Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Pacquiao: No 50-50 and I'm Not Budging!

[D4thincarnation]

Neither of them should be accepting a winner takes more" sort of deal because there is too much corruption as far as commissions and judging goes.

Floyd next excuse not to fight Pacquiao.

How can I be sure I will get a fair deal?

I want my daddy to be the ref and the judges should be 50 cent, Shantel and Ellerbe or no fight, I'm not budging.

If you are the roughest, take these judges

No he didn't say that... all you're doing is confusing semantics with what's actually been said. He'd take the lesser share. If each fighter stands to make $50 million [at least], what's the issue with $40 million, considering guy stated he'd take the lesser share to make the fight happen.

Still hasn't even signed on the dotted line for testing.

Mayweather wants 100% of the PPV revenue, though.

And obviously, that's incredibly unreasonable. No one is going to accept that.

Why does Floyd keep talking BS? THe fact is he needs Pac more than Pac needs Floyd. Pac just wants to give the fans what they want, unlike Floyd.

Why wont Floyd do what it takes to get the fight made now? Pac agreed to OSDT which he never wanted to do. Pac is more box office than Floyd. Dont floyd know people only want to see him get beat, they dont pay to watch his boring defensive style. They may appreciate it, but thats not what makes people pay to see him.
So he shouldnt keep boasting about that, its nothing to be proud of and certainly no basis for offering Pac less money.

Pac deserves the more money as he is the one people want to see fight. But Floyd dont care what people think and say about him, and that will be his undoing many years from now. He will have no legacy to speak of.

"Manny refused 50/50, the OST and the fight in Dec 09 when it would have done record breaking numbers. Manny has twice since fought in a state that by it's own admission doesn't even have a standard drug testing policy. We know Manny own country reported his net worth was only 26 million last year. Manny hired a auditing firm who Arum fired because they found out he was getting ripped off. The NSAC records payout sheet revealed Manny's guarantees don't support him being a 'Blockbuster' fighter. Manny is upset because the BIR in his country has repeatedly asked him for official documents to verify his tax claims which are inconsistent. Arum refuses to release Manny's numbers going forward. Manny lost to Marquez....

But Manny deseves a 50/50 split with Floyd?

Do you believe Arum is ripping him off, and if so how can you believe the number's he provided the public?

If he's lying to Manny, what makes you believe he's not lying to you?

Like I said, time reveals everything."

The Truck

I don't automatically believe Arum is ripping Pacquiao off. It's possible, but there are other reasonable explanations. Steve Kim wrote an article a couple months ago on how smart promoters report the lowest purse possible to the sanctioning bodies. No different than shrewd businessmen reporting lower earnings for tax purposes. Remember, Arum is a Harvard Law educated ***...and I say that as a compliment!

There's a reason why businessmen like Arum never make it to the Forbes' high earnings list! And it's not because they are making less!!

Floyd does the EXACT OPPOSITE and publicly over-exaggerates his income, which then draws attention from the IRS. Only insecure people brag about their ****!

He confirmed he was talking about the guarantees? When?

It's seems obvious to me that he was referring to the split.

Micheal Marley, who wrote the article also presumed he was referring to the split.

No he doesn't, Floyd needs this fight like a hole in his head, literally. It is about self preservation.

Not only will Pacquiao rob him of his faculties and years of his life he will also diminished his future earnings once that 0 goes.

Floyd made a wise choice in ducking Pacquiao, it's just isn't a good one for the boxing fans.

Fair enough.

Still, there's no surprise "I'll take less money" was interpreted as he'll take less of the PPV share. It would seem that an unspecific "I'll take less money" would mean that.

Of course, it still doesn't mean he'll settle for no PPV money. 50/50 on the PPV split is obviously reasonable and that's what it should be.

It was a random interview with a Filipino journalist that Mayweather fans jumped all over to defend Floyd's latest stance.... without realising what was actually said.

Yeah, I know.

Mayweather's latest stance (100% of the PPV revenue) is damn near impossible to defend. This is coming from one of the biggest fans of Mayweather.

But the original Micheal Marley article, that was unspecific, just simply "I'll take less money" could obviously be thought of as less of the PPV money.

But, it's confirmed now according to Pacquaio that he didn't mean that so I guess that article is irrelevant.
