Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: Mayweather Doesn't Want The Fight, I Want It

[richardt]

This fight can only be a 50-50 cut, no other way. That is the only fair number. Whoever does NOT hold up to that, is the one responsible for the fight not happening and at this point it is Mayweather.

Knicks lost by 8 pts!!!! Floyd loses 900K!!!

I imagine the only reason Floyd would be such a high amount on 1 game is because he took bath betting against the Knicks for the past 2 weeks.

its +9.5 not -9.5

Indy is part right. For one, Floyd isn't being promoted by top rank (...as far as I know..), so basically..he's pretty much guaranteed a bigger pay day regardless. Pac, because of his promoter will never get 50/50, that's what he doesn't get. Pac needs to worry about how much of the actual percentage goes to him, as opposed to upping the percentage amount so that his promoter sees more money. Floyd is the favorite (imo) and is the bigger name (imo, if only slightly) and was bringing the venue, along with a history if bigger pay days... so he deserves the bigger cut. If I recall, Floyd didn't flat out say no to the ppv numbers (He said something like "lets get past the guaranteed portion and then we'll see"..some crap like that).

Pac deserves a smaller (possibly even significantly smaller) percentage of PPVs, but not giving him anything is ******. Pac isn't Ortiz and does bring in his significant fanbase so Floyd trying to low ball him on that end was also ******. IMO, Pac's issue was getting a head of himself... If you can't agree on the guarantee, why the hell would Floyd agree to the PPV? Vice versa. If Floyd was trying to low ball him with the ppv, he should at least offer up a larger guarantee. Or maybe even 50/50 on the guarantee, higher portion of PPV (but still try to make it enticing for Pac..I mean Arum) in exchange for Pac and company to drop the lawsuit and cover the expenses incurred. I think that's how it should have played out...but apparently a no to anything means negotiations get shut down. Both camps are too proud, and Pac is caught in the middle of a nasty power struggle between Floyd and Arum

he wouldnt take a guranteed 40mil to fight mayweather but he can make as much as 17 mil fighting bradley.the funny thing is that cotto who pacquiao has already beaten is making more than pac for the mayweather fight. its 30mil guaranteed.ha ha ha. pac loses twice.

Hey flint why do you think Jr chickened out doing the 45 45 split and the winner take all ?

he won, idiot.

Twosweethooks...it's about control. Floyd thinks he's god's gift to the world, I seriously doubt he thinks he'd lose. He's probably to douchey for that...lol. Instead of just looking at it from Pac's point of view, look at it from Floyd's, too. Why should Floyd take a POTENTIAL 55% when he's pretty much going to get at the least, 55% ANYWAY. Floyd wants 60 if I recall, and should probably be getting it anyway.. Pac thinks they're on an equal business platform, but they aren't..

i thought Manny just wanted to make it happen for the fans. He said he didnt care about the money. Floyd obviously does and everyone knows that. Floyd gives him an offer and what does he do? refuses and hits him with a counter offer. Havent they learned that you can't counter an offer when Floyd is telling you how it's going to be. Just continue to say Floyd is scared and doesnt want the fight until you're blue in the face.

What authority does Mayweather have to make such ridiculous offers?-NONE-

And how could negotiations be off the table from the biggest name in boxing right now -PACQUIAO-

If Manny and Floyd accepted 50-50, they BOTH would receive their highest paydays- something doesnt add up if Floyd rejects his highest payday

Mayweather never wanted this fight, and will never make this fight. His bullsht has finally been revealed, what an afront to boxing......

floyd keep's ducking pac , dude will never fight manny , unless manny gets a sex transplant , we all know floyd likes hitting women
