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

[The Big Dunn]

When PAC said he'll take less him and bob have their own date in mind. Floyd comes out of nowhere and demand may 5th or no fight. U expect manny to agree to that? U seriously on floyds nutts this bad?? this is Floyd's way of trying to be the boss. Floyd can be his own boss but who is he to be tellin people what to do??

I have no problem with you being mad so long as you were as mad when Bob did this with cowboy stadium. You can't have it both ways.

Either way manny said he'd take less than 50/50 so floyd saying no 50/50 shouldn't be a big deal.

Floyd is a clown but what's worse are the fools that actually stick up for him. Floyd vs. Pacquiao is a 50/50 fight, any logical reasonable human being can understand this. Outside Floyd's 2 million buys years ago, their numbers are within the same ballpark, usually 1 million buys and I believe Pacquiao does better gate $, so 50/50 is the only fair split unless they do 45/45 with the winner getting the other 10.

Regardless of all that has happened and who duck who, the only fact is that today, the fight isn't happening because Floyd doesn't want it to happen and he does not care about it cause he'll continue getting paid elsewhere.

Mayweather Sounds Like An Absolute Idiot!

Have to take care of my family, have bills to pay, the way I'm structured... If indeed he's the highest paid athlete like he says he is, and he isn't, why isn't his family already taken care of???? How much money does he need???? He tries to act so educated, and practical, like he really has a plan in place... He acts like he's really "done the numbers, and it just doesn't make good business sense" to him. He's an idiot. He's embarrassing everytime he opens his mouth. Wants to be a wannabe gangsta with all the mansions, the bling, the entourage, like his gangsta sidekick, Fiddy Cent. He doesn't have a clue, he's not credible, he's no legend of Boxing. He's never going to be held in the same regard as a Ray Robinson, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, or Duran. Those guys were the original Super Fights; their fights were " Events". They fought the best, in their primes, and let money take care of itself.

I personally dont think 50/50 is fair but the 100% PPV revenue is not right considering both are big PPV draws. I thought 50/50 was fair and i was behind it till Pac LOST to JMM. Once that happened it wasnt a 50/50 fight anymore.

Some true clarity in a swamp full of ***** crap. Well done.

No 50 50 because I'm the highest paid because i keep 100% of the PPV. ya...OKAY
are those supposed to be reasons? LMAO[/QUOTE] Hell yeah when you get to that level and are accustomed to making the bigger purse and keeping the back end revenue why would you give that up for another opponent that you don't feel is on your level. Close but no cigars!!!

50-50 is fair - even floyd knows it - he just "can't agree to it" what a *****. anyone that puts a dime in floyds pocket by buying his ppvs has no true love of this sport. thats really how i feel - and il explain why.
I wanna watch floyd v. cotto; BUT. floyd dont care about his fans or the sport - only himself. I wont help support that type of behavior, bc otherwise, wat incentive do fighters have to make the best wen fans will buy the fights regardless. until floyd agrees to 50/50 - im not buyin his fights.
If he agreed and the fight still doesnt get made (bc we know Arum dont want it as much as floyd dont) then thats a different story

[Osirus022]

He has a lot of good points. Can't blame him. If Pacquiao was his own boss nd didn't have Arum, the fight would be made in a blink of an eye, just look @ Mayweather vs Cotto.
