Comments Thread For: Mayweather Confirms No 50-50: 'Pacquiao Wants More?'

Very deep cover. ****** Floyd with his idiotic statements brought them back.

Remember when no one saw them for three days after the marquez fight and then they finally showed back up stating, "you have to watch the fight in slow motion to know manny won".

50/50 is a fair split, its time 2 put or shut up!!!

OSDT's, and after calling Manny a punk, Team Pacquiao crawled up their own arse and responded with 5 silly excuses, each of which are laughable, including this gem.....

To the Filipino media... " making the fight is more important than money "

To the American media... " we cannot fight on May 5th because we need to build a new stadium in order to maximize the revenue "

Now we are waiting to see if Mayweather is an idiot, or if he publicly states that he will agree to 50/50 just to get the fight made if Team Pacquiao will agree to May 5th.

Shall we change the subject and talk about something else ?

I don't now how you had ran your line of thinking..superficially, yeah you're right, this is idiotic! but if you think a little bit deeper, then you'll know why these statements came up!

As we all know, Arum is a clever businessman, or shall we say, greed businessman (after all, this is business) that's why he sticked for at least 50/50 sharing to Floyd-Pac mega fight. However, Pac who appeareed in disgust of Floyd's continuosy ducking him, stated that he will accept fight for Floyd even for a lesser share just to make this fight happen. Arum, i believe did not agree to this Pac statement and he wanted Pac to retract to what he said, hence he devised for a new negotiation leverage. Here's the new stadium excuse, came up of which Arum will agree for Pac lesser stake provided, they would fight in the new stadium that is currently build upon its completion that falls around at least in the first or second week of June, but he knew that most-likely, Floyd will disagree. In this case, Pac statement of taking a lesser stake will not be happened!

Now that Floyd disagree, then back to the original fair sharing, Pac camp would be the one to concede to Floyd's term of staging fight on May 5, provided, the share should be 50/50! So, when Pac demanded for 50/50 to Floyd by telephone for May 5 date, Arum has no comment because he have no problem actually for May 5! Now, Floyd argument of Pac lesser stake is dead, because he did not agree to Pac terms! Now that Pac agreed to Floyd terms on May 5, but for 50/50 sharing, then the ball is really on Floyd side!

UFC does win bonuses that are proprietary on the fighters win, don't see the legal opposition on giving a fighter more money as a bonus.

Especially in NV where ******** is legal...

Mayweather is a good business man Pacquiao said he would take a lesser cut to make it happen Mayweather is waiting to see if Pacquiao is going to budge and take less like he said he agreed to 50/50 in the past so the saga continues

Easier to continue to PUNK OUT!!!

pac never said he's willing to take less than a 50/50 split; he just said he's willing to take less than mayweather - whatever this statement means anyway. because even at 50/50 pac ain't getting as much as mayweather.
