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

[sapaw]

Didn't Manny Pacquiao say he would take less money AFTER Floyd said all Pac had to do is accept the tests? I see a lot of you don't know how business works. If Manny would have stood his ground from the beginning and said 50/50 and NO negotiating, then Floyd would have had to put up or shut up but the fact Pac said he would take less to make the fight happen gave Mayweather a reason to get at him asking for more. Ain't about taking sides but about what exactly happened. Pac gave Floyd bargaining power, so for Pac fans to be on here talking about Floyd don't want the fight because he is asking for more than 50% may or may not be true BUT Pac clearly said he would take less and then went back on his statement.

If Pac fans are going to say Floyd don't want the fight then they have to cosign that Manny don't want it either or are just bias. Arum had the stadium excuse, the date was too soon for Pac's cut to heal.....yadda, yadda,yadda... but no one emphasizes on this. I say make it 50/50 if you really want it but since both guys are making millions on their own, they are not in a rush to push forward to fight each other. Totally an ego thing. Mayweather has star value and so does Pac. Both have been on the big stages. Floyd has fans and so does Pac. Split it down the middle and winner takes over completely. Fans of the sport are being played by the media. Fans protecting Floyd and Manny but the fight ain't happening that WE really want so who are the real fools arguing over it?

lol! if floyd only stood to his ground... just take the test? just sign the contract?...? still see my sig? lol!

Ummm.... Floyd beat Ortiz.......

I distinctly remember you condemning Floyd once the story about him not wanting 50/50 broke. Saying it was on him.

I kinda respected that.

Don't justify what Floyd is doing. Be honest with yourself.

How the hell am I'm justifying Floyd? Read the $H!t again! I said both should get 50/50. That's the problem with some of you on here. You guys are so emotionally caught up with certain fighters that you can't read and comprehend things from a broader perspective. Do I need to break my post down for you by highlighting it?

I use to think that the purse should be split 50/50 until I found out that pacquiao makes waayyy less than floyd... Why should floyd give a 50/50 split when he makes like 50 mil more than pac?.... pac only makes like 2 or 3( see nevada fight contract) mil after fees & taxes

Cause he's Filipino and the media **** rides him ?

Lets not discuss their last fights

Here we go again with this "As the world turns" drama.

I wonder what hatton got didnt he get 50% i heard it was somewhere in the 30 million mark for that fight.

65-35. But Hatton got all the rights to England PPV.

I havent read any posts but no one is actually defending Floyd are they? He is clearly in the wrong here.

NO Dumb ass.... If Pac would have NEVER said he would take less than Floyd to make the fight. Do you guys even read past Pac's name? And who cares about the sig because at the end of the day, I'm not stuck in the Pacquiao/Floyd zone like you are. You get a kick out of my Canelo post huh? so happy for you.

Ummm.... Floyd beat Ortiz.......

Floyd sucker punched his ass in barely the 4th round.

At least Ortiz has the cojones to fight anyone, like a man. He's even rematching Berto, knowing full well it's going to be a war.

Something that can't be said about Pac and Floyd. They need to cherry pick, weight drain, and price themselves out of big time competition.
