Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains Why 'He Can't' Give Pacquiao 50-50

[D4thincarnation]

So asking for a OST test for both fighters and being greedy is ducking, but refusing to take the test and being greedy is wanting the fight?

I still can't believe you still buy these lines.

This was only done to stop the fight from happening. Floyd knew about Pacquiao's past problems with giving blood.

That's why he put it out there.

If Pacquiao would have agreed even all the way back then, Floyd would have found another excuse.

How is Pacquiao greedy, Pacquiao offering 50/50 is generous for Floyd.

I can't fault you for doing that.

can you imagine the reactions of floyd and pacquiao if they were fighting infront of an empty arena!! that would send a message.

I'm really over the whole Mayweather-Pacquiao fight at this point tbh, Floyd's 35 now and Pacquiao is an old 33. This fight should have happened over two years ago at it's peak of popularity, If the fight ever does happen they might as well promote it as "Leftovers"... because both of these guys hardcore fans will have an excuse for either man losing at to each other now, either it's Floyd was over the hill and father time caught up or Floyd waited until Pacquiao got old to fight him, pick your poison, imoo Floyd beats Pacquiao in a boring fight ..

Hmm who could you be referring to?

It's confidential. Why would I name them? So the rest of the *****s can gang up on them and accuse them of being a ******* spy, then ban them from *****ville?

So floyd is nostradamus. and if pac were not afraid of having his blood drawn floyd would make another excuse. so manny is allowed to make BS excuses becuase hey floyd doesn't want to fight. Ok.

I'M SO TIRED OF MAYWEATHER AVOIDING PAC!!!

The funny thing is he may have higher chance of winning the fight!
For sure he will be the odds favorite of that fight...


Mayweather needs Pacquiao more than the other way around!
Simple Reason: HE IS CLAIMING TO BE THE BEST FIGHTER!

He has a chance to silence all his critics once and for all by beating Pac...
But he's just a coward to do it!

I just hope those who are so annoyed this fight isn't happening holds both men accountable. But these are the same diehard boxing fans who said floyd wouldn't fight Gatti, or SHane or Vic, or etc etc etc.

Have you lost your mind? Here it is your deal is structured where you make literally millions because you keep payperview monies, and keep in mind all of this is a testament to Floyd. He is a PROMOTER/FIGHTER.

I have been screaming and explaining this shat all week. I have broken this down so many times, yet I dont even know Floyd, but I know business. I have my own business as well, and the shat yall talking about simply makes no sense. PACQUIAO HASNT EVEN AVERAGED 20 MILLION PER FIGHT IN HIS LAST 4 FIGHTS, AND HERE IT IS DOUBLED FOR HIM. If he wants to retire, **** him let him retire plain and simple. A man with retirement on his mind aint ready for the performance of his lifetime anyway.... \People getting ready to retire aint focused... and yall think hes gonna last with Floyd anyway???? lmao!!! Look how even Roach keeps harping about pacquiao lacking that desire and hunger.

He (FLOYD) puts his own cash upfront to secure this shat. So this is what he makes. To put into perspective say you guys are at work and your boss comes and states, he needs to hire someone else to fulfill a huge quota. You say okay no problem... He then proceeds to inform you that you make x amount of dollars.... He then tells you that he is gonna cut your pay in half (50/50) for say a month to pay for this guy. But afterwards your pay will resume to where it was.

YOU GUYS KNOW GODDAMN WELL YOU WOULD BE HOLLERING AND SCREAMING UNETHICAL ETC. YOU WOULD BE DIALING HR SO GODDAMN FAST WITH FOAM DRIPPING FROM YOUR MOUTHS!!!!

The fans want Floyd to fight for them.. Floyd says fine.

The fans want to tell Floyd that we know you are use to making this, but for the sake of boxing short change yourself millions of dollars to give to another fighter so you can prove you are the best even though the odds are in FLOYDS FAVOR STYLISTICALLY, AND FLOYD IS UNDEFEATED..

THAT SIMPLY DOESNT MAKE BUSINESS SENSE AT ALL.

Would you hypothetically speaking have put the work in to be a lawyer and you make 100 dollars an hour. Would you be willing to have your pay cut in half because me (the owner of the law firm) wants another lawyer on staff, but I dont wanna ensure hes getting paid from my pockets. so I just cut your pay for a little while to pay him. Any real lawyer worth his salt would be like thats bulls@t and ready to sue.

