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

Arum will get part of that 40mil. Pac is under contract man. So Arum would get a part of it.

If the fight grosses what Floyd is banking on. Yes Pac will not only get the 40mil but then some...Now whether or not Arum chooses to rob bank after Pac gets his share is irrelevant. But, the fight should be at 50/50.

It would be harder to rob Pac with co-promotion at 50/50 then it is to do it while it's in-house. There was not a question of how much Pac got when he fought JMM II, Oscar and Hatton. Those were co-promoted events. It's when he fought Cotto and other in-house fights where the question arose. Since Arum was handling everything But, that won't be the case with 50/50 split and co-promotion.

This is ridiculous. Saying no to 50/50 is just saying no to the fight. Pretty simple.

Ok lets assume Arum will get part of his 40 million. 27.5% of 40 million is still a hell of a lot more than 7.4 million. Agree?

If you dont care how much money he is getting from Top Rank why do you care when he demands an impossible 50:50 split? As i stated before....To you Mayweather offering 40 million is worse than Bob Arum robbing the guy. Its apparent and funny that you actually hate Mayweather more than you like Pacquiao.

Can someone explain to him that Pacquiao will not clear that $40m

And with a cut of the PPV Pacquiao stands to make as much as $75m before he has to pay his crew.

Because its preventing the fight from taking place.. Everybody knows that Pac deserves 50/50 irregardless if he is getting robbed or not.. And we all know that the purse split will always be a major roadblock in all major fights.. And I am not just talkin about this fight...

The real question is why do you care so much about how much Pac is making... Don't worry about him, he will be fine.. He just bought a yacht and am sure is happy with his wealth..lol...

First of all you dont how much money Pac is getting from Top Rank from his PPV shares. And frankly speaking I dont really care.. He is a multi millionaire who would probably be wealthy for the rest of his life considering that he also has a fall back when his fighting career is over. In any case, I dont give a ****..

And Pac is willing to assume the risk.. I am sure about that...That's why they are asking 50/50..

So the real question now is why is Floyd is being a b!tch about it. Is this another roadblock that he has put up to prevent this fight from happening.

You have no idea what you are talking about, I see that now.

Manny assumes no risk he gets paid what arum gives him. He is not set for life, thanks to rip off bob, and will not make anywhere near this much money elsewhere.

All these so called roadblocks. Who said may 5th isn't an option? Who said floyd should get more than 50 %? Those came from camp pac man, yet he won't ever just say ok sure lets get it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope this fight never happens, really don't care anymore. F'UCK both these Prima Donas; move on and fight someone else. Let PAC fight Bradley and Fraud can go f'uck himself.

Well you acting as if it's 40mil plus a PPV and a gate all the other revenue that comes with it. But, there is no upside it's just a flat fee...that 7.4 number you throwing out there. Which by all accounts might very well not be accurate. Also has a PPV, gate and other revenue upside.

And, compare to what the fight might actually made it be a rotten deal. Like the one Oscar chose. The only that 40mil guarantee from Floyd is a good is if it does like 2mil buys and that's it. Floyd actually knows what Pac is bringing to the table hence why he is offering this because he is pretty sure that the event would make numbers we never seen before.

Im not worried about how much pac is making im just making sense of the situation. I actually knew for a fact pac was getting robbed long before this new evidence came out and argued with people about it in threads. Only person preventing this fight at this point is Bob Arum cause if Top Rank was serious about negotiations and compared figures with GBP to determine who gets what then all will be revealed. Believe what you want im sticking with what makes sense.

[shade darkar]

thats not the point at all.

This is a business so of course he expects to make money. He also is givng an offer that tops any offer manny has ever received.

Think of it this way..........what are the chances arum would offer either guy 40 mil guaranteed? Not a snowballs chance in hell

but in the interest of the fans, to make this fight happen, why cant they get all the money together and split it 50/50?

mayweather is making an offer of 40 mil when there is going to be a hell of alot more than that in the pot. its hardly fair for pac to take 40 when mayweather might get 100, you know what i mean!!

if bob arum said to mayweather, here you go theres 40 mil. but you aint getting any % on the ppv. would floyd accept that? would he fcuk.

lol.. Pac is already making 40M a year.. so why would he take a 40 M purse, when we all know he is bound to get more than that in his fight against Floyd..Not to mention he can make that type of money fighting 2 fights against somebody else without dealing with Floyd's bull****

****ing moron, the purse split will always been a talking point on all major fights.. Everything comes second to this..
