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

[junior gong]

So the email that Bob Arum sent to ESPN and every other boxing writer that they werent interested in a Mayweather fight didnt happen? The 40 mil dollar offer staight up is not a great offer, anybody with sense can see that Mannys giving up too much, but to pull out completely is a sign to me that TR is not intrested.
You see this in sports all the time, especially in boxing and the NFL. One side puts an offer on the table and the other rejects it and around in circles we go until both sides can come to an agreement. In 2009 TR pulled out of the fight with the 50/50 split on the table so is it really just about the money? I dont think so.

You would have to be a bumsniff to somehow turn around Floyd saying he wants all the money into it being top ranks fault. Are you serious??

[The Big Dunn]

Indefensible. Still, at least he has pretty much told us all what we(except bumsniffing *****'s) all really knew, and thats he wants nothing to do with fighting Manny.

Funny, it sounded to me like he said he wanted to fight Manny but he wants the money split in his favor. If he doesn't get the split he wants, no fight. Thats the same position manny is taking. Yet he wants the fight and floyd doesn't. Huh?

[flat1985]

Too bad he didn't say that... in December... you know, when he made that official statement, initially... that he'd be willing to take the lesser cut to make the fight.

WOW you are still defending him? You and Yesir are the definition of ****riders jeeeez

Manny said 45/45 and the winner gets the extra 10% so **** knows where you heard that from?

If you think keeping 100% of the ppv is reasonable, then good luck to you.

How is 40 million a good offer when Flyod will earn 3 times that??? You thick ****

So we should just sweep everything the guy and arum say under the rug... got it.

Is keeping all the money for yourself greedy. Yes. IS offering $40 mil flat gonna get the fight done. No. Of course it is a substantial amount more than manny has ever earned but given the expectations of the fight a rather low offer.

That said, Manny's point , which people on this board accept is, without the split I want no fight. Ok cool. Floyd's saying the exact same thing. So if we are going to criticize floyd for being too greedy no problem.

But to say one guy wants fight and one guy doesn't when both take the same position is irrational. Both are being greedy, its just floyd is up front about it.

[revs1227]

He just contradicted himself ..now we k.ow for a fact hes the only reason
