Dude, Manny is hurting for money, he's not taking home 20 million per fight.

I told you to stop telling lies.

According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Floyd Mayweather Jr has a $25 million guarantee for tomorrow night's fight, while opponent and defending WBC welterweight titleholder Victor Ortiz is guaranteed just $2 million.

Been seen it. Few more fights with Arum (6-7) should get him the same amount.

truth is, mayweather is not in a position to dictate terms. look at him. he's virtually cornered into fighting pac. his last fight didn't do well as expected. it would even be more difficult for him to justify fighting other fighters other than pac. which is why he's forced to make the call. something he'll never do in a million years. he's desperate. don't even know why, instead of bending a little, he's dictating the terms. this guy will accept 40 split if only pac makes the right moves.

Pacquiao, Arum count Mayweather out

MANILA, Philippines — Unless Floyd Mayweather Jr. gets hit by lightning and suddenly realizes that Manny Pacquiao is indeed a reasonable man with reasonable demands, all roads will lead to Las Vegas on June 9, the date of the Filipino’s much-awaited ring return against Miguel Cotto or Tim Bradley.

“There’s been no movement on Mayweather’s side,” Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum told the Manila Bulletin Thursday as a last-ditch effort by Pacquiao’s adviser Mike Koncz did not produce favorable results.

Koncz had to fly to the United States from Manila over the weekend in a bid to salvage the Mayweather megabuck match but Arum said Pacquiao’s Canadian right-hand man will be returning to the Philippines this weekend armed with another set of documents for Pacquiao to sign.

Arum did not say who Pacquiao is facing in June but logic dictates it is Cotto, the Puerton Rican ****er who is hell-bent in avenging his 2009 stoppage loss, although Bradley cannot be ruled out as well.

The problem with Cotto, a super welterweight title holder, is that he doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs or a catch weight way below his current fighting weight of 152 lbs.

Since he hasn’t weighed lower than 152 lbs in his last three fights, Cotto claims that it would be an extreme sacrifice for him to give in to Pacquiao’s demands.

Still, when money talks, everyone listens and forcing Cotto to get down to 147 or 148 lbs won’t be difficult in the face of a huge dollar sign.

A flabbergasted Pacquiao said on Wednesday that Mayweather was so ridiculous that he was offered a flat rate of $40 million, leaving the pay-per-view share and other sources of revenue all for Mayweather to collect.


Now that Pacquiao’s next fight against somebody other than Mayweather is starting to take shape, Arum said he will try to work out a deal for the two fighters to agree on fighting sometime in November.

“As long as they win their next fights, Mayweather on May 5 and Manny on June 9, they can absolutely fight in November,” said Arum, confident that a temporary venue would have already been in place by that time.

Arum had made it public that he was against staging a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in may or even June because of the limited time available to promote it and get things done.

“A fight this big deserves a bigger venue,” said the New York-bred 80-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer.

“We just can’t leave too much on the table,” added Arum, referring to the estimated $20 million that will be left out if a Pacquiao-Mayweather super fight ends up being held in a smaller arena.

Pacquiao and his soon-to-be named foe will formally announce their fight next month after Pacquiao graces a dinner Arum will host for Muhammad Ali in Las Vegas.

Basically you've gone back and forth with someone for about 5 posts without progressing the debate in the slightest. And then you post something virtually irrelevant to the original point the guy was making.

As is your style.
