Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Hopes To Get Pacquiao in 2012

oh i thought this is an easy fight for floydie. pac is amateurish, he's one-dimensional. he's easy to hit. he fought nothing but bums, yada yada...

and now he's scared to fight the pacman without being guaranteed $100 million. this is so typical of scared boxers.

you're wrong. pbf's ppv attraction is dwindling as seen in his last fight. the haters who want to see him lose are tired of seeing him win in boring ud's and sucker punches. a part-time boxer doesn't deserve that much.

winner takes the bigger split. why would you even object to that if you're a fan of pbf?

Whatever floyd said about manny isnt a factor in deciding how purses are split. Your opinion about who is scared is biased and that isn't a factor in purse split either.

PPV sales are just one piece. Live gate and all the economic indicators must be factored in as well. All the economic factors indicate floyd deserves the larger purse. I'm sure Al Haymon and Arum, bioth Harvrad educated men, know this as well.

Just run the numbers and split the purse that way. I suggest 50/45 floyd with the remaining 5%to the winner. That way if Manny wins, he gets the 5-0/50 split he wants and if floyd wins he gets almost the 60/40 he wants.

Dude numbers don't lie. Floyd is a bigger PPv attraction. And he is trying to get promoter type money why because he feels that he is a promoterwhere pacman claims to be a promoter a does nothing. It's a business and why should arum take home over 100 mili an the fighters only 40+? does that sound right?

People tend to forget Ortiz doesn't have an avid fan-base like Marquez does...and still Floyd - Ortiz did nearly as much as Pac - Marquez

i sincerely doubt he will fight 3 times this year.unless he gets into a fight in jail

that's what I was thinking

but with the Cotto fight in May ... only 7 months left, how is two more fights possible?

unless he takes on a tune up type opponent whenever he gets out of jail (July-August?)

then a big fight in December to close out the year

but very unlikely Floyd gets 3 fights in the ring

How will floyd fight Pac in 2013 when Pac is already retired. Bradley is Pac's last fight according to Him because it is not right to be preaching the Bible and at the same time hurting people,; the best way Floyd can make Pac agree for a fight is for him to wear a devil's costume during the fight

That ring entrance would be awesome

Capital "H" in him and then talking about Manny and the Bible...Freudian slip?

As we already established, Ortiz doesn't have an avid fan-base like Marquez does. Even so, Floyd still got paid more than Pac did.

Anyway, who did more numbers May-De la Hoya or Pac-De la Hoya?

TIME AND TIME AGAIN. JEEZUZ CHRIST GAIZ

This fight has always been 50/50 but 55/45 to the winner is also pretty damn fair.

Damn roadblocks
