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

[The Big Dunn]

Manny would have a valid point if he ever made more than $28 mil with the bulk of the ppv revenue.

And posters like I don't lose and Pac Boy say manny would fight floyd for free. Just wont fight him for $40 mil.

Are people going to keep bringing up this bogus offer when Pacquiao is dead?

It would have been idiotic for Pacquiao to take this offer, no matter how his power and relevance has declined since.

Hindsight is 20/20 it'd be idiotic for him not to take this offer now tho.

You think any of these posters-even reasonable manny fans-would have expressed the same things if floyd took this position with ODH?

It's not going to be offered now.

Floyd went from allegedly offering 50/50 to offering 0 PPV and Pacquiao hadn't even lost a fight in that time lol

Floyd will offer a happy meal and a TMT hat. His fanboys will try to claim its a terrific deal.

BS. If pac brings half the PPV interest (which he does) then he deserves half the ppv revenue. Why does it matter what he's earned before? What was Floyds highest purse before he netted 25mil against DLH?

The most important part of this article is the fact that Mayweather tried to treat Pac like the opponent which he CLEARLY isn't.

All it needed to make this fight when it mattered was a 50/50 split. Thats all, no drug testing (may), No daft stadium (Arum). Thats it, then we wouldn't have these boring ass threads.

You can't quantify how much interest Pac brings.

It matters because his TR deal structure is what puts a ceilling on his income earned from fighting. Floyd has offered to exceed that ceiling. Manny wants to exceed it further, but his deal limits that.

Floyd's highest purse may have been $8-10 mil. WHat you are leaving out is theODH fight was after he left TR. That deal structure allowed him to earn $25-30 mil. I remind you that ODH earned significantly more then Floyd did-again based on his deal structure.

Manny is nothing more than an opponent. Now I know manny fans want to pretend otherwise-but all he is Alydar to floyd's Affirmed-clearly ahead of everyone else but still behind the best.

The ped testing shouldn't have made manny reject 50/50. The stadium was BS. Because manny refused the fight twice he is likely to get well under what he could've in 09. No different than JMM or tim getting way less then what manny initially offered before they rejected and he went to rios.

Dunn, Webb and even the perpetually butthurt Imdazed has crawled out from under his rock recently. All of them seem to be in full ****** mode since Manny-Rios. Just too damn funny to read this kind of fanboy bumsniffery.
