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

[Reloaded]

Spoken like a ****ing idiot like that dumb ******. How the **** do you know how much Manny is really making from each of his fights? Manny is the stronger ppv draw and he's suppose to take a smaller piece of the pot minus other sources of revenue pouring into the fight?! You must be smoking the same **** as the rest of the Mayweather tribe. Thank God idiots like you aren't managing other people's careers let alone handling their means of optimal financial gain.

Went over your head like a sea breeze didnt it , keep hating you racist piece of **** , only try and do it inside a logical argument ,, on second thoughts , just throw that into the to hard basket kiddo .

Sorry if i didnt make it clear but am referring to if Pac fights on June 9 against whoever Arum has in stock for him, He wouldnt make close to $15M tops, Of course if he and Mayweather fights at 50-50 he can make more than $40M but he still would not even see take home anything bigger than 25M with arum around to manipulate him again.

And, cuz of that he should accept this offer?

first of all pac you are a opponent against mayweather. secondly you are not the ppv cow because you and marquez did 1.4 buys. mayweather is the flat out ppv king in numbers generated in the history of boxing. third theres no way he would leave you out of the ppv money. pacquiao stop ducking.

no racial, but this is why certain people hate black people. Always gotta be so difficult. Just say you scared lil boy.

Are you crazy? This is gonna be the highest grossing fight in the HISTORY of boxing. It would be extremely ****** to take a flat fee for a fight that will break revenue records. Can't believe you guys cant see thru this Bull**** Floyd is trying to pull. He trying to rip Pac off something nasty. LOL

Yea he's trying to rip-off Pac lol, At the end of the day if the fight goes to 50-50 then yes Pac would make more than 40M but if he stuck with Arum and fight whoever he fights in june he makes less than 20M, And why arent you outrage on how Pac is been ripped off by Arum? But you want to be when Mayweather offered him a flat fee?

And, cuz of that he should accept this offer?

Good offer but if thats the first offer why would/should he accept it? Am sure most knowledgeable people knows you dont accept a first offer BUT its a good offer for someone like Pac who has never earn close to that.

Hm.. I can see both sides of this.

Pacquaio is an equal star in the sport - so he deserves a deal that reflects it for the sport's biggest fight.

However, the way he's been fleeced by his promoter is not his opponent's fault and makes him look B-side by his earnings. Why do what his promoter should have and give him such a HUGE cut that looks to you as unwarranted, and he's suing you, and you feel like he's used your name to piggyback on your star status?

Keep in mind, you're out performing said Top Rank fighter when it comes to common opponents and you're earning superfight money and ridiculous PPV ratings fighting nobodies, and participating in guaranteed mismatches, while your opponent doesn't.

When I stand back and look at it outside of the competitive aspect of boxing,

it looks like politics to me. Not fear on why this fight isn't done.

It is glaringly obvious that Arum caused the lion share of the trouble.

His thieving and legal influence has hurt Manny at the negotiation table.

When Oscar fought Trinidad. He chose a flat fee over a split....When the fight broke revenue(records) he didn't get as much money as he would have or deserved if he would have taken the split. So he left money on the table from his side. He was mad about that and pissed at Arum for it...When he made that decision.

This is the same thing here...This very well likely will break all revenue records. This is very likely you can't say it isn't...With the type of numbers both put out there. And, if it does shatter PPV records which Floyd himself is banking on cuz' if he wasn't he wouldn't make this offer. Then Pac would not be getting as much money as he would have or deserve if he sticks to the 50/50 split which he deserves. And, he would leave money from his end on the table.

Right I see what your saying ,,, off course that might happen , but gee there appears to be a lot of ifs and its a pricey gamble , this is 40 mill guarantee in the hand , against a lot of maybes , dont forget they will fight in between if he walks now ,,, hmmmm , I see what your saying , but 40 mill guarantee against what might just end up nothing because it dont happen ,, what if either got beat ,,, this is in the bank money .

ok ok, i understand backing your fighter and all that. But once you become their accountant, its border line creepy bro. I dont care if manny made 1 dollar his last fight. It's because of Floyd AND MANNY, that this fight is considered the fight of the century. Look at james toney and the ufc. Because he generated the most buzz for that event, he got paid the most on that card. You think kimbo slice was making millions fighting on the streets? Why do you think he got paid more than any other fighter on those strike force cards? Because he has name recognition, and he's the one thats gonna bring the fans.
