If money is preventing the fight from happening, then I care about earnings

[The_Sandman]

I mean, I don't care about a fighter's earnings normally. But in this case, money is preventing the fight from happening. So yes, I'm going to care. Manny is making crap. Look at his highest purse. Manny should just settle for the lesser money (like he said). It will be a lot bigger than $7.4 million.

And at least Floyd Mayweather isn't screwing Pacquiao over here. He is telling him straight up and telling him he won't make as much as Mayweather. He's not being sneaky, lying or messing around with other people's money. Unlike Bob who is supposed to be Manny's friend and is screwing him all the time. Let's be honest. Floyd is looking out for Pacquiao more than Arum is right now. When it comes to money, I would put my faith in Floyd over Arum any day. As much as Floyd loves money, he loves HIS money.

good post, especially since manny KNOWS bob is screwing him (visionqwest)

Floyd Mayweather is terrible for boxing.

He cares about money and only money.

Hope he retires soon.

[SirTomJones]

don't get me started on the majority of his fans too.

they care about his money as much as floyd.

very pathetic fanbase.

Money isn't stopping these two from fighting. Fear and greed is stopping these two from fighting.

Agreed to a certain extent. Im sure the people behind the screens know more about real numbers than any of us.

TS is absolutely wrong!!!! Floyd's comments about Manny's purse earnings is really just a smoke screen to justify Floyd's position into wanting the bigger split.

What people need to focus more is what kind of Buys Manny generates which effect what their fight(Floyd-Manny) will make. If Manny wants to give Arum most of his earnings that's Manny's business. The drawing power is what should be the focus and not what Manny ends up taking home based on what his worked out with Bob. If Manny can bring just as many paying fans as Floyd then Manny deserves a fair split even if Manny decides give his most of his share of the pie to Bob.

It's safe to say that Manny will be bringing alot of interest buyers into the fight with Floyd therefor Manny deserve a fair cut even if Manny decides to burn his half.
