Comments Thread For: Hatton Urges Mayweather, Pacquiao To Do 50-50 Fight

Floyd may do slightly better numbers, but in a way you do have to put aside your ego. But I understand he probably wants to hustle as much as he can.

its not like floyd outdo pac by a landslide so yes floyd needs to set his ego aside. prove to the world whos the best by whooping that pinoy's butt.

I wonder how the $40M and no PPV revenue would affect Bob Arum? If Manny agreed to the $40M sum, would Arum then only get his percentage of that $40M and no PPV revenue, or would he get his slice of the 40 and a slice of PPV money?

I recall Arum in an interview saying that of the PPV money allotted to Top Rank, MannyP had negotiated an 80-20 split, pert of which went to Pacquiao's promotion company. I don't remember if it was only for that fight or for all fights. Perhaps they negotiate separately for each fight based on expected revenue.

Floyd will be scouting the retirement home for his next opponent soon.

Everyone says Floyd's stance is wrong.

Can you name me one credible person involved in boxing saying Floyd is being resonable with his demands of a $40 million flat fee offer?

I agree floyd's $40 mil offer was trash and you know that so you bring that up rather than debate my point.

Manny was prime when he turned down the offer in dec 2009. Shane and ODH both also refused to fight floyd when they were prime.

If manny wants the ****r of being in the largest fight in history (to date) he has the option to take less to make the fight happen. SInce floyd already has achieved this, and took short money to do so, Its niether unreasonable or unfair to ask or expect manny to do the same.

Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, Marquez 3, Bradley, Marquez 4...

Man, how can you let these fights happen without stepping up and not attempt to insert yourself in between any of these fights if you were Floyd the best? Mind you, this is a fight which the majority of boxing fans around the world predict Floyd would win.

No Ricky, thank you. I don't want this fight anymore. The wear and tear is already showing on Pac. This is no longer interesting to watch.

i guess u miss the part where manny said he's fine with or without floyd.. LOL.. what i dont get is since manny is such an easy work no skill oppoent why would floyd turn down making the most money?? so floyd walks away with zero and thats fine with him??? i mean im only saying this because floyd's image is surrounded by making $$$$..

Floyd took less to make the biggest fight in history, Manny's turn now, IMO. Manny taking less still gets him his highest payday and the glory that comes with being in the biggest fight in history.

If manny wants to make history he can take less to do it.

yeah and il ask you again, was floyd selling the kind of ppv numbers manny is now before he fought de la hoya?

it used to be "if it makes dollars, it makes sense."

[The Big Dunn]

Floyd was not as big as a draw that Manny is today when he took that crap contract from Oscar.
I don't even think Floyd had sold over 500k PPV event at that point.

$40m might be Manny's highest payday, but Floyd will most likely get his highest payday for this fight as well.

True floyd didn't go over 400k ppv sales. But ODH did't go over 1.4 mil. The fight went to 2.4 mil. Floyd deservescredit in some way for taking ODH so high right?

AGree manny is a much bigger draw then floyd was at the time. That doesn't mean he can't take less. It means he shouldn't have to take sooo much less (eg $40 mil no ppv), IMO.

Manny refused good deal in dec 2009. Now to make fight he has to agree to something not as good. He pays for turning down a fair deal over OST. Is there anything wrong with that?

[Carpe Diem]

i hope someone cuts that ****s throat this season

As much as most of us wants that to happen, it's not going to happen anytime soon. In this show, no one is safe, but the good guys are more likely to die first.

[iNDOSMOKE]

zero > millions come on now floyd!! go get that easy money boyeeeee!

team pac offer floyd winner takes the bigger slice, since floyd's gonna win anyways because manny is one dimensional easy work, this is not a fair offer to u??
