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

That is ridiculous, he didnt lose for a start, and even if you believe he did you are stepping your foot precariously close to triangle theory equalling someones worth.

They are the two biggest stars in the sport, it should be a fifty-fifty, but even if pac said he would take a little less, I dont think he would have meant 'I will take eff all and let you bend me over'.

Floyd is being ridiculous, disrespectful and completely unreasonable. The guy is being a total arse.

How am i close to triangle theory? Im not even in the same shape of a triangle. I dont care that it was JMM i only care that in my eyes and in the eyes of a MAJORITY of boxing fans Pac lost so it is no longer a 50/50 fight. There is no buzz for Pac v Bradley and the Pac-train has lost some steam following that decision. Like i said 100% of the PPV is not right and i dont agree with that but this is more of a 60/40 maybe 55/45 fight to me.

I'm not denying the fact that PAC said he'll take less. I'm asking u can u show me where PAC says may 5th yes and I'll take less. Like I said bob and PAC had their own date when PAC made that statement, did Floyd agree to it? No, Floyd wanted his date instead so why should manny agree to take less if manny have to agree to Floyd's date also?

So you are saying less than 50/50 was only for late may/June 9. Could be plausible. I never saw manny say 50/50 only for those dates only that he would take less.

Correct manny did say he'll take less but never did he agree to may 5th.

Like i said before Arum got ahold of him he did say that "May 5th we can do it" in the ring following the fight.

There isnt as much buzz for Pac-Bradley because Bradley has no name, no reputation,no fanbase and not much in the way of personality.

Your words is as good as mind without anything to back it up. What Happen to take the test we gotta fight? What happen to that??

And I never saw manny said he'll take less for may 5th. So what happen to take the test we gotta fight?

I wish Floyd would stop saying this "100% of the revenue" crap. It's not only false, it makes him sound like a complete idiot. 100% of the revenue? So your opponent isn't getting paid? How about your trainer? Al Haymon? Leonard? GBP? Anyone?

[The Big Dunn]

You think he is blameless?

ABsolutely not. Floyd and Manny are both to blame. I have said throughout that floyd is being greedy as hell. THE $40 MIl offer is way too low. That said, he is doing this to a guy that just tried to lowball Miguel Cotto and force him down to 147-154 for a rematch. So its not like floyd is lowballing Mother Theresa or Martin Luther King.

The opinons here suggest floyd should do this and that for the fans, the good of the sport, etc. Its just as easy to ask manny to do the same.

I don't think floyd should make a 50/50 deal for those reasons. Only make that deal if the numbers say so. If that makes me a *****, gaywether, dvckrider , lawyer, ppv expert, accountantg blah blah blah I don't care.

When one of you comes up with a better plan I'm all for it.

[The Big Dunn]

dude, theres a BIG DIFFERENCE between "taking less" and "taking ZERO"
i can see taking less as in, "if you beat me, you can take 55-45 split"
or even 60-40 win or lose....but ZERO PERCENT of PPV SALES? GTFOUFF

Read one of my many, many posts in this thread. That was a cheap offer which I would have told floyd bite me.

[The Big Dunn]

And I never saw manny said he'll take less for may 5th. So what happen to take the test we gotta fight?

Like i said that was 2009-2010. Its a different year. If you want to hold that against floyd fine. Just be honest that it was Manny who first said money split is an issue and he said it right after saying "there were no more issues with testing".
