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

[Spoon23]

Saying that Pacquiao doesn't deserve a 50/50 split because of Arum is no different than saying Pacquiao doesn't deserve a 50/50 split because most of Pac's share will go to charity. Or saying that your boss has the right to pay you less because he doesn't like your wife!! IT MAKES NO SENSE! It doesn't matter where Pacquiao's share of the money goes. A SPLIT IN REVENUE IS SOLELY DETERMINED BY THE MARKET VALUE OF EACH FIGHTER. Where that money goes afterwards (family, charity, *******, whores, etc.) does not matter!

All major sports media news outlets have NO PROBLEM with Pacquiao and Mayweather sharing the revenue of their megafight at 50/50!!

Well said. How pac spends his money is entirely up to him.

Floyd minding Pac's bizz is pathetic way of ducking.

I'm still looking for someone to explain to me how they think Mayweather watched Pacquiao's last two fights and said to himself "Man.. I just don't think I can beat this guy. I think I'll duck him"

His mind was made up in 2009 Pac vs Cotto. The week after the fight Floyd immediately asked for blood testing. Even though he has seen Manny's last 2 fights, he obviously still sees Manny as a threat, thus him creating new obstacles by the minute.

Or maybe he hasnt seen Mannys last 2 fights at all? He has been known to watch Lady Gaga rather than Mannys fight.

Stop it, man. He's seen both fights and has already said he thought Pacquiao lost his last fight against Marquez. What universe do you live in that you seriously think Mayweather watched that fight and thought for a second he couldn't beat him? You'd have to be an extremely delusional Pacquiao fan to honestly think that Floyd is scared to fight Pacquiao at this point.

I see no reason why Floyd doesnt think he cant beat Manny, you have to ask him yourself.

His recent actions of changing the purse after Manny giving into blood testing is another story. He's not scared, but yet he keeps moving the goalpost. In his mind he thinks he's top dog. So is it in his principle, thinking he should change the split from 50/50, to 40million to Manny and 100% of the PPV belonging to himself?

He said he was a man of principle when he was trying to clean up the sport, and now this. What else can I assume other than he's scared? I know for sure he's not a man of principle, that has to be a fn joke now.

Make no mistake about it - Mayweather is full of **** - but so is Pacquiao. The same exact thing that you just said about Mayweather I can say about Pacquiao, especially since Pacquiao's camp has come up with A LOT more excuses and deceptions than Mayweather has.

I'm pretty convinced that the only reason Mayweather is saying he won't do a 50/50 publicly is because Pacquiao, like an idiot, has already said publicly that he would take less money to fight Mayweather.

Be objective for just once: You can't possibly think that it was a smart business decision for Pacquiao to publicly say that he'd take less money than Mayweather and not expect Mayweather to immediately call him out on it. You just don't give up that kind of leverage before you start a negotiation, and you know it.

Also, they didn't even have a negotiation. A 2 minute conversation between Mayweather and Pacquiao is not a negotiation. Neither Bob Arum or Todd Duboef had anything to do with that conversation. That whole interaction reeks of Mayweather attempting to take advantage of Pacquiao by trying to get him to agree to something that wouldn't benefit him at all, thinking Pacquiao is an idiot. Pacquiao might not be a smart businessman, but he isn't that ****ing dumb to accept an offer like that.

Koncz negotiate personally with floyd as well, longer than 2 minutes. A winning split was even offered but floyd refused, and admitted refusing during the interview.

Asking for 100% is ridiculous and for whatever reason he doesnt see this. The sole blame for the fight not happening at this very moment is floyd, AGAIN.
