Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao is Not Getting 50-50, No One Is!

[junior gong]

No he's not. I wish it was that. Floyd actually believes he deserves more, he genuinely believes this, he's convinced he's the bigger draw. But he's not, they're the same. I wish it was as simple as him just trying to be a ****.

You may be right,but he is also being a ****. Him and Arum are a couple of tightwad,stubborn old c@#ts. Clowns, cant wait til they both eff off.

[The Ban Stick]

If you can't discuss this without name calling, arguing, etc, don't discuss it. I'm seriously SICK of having to ban people for ****** crap.

Lead Uppercut has PERMANENTLY been banned from these forums for creating alt accounts while banned. Please report if you see him back here.

I hope everyone hating on Floyd dislikes Chavez (sr.) and De La Hoya just as much, their opponents never got 50/50 either.

Edit: Not to mention that this shouldn't be an issue for Pacquiao seeing as he's on record saying that he doesn't mind taking a smaller cut.

i though it was the tests that prevented this fight from happening. Floyd is just playing everyone he has ducked this fight forever. I said from the beggining that the tests was a non issue and that floyd would make up another excuse. Be a fan of the fighter but dont support his crap. thats why i despise his fans.

It's official: 50/50 is now the new OST. Just look at the front page with all the threads already focusing on 50/50. Then you have hardcore nuthuggers who are already defending Floyd. It's the 'OST' all over again. It's unbelievable.

[Spoon23]

I don't now nor have I ever thought manny deserves a 50/50 split. I don't think floyd should do it just to get the fight done. I think the numbers should be run and the split based on that. I think Bob/Manny ask for 50/50 because they know , as does AL/Floyd, what the real numbers are.

If you say that is supporting my favorite fighter, so be it.

Well actually Pac does. It is all about marketing value. How strong a brand is. In this case how strong an athletes prestige, fame, and marketability.


It is called "market value."


the question of who really is ducking.. the uneven split Floyd was the deal breaker. Clear as day.

Floyd clearly ducking pac over a 50/50 split is definitely a deal breaker. It is a deal breaker when we know pac is a the global icon.

PAc is ranked 28 in the top athletes of 2012 in the usa while floyd only ranked 48 lol

He recently teamed up with Michael Jordan the great one shows who really commands the Benjamins. He even deserves more than 50/50, but agreed to it just to make it happen. The question is why does Floyd prices himself up? Pac having to be endorsed by Nike and being tied up with the Great

they are salable athletes and are likable. They are loved and watched.. That's were you know they sell! That's the common sign of being a famous salable athlete. You have to be attached to brands.

Pac is doing great coz he is recognized, while FLoyd coz he ain't much of a role model is stinking with no endorsement deal as of late.

Top athletes makes more money doing commercials and brand tie-ups with top brands. Just shows who is the man.

PAc even has more endorsement in the usa than Floyd.

Even Dana white the one the made ufc bigger than boxing knows It should be 50/50.

The question is who really is ducking here? 50/50 is a fair shake. More than generous enough..

So why over price yourself Floyd? Scared over a midget? Ducksville 101.. Clear as day.

[chito]

Looks like we the fight is probably not going to happen after all...

with a huge stake of money and so much fans anticipating for this fight, any reason why it's still not happening is beyond us i guess

Its about revenue genertaed not market value. If Pac has so much market value then why is he requesting only a 50/50 split? Why does he usually generate less with common opponents?

If Bob ARum knew the numbers were bigger for Pac he would never ask for or accept a 50/50 split. I am confident both camps have run all the numbers and they both arrived at the same conclusion: Floyd generates more revenue.

As such, Bob will request 50/50 because he is doing his job, to get his guy as much as possible. Al is doing his job, make sure his fighter gets at least what he deserves.

Ok whatever.. Sheep will be sheep! The question really is when will you have your blinders removed.. You have a twisted sense of reality bro.

A products value and saleability whether it is a car, a soap, a person is based on brand power. Looking at pac's credentials that brand is strong and truly deserves at least an even split even can ask more than Floyd, but he knows 50/50 is the only way to get this fight done.. You should know that by now..

He is saleable that is why is marketed Globally with Top brands like NIke. This fight will not only generate money in the states. This is a whole world event. Massive market to share profit.

Just in the states alone he is even ranked higher than Floyd in terms of athletes influence. 28th while Floyd is only 48.

Plus the ppv sales of their last fight will show an indication of how they are doing in selling.. Pac dong higher in the Marquez fight than Floyd vs Ortiz shows his marketing power. And add all the facts that I said..

Dude, wake-up.. This is a 50/50 fight to make it the richest super fight any 2 fighters can have..

50/50 is the only way this will happen.. Damn what a waste, rarely do you see 2 of the best fighters in boxing in the same weight class.. How sad if this did not happen..

Floyd is a t fault if he doesn't budge. sorry to burst your bubble.

Fair game bro. Fair game. It's about selling a product.

[sargo]

If he never agrees to 50/50 then the fight will never happen. Maybe he has run out of excuses since Pacquiao already agreed to everything else including olympic-style drug testing.

The boxing world knows 50/50 is fair. Even the boxing greats have chimed in.
