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

[EdMon917]

Pacquiao speaking up. Good for him but lets see if the fight gets made later in the year.

[check hook]

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao doesn't believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. was ever serious about fighting. After years of failed negotiations, Mayweather actually spoke to Pacquiao on the telephone last month - and offered the Filipino boxer a flat fee of $40 million dollars - with Mayweather keeping 100% of the pay-per-view revenue. Pacquiao shot the offer down, and had his adviser, Michael Koncz, present a counter-offer of a $50 million dollar guarantee, with 45-45 split - and the winner would grab the final 10%.

What Manny says here about the split is 100% pure truth and 100% reasonable. Floyd is being completely unreasonable, and to say otherwise is simply not true at this point. However, it doesn't absolve him and his team and their actions prior to it. If he wanted the fight it would have happened in 2010, when there was no issue with $$ and everything else was agreed to. If he and his advisers wanted it they would have negotiated like businessmen before the split issue arose, instead of offering half baked crap about cut, venues and dates.

Manny Pacquaio is a greedy, egotistical prick, much like his P4P counterpart. He's starting to sound more and more like Floyd "you can't stop god's work" Mayweather everyday, yet he is much worse, as he cultivates a public image that is a facade, whereas Mayweather does not. This little c*nt has the temerity to say God came spoke to him in a dream.........he is a deluded clown who is convinced of his own self importance.

it never ends!

It never ceases to amaze me how many people come on to the site and speculate about how much these two should make for the fight. You may think you know but you don't! So stop arguing about it and trying to prove some ****** point on who is getting over on who and for what reason.

Here's a hint, they will both make way more than any of us will ever see in our lifetimes. I could give a **** about how much they make, and I am a pretty sure they don't give a **** about what I think or anybody else here on this site thinks about their money demands for the fight. Its the most anticipated fight the sport has witnessed in 25 years and it can't be made. These two are wealthy beyond belief and can't make it happen, not for legacy, not for the sport itself. At some point we have to acknowledge what is going on and let it go. I know it sucks but what the hell more can be said about it, that hasn't already been said?

catchweight and ped fraud

I think pacroid never wants the fight. Its excuse after excuse my promoter i'm scared of needles. The magical stadium that was going to be built there wasn't enough time to promote the fight my cut won't heal in time. This guy and his daddy arum have come up with all these excuses. hey pacroid and bum arum if you want something magical go to magic kingdom or to a magic show. this guy is all a media hype who without his uncle roid wouldn't be anything in the sweet science. Marquez proved that your a mediocre boxer.

i thought Manny just wanted to make it happen for the fans. He said he didnt care about the money.

Pac does NOT care about the money, this is about PRINCIPLE and there is NO WAY this fight should be anything other than a 50-50. There is NO DEFENCE for Mayweather offering less than an equal split.

"But Pacquiao said......" LOL. If we held Floyd's feet to the fire for all his contradictions and everything he's "said", he'd have no legs.

[trainhard_187]

Mayweather accused Pac of using PED's with no evidence, that in itself says Floyd never wanted to fight Pac..
