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

[Scarab]

Pac is a wimp if he really wanted to fight May then he should have taken what May had offered. Pac said no therefore he does not want to fight.

So Floyd's WANTS has to be followed huh? I never thought *****s can get this ******, but apparently this is a new record in nut hugging.

In the 1st negotiation, manny refused ost after floyd agreed to all manny's demands. I don't know that it was 50/50 but there wasn't a disagreement about purse split to my knowledge. Manny at some point agreed to take less than 50/50, when I don't know. This time around, floyd got the date set and tried to make a manny fight on the cheap and manny refused. rightly so.

It would seem the things they agreed on earlier should still be in place but it seems with each new negotiaition they have to negotiate every little thing again.

In the 1st negotiation, floyd hadnt done 1.4 m with mosley or 1.25 m with ortiz. we still dont know what are mannys actual numbers

This is ass-backwards, you cannot just take all the pay per view for yourself, Mayweather how about Pacman offers you a flat $ 50 million and he takes the rest, you wil say, so you do not want to fight, 50-50 split fair and fight is made

The Racket Squad: The Foul Stench of Floyd

In 1974, Don King arranged one of the the biggest fights of all time.
Ali and Foreman received 5 million each and traded shots in Zaire, Africa at four in the morning.
In 2012, Mayweather thinks that his worth is greater than the divisions other cash cow, Manny Pacquiao.
Sorry. Floyd may think that he is greater than the greatest, Muhammad Ali, but he is not even close. 50/50 is the path the true greats take if they truly desire a victory they must have to stake claim to being the best.
50/50 translates to a level playing field. Mayweather has defined his career by not playing on the level. His defective soul has scratched a path to large PPV numbers. Fan's pay to see if any of his selections can shut his mouth.
He refuses to fight the one man who possibly can. This is the ultimate fact on display.
Mayweather does not wish to fight Manny Pacquiao.
His motives are probably more race oriented than financial.
For all of his accusations, it is Mayweather who has the questionable ethics.
It is not about self preservation with numbers that large. It is about control, ego.and a man who thinks that he is the greatest athlete of all time.
Then again, emotional problems appear to flow like cheap wine through the Mayweather ranks.
Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
If Floyd refuses to fight Manny, his path to that cherished alter of the boxing realm will be blocked as well. He will not have earned his place there.
No human is bigger then the any sport he or she discovers achievement in.

Are u missing the point here? 50/50 wasnt a problem before so why do u think Floyd shouldn't take 50/50 to get the fight done? Before it was take the test and we got a fight right??? If 50/50 was a problem before it would hav been made clear just like the ost demand.

I'm not missing the point but you are treating 2009 like 2012. I don't know that purse split was an issue in 2009. I don't believe it was. The 1st time purse split was discussed as an impediment to the fight was by Manny in the interview where he said "i have no more issue with testing".

So I don't know exactly when purse split became an issue but it seems likely that manny asked for more money in exchange for agreeing to OST, which makes sense if I'm in manny' shoes.

SO maybe thats when it became an issue but I don't know.

If a fighter really wants the fight he will give into the demands. Catch wgt, glove size, cut in pay, sound familier anyone??

If the purse split was an issue before floyd would have made that clear just like the ost demand he wanted so don't try to act like u have no clue. If everything was agreed upon before like I assume it was and ost was the only issue then that should be the only issue. *****s funny how u guys say team PAC is the one always making new excuses yet u act like this one from Floyd wanting 50/50 now is not. Just imagine if PAC was the one saying he wants more and that Floyd deserves less y'all would be on here ripping PAC so don't front.

First of all Pacquiao doesn't make offers, he has a boss. Floyd doesn't.

40 Million Dollars is a lot of money and Manny shouldn't worry about percentages, what Floyd makes has nothing to do with him, take the offer or don't. All I know is he ain't getting 40 million for fighting Timmy Bradley.

Agreed 100% but I also understand if Manny passes on the offer. What I dont get is in 2009 there was a 50/50 offer on the table and Manny passed on it. What you dont do is leave the negotiating table that quickly. You make offers and counteroffers until you can find a number that both sides can live with.

I'm not one of those guys. I I answered your question the best I could. Niether you nor I know when purse split became an issue. My best guess is what I posted.

I'm not saying manny should take $40 mil nor do I think floyd should get $100 or all ppv.

If you say its an excuse not to fight, I don't agree. Floyd wants to fight but just wants all the money. Floyd needs to get over the fact he got shafted when the ODH fight sold 2.4 mil ppv and he didn't get what he should have.
