Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: Mayweather Should Give Pacquiao The 50-50

[PACsmash]

Def agree that the fight should be 50-50 BUT Pac opened his big mouth and said he would take less money to make the fight. So I don't wanna hear him say now that he wants 50-50.

this has been covered before already, pac agreeing to take less but never agree to floyd's date when he made that statement. IF he has to agree to a date that floyd wants and it cant be on any other date like team pac had in mind then why would he still agree to take less?

Sorry, but when Floyd was seeking a fight with DLH he wasn't nowhere near to what Pac is today... He was not a global icon that pushes products around the world. Floyd was not a FOTY or Fighter of the Decade... Floyd was not getting 20 million plus purses. He hadn't even got a 10 million purse yet... Floyd was not constantly selling million plus PPV events. I think up until that point his only PPV was Gatti, Judah, and Baldomir and what were those numbers??? So to say that Floyd in '07 was the same or has the same marketing power as Pac'12 is a joke... Floyd was lucky to get a 60/40 split with DLH and a 50/50 with Pac is a more than fair offer from the guy that has sold more total PPVs than him and is the 3 time FOTY and the FOTD and boxing's only 8 division champ with 4 lineal titles and a global icon and has been invited to the White House by the 1st Black President... Shouldn't ***** have invited and had his picture taken with the undefeated so called king??????? No he choose Pac cause he aint no fool!!! A 50/50 is only fair and to suggest any different or attempt justify it on Floyd's behalf is just crazy........

This is a prime example of hate occupying your heart. Oscar fought Chavez, Whitaker, Tito, Shane, Gatti, Hopkins, and even Pac but it took a fighter who "was not a global icon that pushes products around the world; was not a FOTY or Fighter of the Decade; was not getting 20 million plus purses, he hadn't even got a 10 million purse yet; was not constantly selling million plus PPV events; and up until that point his only PPV was Gatti, Judah, and Baldomir; and most importantly didn't have the same marketing power as Pac in '12" to sell the highest selling PPV of all time. When talking business, keep it business. How dare you speak on a business matter and use boxing writer's and journalists recognition as a bargaining chip? The likes of Paulie Ayala and Ricky Hatton both won Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year awards. Name the last big fight either one of those guys received 50/50 in purse splits....don't worry, I'll wait.....

And I just knew you were in trouble with your opinion when you dragged who Pac ate asparagus and steak with as reasons for him deserving a 50/50 split. Matter of fact, the whole "Pac has an action figure in his likeness" assertion was just as desperate. Like I said, I would love for Floyd to take 50/50 if that is indeed the last hurdle to clear to make the fight happen. I just find it odd that in a sport with no singular commission and were everything down to the type of gloves and who walks down first is negotiated...that people all of a sudden think Floyd (owner of the highest purchased fight in history) asking for a higher cut is the worst thing ever to happen. He's not doing anything that the other "FOTY's" (you know...your basis for Pac deserving 50/50) hadn't done.

I made it simple for you.

Year 2009-2010 less popular Pacquaio < popular Floyd = 40/60
Year 2011-2012 more popular Pacquaio > popular Floyd = 60/40
but 50/50 is the right thing do. Saying Floyd deserved more than 50% is ridiculous because the facts won't support Floyd in his way.

Pacquaio has NIKE, HP, KFC, McDonald's while Floyd has only soda pop! Can you see the difference? No? Here is another proof. Currently Pacquaio last two fights has more ppv buys than Floyd last two fights. The most important matter is right now. Pacquaio is loved by media while Floyd must prepare some soap for ass gang****ing he will receive in prison.

When a salesman says I have to pay more than his initial offer I would be pissed too...

Pac is either a liar, or is ducking the fight. He already agreed to a lesser cut, May 5th and blood testing..

Why can't pac stop being a coward and tell Bob to make the fight?

Way to comment on Teddy Atlas POV. You just cant hide the passion inside you

Teddy Atlas? lol Im a ******* and discredit everything he says. Or am I going to agree with what he said now like all the other *******s just because it suits my agenda?

I've said from day one it should be 50/50. Now carry on...

[WESS]

Dehydrator got his vagina hurt... lol what a ***ing tool..

[WESS]

Good news...

Pac agreed to may 5th, the lesser share and random blood tests.

The boxing community should be happy because just as soon as Bob Arum accepts what pac wants the fight will be made...

Why are the *******s so angry all of a sudden?
