Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says Mayweather Offered a $40 Million Flat Fee

[jrosales13]

Roach, Ariza and all those other tards are under Top Rank's payroll. Manny is not his own boss and i think youre confusing Manny's situation for Floyd's situation. All Manny does is fight, get paid off the front end alone and does whatever Bob tells him to do. Manny is getting a 40 million guarantee which he sees for HIMSELF. He never got any ppv money as revealed and Mayweather is the top ppv draw theres no arguing that at this point. Why is ppv money important to Manny now when he was never getting anything out of it that he is really worth?

Arum would still get part of the 40mil...Either way the PPV money has always been important to Pac. It's not just something that came out of the blue.

WTF, the split was never debated by the fans until recently, smh.

You know what mayweather is trying to do and it makes sense. Manny COULD make more than 40 if arum was involved, but since arum has a long history of shortchanging his fighters it certainly isn't guaranteed. With this deal he makes the money no matter what.

Basically it's stick with your promotional and make what you been making or f them, come fight me be your own boss and make 40 mil.

Don't really know if I would take it, but turning down 40 mil is major. Under top rank manny may not see 40 mil on his next couple fights

Pac can make that money in 2 fights.. And Floyd doesnt make that type of money in one fight either.. Those who believes that are ******..lol

I would go back to the Oscar example.

Arum would still get his cut with this deal. Pac is under contract with Top Rank. He's not a free agent.

And, that's irrelevant to if 50/50 is possible or not. 50/50 is very possible and that's what it should be.

I can't believe people are really trying to debate that.

Pac has a contract with Top Rank.. Its like Pac offering Floyd without Haymon, and Golden Boy... So if its goin' to be between the fighters then why cant MP Promotions, and Floyd Mayweather co-promote...

For 1 mp promotions has never handled a fight of this scale.

2 floyds golden boy contract and mannys top rank contract are nothing alike. Floyd is the boss in that camp, arum has the final say so over manny's career.

This is a way out for manny, I think he should take it. Leaving top rank were among the greatest decisions floyd and oscar ever made.

Just because you make stuff up doesn't mean it's true.
So what happens when Roach is training Khan? Top Rank still pay him? or is it GBP. Stop telling lies, you are becoming worse than Floyd.

So Arum pays for 400 of Pacquiao's strong crew, Roach and Ariza and all the promotions events.



Looks like Pacquiao's deal ain't that bad at all.

Everyone knows Roach and Ariza is under Top rank you dweeb. Why do you think Arum had to shut them up when they were making claims that Arum was the one preventing the fight? Youre the one that make stuff up here. Youre a full blown ******* and you ignore any news that clearly shows anything negative about him. Dont think i dont see what you do...

Its already been reported that the ppv cost for this fight would be hiked up to around $70. Now given the fact that this fight is expected to net around 3mil buys, that would mean $210mil just in ppv buys alone. The network takes half leaving $105mil on the table. The way its looking, between Floyd's guarantee and his ppv upside, he's is on target to make around $100mil while trying to shortchange Pac by cutting him out of any ppv profits. Anyone who thinks this is fair game is either a biased Floydboy who only cares about what Floyd wants rather than having this fight go down, or Leonard Ellerbe himself!

And Floyd does?? lol... Floyd's promotional company is nothing more than a shell company.. Its like the Winky Wright Promotion, or JMM promotion.. Its there for tax purposes.. We all know that real promotions are made by Golden Boy and Top Rank..

And please dont compare Golden Boy with Floyd's promotion, they are nothing alike.. Because Golden Boy actually promotes fights...Next thing you will say is that Philty Rich is a recording company..lol..

Risk my as$. Makes zero?? A fighter like Floyd and Pac can generate at least 80M revenue, so a small guarantee means nothing considering that both could at least make 20M-30M in gross after they get their shares of the profit...

80M revenue is least money for fights against everybody else... A fight between the both of them would substantially be more, and is projected to be at least 2.5 M buys which is around 160M ...

You still don't get it........yes these fights have risk. Do I think it will generate over 100 mil, yes I do. The thing is manny must decide does he take a GUARANTEE OR assume the RISK that the fight doesn't do as well as is expected.

If the fight generates 100 mil, Bob Arum is NOT paying manny 40 mil. If you believe he would I feel for you. It would have to do near 150 for manny to see that kind of dough.

So take 40 mil with no risk, or run the risk of needing the fight to sell 150 plus to get close to that gauranteed offer.

Yeah why was Ariza complaning about how Khan didn't pay him it was Arum's job.

Guess Ariza was lying about his deal with Pacquiao.

And when Roach said he would forgo his cut if Pacquiao lost to Oscar he really meant Arum wouldn't pay him.

Isn't time for you to make up another story. I thought Floyd was bad.