YALL KILL THAT ****... MOST OF YALL DONT EVEN BUY THE GODDAMN FIGHTS YALL STREAM EM, SO YALL WANT FLOYD TO TAKE X2 HITS.

1.) FIGHT FOR LESS MONEY EVEN THOUGH HE INVESTS MONEY.. (Only a debt ridden thieving orc would do/request such a thing always looking for a handout/freebie, goddamn 99%ers)

2.) You guys THEN STREAM HIS SHAT. If you like the boxing match/card buy the fight. you dont agree with the matchup dont buy it, but dont criticize a fighter for not fighting in a fight you wanna see only to stream the sh@t.

Your userID would make an assumption your Indian. You probably don't speak enough english to understand between the lines.

Ok, we get a person's worth value. Both these dudes will get more than they EVER made. Yes, the variable does not make it ok for one to decrease value over another but in this case both have shown they are pretty much equal in what they can and will bring to the table.

YOUR WORDS state as though Mayweather is putting all his money into the promotion ALONE. That is a false. Pac is "PAYING" for his promotion. If your a business man, you know "revenue" is what is net after everything is all said and done. So what is the "revenue"/net Mayweather is retrieving after all is said and done? I bet it isn't far from Pac's?

We don't know all the details of the business side so that's where we as fans should STFU.

We pay for the fights so we should have a right to demand fights. That's why a lot of boxing fans are crying boycott.

So some of the "shat" you said is understandable....and others are just "shat".

BTW, your examples can easily go the other way. Where in business sense does it show Mayweather should get 100% of the PPV revenue? Your eating bull****

You are correct. Floyd is fighting cotto next. He's expected to make $50 mil depending on ppv sales. He's a 1st ballot HOF'er. But he needs to fight manny so guys who hate him wil somehow respect him just like they did when they said he wouldn't fight shane. SOund logic you are using.

Big Homie, give it up. They are an illogical bunch of ******s....

Again I will not sacrifice what I make because someone feels they deserve more even they they dont invest shat, and simply based of fanfare from the ignoramt masses.....

Why didnt we hear all this yapping during the NBA LOCKOUT?? The players were like, we play, we work, and we want more!!!! But the players were already getting 57% of the revenue. The goddamn owners wanted 50/50 and yet no one complained, because the simple truth is this.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE SCENES IS ALWAYS THE BREAD WINNER. HE WILL ALWAYS CALL THE SHOTS WHILE THE OTHERS PLAY ON THE COURT OR IN THAT SQUARED CIRCLE. In the case of FLOYD, HE GETS TO CALL SHOTS, BECAUSE HE IS A PROMOTER!!! THATS WHY HE CAN TELL HBO WHAT TO TALK ABOUT REGARDING HIS LIFE AND OUTSIDE BOXING ADVENTURES.

The players learned a valuable lesson... THEY ARE SIMPLY HIGH PAID ******... And the commission doesnt even do anything physically lol...

PACQUIAO WANTS MORE MONEY BUT FLOYD TOLD HIM DROP ARUM, AND PROMOTE YORUSELF!!! MARQUEZ, COTTO THEY BOTH KNOW THE GAME. YOUR NAME IS BIG ENOUGH TO PROMOTE YOURSELF!! He doesnt need arum, or does he??????

An outside firm came in and told him he was getting robbed.... What did he do??? He fired the outside firm lmao!!!

Floyd told him he was getting robbed, and what does he do?? Stay with arum and continue to borrow cash because he doesnt make what his name suggests and is worth...

And now what is he doing?? Hes not pissed at arum, hes requesting that FLOYD GIVE UP SOME OF HIS GUARANTEE/PROMOTER SPLIT BECAUSE ARUM IS TELLING HIM TO ... Simply put pacquiao isnt that smart. Hes literally a dummy. If manny wants more money, simply promoting himself releases him of the 27% hes getting robbed of. Not to mention he could then invest that 27% into a co-promotion deal with floyd and split the revenue down the middle. But hes requesting Floyd give up his money. AND FLOYD IS LIKE I aint splitting 50/50 with your ass, simply to get BOB A BIGGER SHARE. Pac wouldnt even end up with 75 -80 million like floyd. SIMPLE MATHEMATICS PROVE ME RIGHT ON THAT. Its not like Bob does some heavy ass advertising..
