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

Considering Floyd came in 2 pounds heavier in his Marquez fight, no i dont.

I dont think i need to tell you but 2 WHOLE pounds in IS A HUGEEEEE amount.
I remmeber in other weight ins where guys come in half a pound overweight and they get picked apart by the fans. Now imagine 2 freaking pounds.

Also you gotta consider, All Floyd has to do is follow the contracted protocol and thats that. Nothing extra needed to be done.

But why didn't Manny just allow the commission to handle the weight penalties like they normally do?

Floyd is once again riding off the coattail of Manny's name.

He offers him 40mil, so he can steal Manny's side of the fanbase PPV sales. Like we dont have enough people dipping into Mannys pocket. Floyd wants a piece too.

what is the commisons weight penalty anyway?

[Drunk Punch]

For $40M Manny should jump at the chance to fight Floyd.

I believe NSAC's is 20% of the fighters purse.

I believe NSAC's is 20% of the fighters purse.

In that case lets do a hypothetical equation.

Suppose Floyd makes 50million. 20% of 50mil is 10million.
10mil per pound is 10mil per pound.

So i cant really say that unreasonable. Whats your thought?

why he leave a potential 20 mill on the table just for 40 mill ???!!! that would be bad buisness on mannys part !!!! he agrees to the flat rate of 40 mill while mayweather makes 40 mill plus an aditional 40- 50 on the back end !!!!! manny would have to be as ****** as roger or jeff to agree to that !!!!!!!!!!!

First, stop acting like manny agrees so easily. He doesn't. Truth is floyd is much easier to make fights with.

Only if you are sucking his d1ck. To be honest Pac is the same way. That's why this should be 50/50.

I'm a Floyd fan but I completely agree with this, dude is a str8 up diva and as a fan of his it is massively annoying/disappointing.

Of course he is a diva. Once you get to that status you become diva. Pac is a huge diva as well, Oscar was the before these 2. From SRL to all the way back to SRR and even further back.

Once you get to that level most of them become divas. What I don't understand is some of his fans debating against the 50/50 split. Just because Floyd said so. When before it was seen as the one that their was no debate about.

Didn't Oscar take both these guys for 70/30.
