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

[shade darkar]

Time to stop acting like ignorant children and look at the facts. Anyone saying Manny should get 50/50 is really saying Bob Arum should make more money off this fight than Manny should cause Floyd is basing this off Manny's guarantees. Contrary to what ignorant people might think Manny doesn't make the 20 million per fight the press says he makes but Floyd does make an average of 40 million per fight based on his last 3/4 fights so Floyd is absolutely right for offering a guarantee 40 million. Manny's guarantees have been in the 7 million dolllar range while Bob Arum has been making a killing off him. This is not about hype but about facts that can easily be checked out. Stop thinking Manny has his **** together because he doesn't but on the other hand Floyd does have his.

would mayweaher accept a 40 mil guarentee with 0%? didnt think so.

sounds to me like he was trying to fuck over arum. truth be told: pacquiao would probably only end up with about $15m of that 50% ppv split if it was filtered through arum.

That's a terrible analogy.

While I think it should be 50-50.... 40 MILLION... damn.

Funny how Floyd told Pac, by fighting him it would be the most he'd ever make in his career... same goes for you Floyd.

The facts are whenever Pacquiao agrees to a demand of Floyd, Floyd makes up a new one.

First it was blood test, 14 day cut off.

Manny agreed.

Then Floyd move the goal posts. and went on vacation.

Then Manny agreed to all of Floyds blood testing demands, then Floyd needed a warm up fight against Victor.

And now after 50/50 was agreed over two years ago, and Floyd said if Pacquiao takes the test the fight is on, Floyd moves the goalposts again, claiming he wants 70-30 to 60-40, or even just giving Pacquiao a flat rate.

Even when Pacquiao agreed to the venue and the May date.

Floyd is doing everything he can to stop this fight from happening.

It's still a horrible analogy.

haha, well it is what it is.

there is no way anybody can justify a 100%-0% split.

floyd might aswell of offered him a blow job, more chance of him accepting that.

WRONG!!! Arum made 60 plus for Manny's last 2 fights. Look at the guarantees not the press reports. Manny is not hurting for money in a 3rd world country and making 60 million in his last 2 fights. Manny's guarantees are very low and Bob has his balls gripped so tight that Manny can't do anything but say "uhhhhhhh whatever my promoter say".

Yes guarantees of 20m and 22m plus 6m for each fight and a cut of the PPV.

No because Mayweather already makes 40 million plus without Manny!!!! Manny doesn't even make 15 million a fight. He has to pay Top Rank and Golden Boy. Look up his written guarantees he's getting and you will see their in the 7 million dollar range. Floyd has been making 40 million plus since he came back, he will make that his next fight and future fights that is a fact. The intrigue is can Manny beat the undefeated Floyd not the other way around which is the main selling point of this fight.
