Pacquiao. For his coming November fight, Top Rank has guaranteed $22 million and a percentage of other revenue for a total of $30 million, said Bob Arum, chairman of Top Rank. If the fight is canceled because of a natural disaster, for example, Pacquiao will still make $22 million, whereas Mayweather would stand to lose much of his total earnings.

Because Mayweather has averaged about 1.5 million pay-per-view buys in his last four fights, and because no natural disaster has wiped out any boxing event in recent memory, he considers his risk quite low. Even Arum, Mayweather’s stated nemesis, conceded “there’s no loss, only profit.” He added: “In the end, it may be less than the guarantee, but it’s all profit.”

Arum and others, however, believe that there is value in promotion and that Mayweather would make even more if he ceded total control. Mayweather disagrees, and even says the formula can be duplicated by other fighters — for a fee, of course.

“That’s going to cost you!” he said.

"Apparently Pacquiao's last duck move was to price himself out so he can move on and fight Cotto...disgraceful."
