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

Just the last 3 fights. why not the last 5 or 6?

Because the latest figures will show more accurately who is currently the bigger draw among the two.

Now you know when I am mad? Are you secretly spying on me or something? as for calling him a boxer promoter, it is fair but you would have to start calling most boxers "boxer promoters" from now on because most own a level of promotion company like Floyd. Manny, Canelo, Cotto, etc, etc all have promotion companies and all put up money for promotions.

Mayweather is the one that's putting up the money for the other fighter's guarantee. This is something Top Rank and Golden Boy does.

The split is nothing but an excuse. Floyd is plainly scared of Manny.

Yup, it reinforces that Floyd really can see Pac is the real deal. A real threat to giving him his first loss, hence the self preservation comment and he can't be forced to fight by fans as Ali did. He keeps on barking boxing is a deadly sport and pac is one of the deadly ones.

I think a lot of people will be watching that fight because of Manny as well so no revenue is not a good deal. Sure Pac ain't getting Floyd money but Pac still has a solid following and is considered a star around the world. Fight should have been better negotiated. Both of these guys are not trying to fight. In 09 Floyd agreed to 50/50 and random testing and then Manny said no and fought Clottey. Now Floyd don't want to do 50/50 or split the revenue. The thing is that these guys have been talking through the media like they wanted the fight so bad that everything came out in the wash. Manny Pacquiao should have kept his mouth shut about taking less and just said look! Fight is 50/50 or no fight. He gave Floyd another excuse to make a fuss. Well, that's that! Nothing to see here everybody move along.

What is your point? Most boxers of his caliber do this.

Not really, a lot of people found distaste for an athlete who ain't really pushing himself to be great. Athletes are for the Glory and money of it, but not like Floyd it's only money.

After all, as he said..Floyd quote: " I'm not fighting who fans wants me to fight look what happened to Ali" Translation: Pac is a legit threat, not fighting someone who can be a legit challenge boxing is a deadly sport. That's ****** to do that. It's self preservation baby!

This interview has put major dent in his stocks for sure.

I was just defending the other poster for calling him a boxer promoter. And your reaction was, "Floyd is not the promoter for ****s sake!" If Pacquiao is the one that gives Bradley his guarantee for the fight then I apologize. But that's going to be pretty hard to do since it's Top Rank that gives Pacquiao his guarantee. Top Rank gave Marquez his guarantee, Mayweather gave Ortiz his guarantee. Top Rank is giving Bradley his guarantee, Mayweather is giving Cotto his guarantee.

floyds paying pac 40mill out of his own money right?... plus all expenses? its pretty much a mayweather promotion aint it?

I understand what you are saying but I do not think you understand the point that I was trying to make. We are arguing two different things, good day sir.
