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

[lfc19titles]

Just remember ODH's biggest ppv before that was Tito Trinidad at approx 1.4 mil ppv's. Even if ODH accounted for all those sales, which we know isn't true, that means floyd brought at least 1 mil paying customers.

Floyd knows how to drum up interest for a fight. You can't take that away from him.

No it does not, floyds highest was like 200k before oscar fight

he made around 22m while oscar got 40m+

oscar also got a share of floyds revenue as he promoted the fight

oscar got around 65 share while floyd got 35....that means floyd accounts for by their standards around 35 percent of the 2.4m ppv buys which is not even close to 1 million

nobody will ever come close to what oscar was, he was just a megastar

I not my fault alot of people don't know the business of boxing Teddy atlas, Dan Rafeal, all those guys commentate on the sport but don't know what really goes on on the business side Arum tells them something and they take it for gospel cause Arum knows most people don't understand the business side and he can tell them anything he so good he rips his fighters off right in front of there face and they don't know what is going on and he gets away with it he a criminal mastermind lol

who get the lion share on that biggest PPV? its OSCAR... common sense?

Whats the latest PPV #s of floyd? and what's on Pac? reality check? lol! again, what happened to just take the test and we have a fight? lol!

It should be 50-50 if they want to make the fight, but Floyd does sell more PPV's on a per fight basis. Just look at career PPV numbers per fight. This fight against Marquez was the only time Manny out sold Floyd against a common opponent.

Floyd since the Oscar fight (including Oscar):

De La Hoya- 2.4 million
Hatton- 915k
Marquez- 1.1 million
Mosley- 1.4 million
Ortiz- 1.25 million

Floyd is averaging 1.41 million PPV's.

Manny since the Oscar fight (including Oscar):

De La Hoya- 1.25 million
Hatton- 850k
Cotto- 1.25 million
Clottey- 750k
Margarito- 1.15 million
Mosley- 1.3 million
Marquez- 1.4 million

Manny is averaging 1.13 million PPV's.

It should be 50-50 if they want to make the fight happen but Manny was a moron to say he'd take a lesser share of the split in order to make sure it happens. So, you can go both ways to be honest in who did what. BOTH broke their word for sure. Floyd said everything was all good except for the drug testing, NOT TRUE. Manny said he would take a lower split than Floyd just to make sure the fight happens, NOT TRUE.

put one of floyds fight with juans and compare it with both of manny fights with juan,, it did better #'s!

How much "gobbling" Arum will do on Pac's money is Pac's business alone. Pac deserves an equal share because he brings just as much to the table as Floyd..

Idiots like you who keeps on harpin' about how much money is getting ripped off just dont want to acknowledge the fact that Floyd is dVcking this fight by asking more than the 50/50 split.

Its a major issue that would permanently kill the chance of this fight getting made unless Floyd change his stance...

Ultimately I know you aren't smart enough to understand anything I write and I also know that to even take time to insult you erodes whatever credibility I have. The words I use next I do so at my own peril, I understand this. So.... Why are you here at this site? Seriously, your posts suggest a mindset that is utterly impermeable to any logic or even the slightest bit of commonsense. Basically in a lot of your posts you try to pound the square peg into the round hole. If you have zero objectivity or ability to critique your god, what good are you? You're essentially a witless acolyte to a media manifestation, so do you realize how mentally challenged you appear at times? C'mon dude, can't you try a little harder?

Dunno, maybe I expect too much of the educational system, it's been failing to properly educated people for decades, it's sad to know you're one of the victims....

whatever how much bob arum is gobbling pac is none of floyd's bussiness, it does'nt concern floyd at all. we all know 50/50 is the only fair way of getting this done.

You're completely missing the point yo, this has nothing to do with what Floyd thinks and everything to do with the contract Manny Pacquiao has with Bob Arum. Manny will never get 50% as long as he has to answer to Arum to the tune of 27% of his purse, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Floyd. So what's Floyd supposed to do about that, give Arum 27% of his purse so he and Pacquiao can both be illiterate fools together?

The logic is simple, Mayweather has no boss therefore he keeps 100% of his profits, whereas Manny does have a boss that he pays 27% to. So no matter what happens Pacquiao will never make half.

True, Only common opponent pac outsold was Marquez.
As for the averages... sort of unfair. Pac's 7 fights to Floyd's 5 lowers his average a little. Plus Floyd only fights once a year or so, I feel like that factors in his fight numbers as opposed to Pacquiao twice a year.
