Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: 50-50 Split is The Breaking Point

[jrosales13]

Can't even believe there are still people who defend Mayweather. He's dumping all these roadblocks and it's Arum's fault. What a ****ed up way to see things.

I guess it's okay to say yes to any term Mayweather dictates because he's the one people are excited to see in the ring.

Pac agrees to OST
Demands Floyd to fight on March or not fight at all
Floyd agrees to fight on March
Pac goes back on his word on the OST and decides he wants a 30 day cutoff.
Floyd gives him a 14 day cutoff.
Pac fights Clottey in March

Floyd reserves May 5th.
Pac can't fight on May 5th because he suffered what has to be the worse cut in the history of the sport.
Floyd gets sentence for January 6th to 3months.
Pac wants JMM on May 5th
Floyd doesn't go to jail and gets an extension till June 1st.
Pac cut opens up again, the stadiums, and blah blah.

How can anyone defend Pac is beyond me.

Whattttttttt!? What did Manny do??

[jrosales13]

Mind explaining how it will be possible? I jut explained that Mayweather will always make more than Pacquiao due to Pacquiao's obligation to give most of his paycheck to his promoter.

How is not possible to have a 50-50 split?

How much they have to pay with that split is irrelevant of them getting the 50/s0 split.

You get a 50/50 split. Floyd gets his half, Pac gets his half. Whoever and how much they have to pay with their HALF of the purse is on them. But, the point is that they start of with HALF of the purse.

my fault, you know what I meant. Good catch.

It's all good, my dude.

If i'm not mistaken pac already said he would take the smaller purse. Sounds like more back-peddling to me.

this....

but besides the fact the Pac stated this..I honestly dont know about this email to ESPN..why would he email ESPN to say that..just doesnt add up at all..
Dan Rafael even questioned it..just seems fishy!

[gwildcat77]

Floyd should explain his reasoning

FLOYD should at least say something like "I should get more than 50 because you (PAC) made 1.45 million PPV buys in your last fight and I (FLOYD) only made 1.25 million PPV buys".

Well if that they mean i understand and it makes sense. I thought they meant Manny wanted to make just as much as Floyd does cause Ellerbie was saying Bob Arum didnt want to make the fight cause the books would be open and Manny would see the comparison how much Floyd was making and realize he was getting robbed.
