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

[radioraheem]

guys, the point isn't that it should or shouldn't be 50/50 (I think it should be 55/45 for Floyd). The point is that pacquiao shot himself in the foot when he said he'd take less. You can argue it should be 50/50 all you want but it's pacquiao's mistake by saying he'd take less and then asking for 50/50. Why would Floyd agree to that?

another thing is, for the de la hoya fight, I believe Floyd made 25 mil while Oscar got 58...and Floyd won that fight too. He paid his dues in situations like that so now that he's on top, he wants more money. Let's be honest, despite what this article says, Floyd (not Manny)is the one regarded as p4p king, especially by his peers. I put a lot more stock in what other boxers say about this fight than fans etc. Cuz those guys actually know. And in this case, every boxer I've seen asked who's better has said Floyd without hesitation.

His big mistake was saying he would take less to make the fight. I agree. Then his other mistake, which was more costly, was losing to Marquez.

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??

Winner takes greater share leaves far too much open by way of cheating.

DLH got the ring size, got the gloves used, got the venue and set the terms for the money. Floyd agreed to it all.

Back in 2009, Floyd said yes to everything with the exception of blood testing and we got more excuses that a ********** in church. How's Bob's new stadium coming along? That was then, this is now. Floyd is undisputed #1 when it comes to money making potential now. On top of that, he is giving Manny, far and away, his best earning potential. Is it pride that is leaving him to not take that offer? They aren't equal in stature so the split shouldn't be equal either. More and more excuses from Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao.

what, take 40? floyd said he isnt budging from 40 mil. does he really want the fight?

He said he isn't budging from no 50/50 not $40 mil no ppv, unless I missed something. I think he does. Look at my sig. I want manny to do same thing floyd did to get ODH in the ring.

People have to be logical. The way to determine the purse split is to look at the PPV and gate numbers for their last common opponent. What did Floyd's numbers do, as opposed to what Manny's numbers done. If they are not on even terms, there should be no 50/50. If he has done less with numbers he should get less. If they count DLH and Hatton numbers against Manny's with the same fighters, it would be easy to say that Manny will never get a 50/50. Manny should've fought Floyd on 3-13-10 when Floyd agreed to the 50/50 even though he was armed with comparison numbers. Manny hasn't broke 1 million PPVs prior to TR piggybacking on Floyd. There's nothing that you guys can say regarding the fact of major piggybacking. There were other fighters out there that Pacquiao could've fought but he had to go after the same fighters Floyd faced. It was ok up until they went after Shane Mosley. Everyone seen and heard the chatter of Mosley being washed up but they went after him anyway.

this is floyd and pac, u're telling me the judges will cheat floyd out??? LOL!! come on now... thought u guys say pac gets special treatment because he's the cash cow, well from u guys floyd is the BIGGER cash cow so why would he get cheated when he will bring more money????

[maguirre]

Floyd ain't budging at this point. I don't see Pac budging either. That means it will drag on for more years to come. Go figure who the world would blame? Both maybe. Pac settles in his own country and Floyd in his. Guess who will get the flak more?

That's how it's going to be realistically.

winner gets the bigger slice. how can u argue with that?? manny is gonna lose so after all manny did agree to take less LOL.. so why wont floyd and his fans agree to this?? u havent give me any good reason u just keep repeating urself LOL.. manny wont take a flat $40mil so u can stop repeating that. what i dont get is why turn down the winner get the bigger split??

I answered that, because floyd is promoting fight in part and is putting up his own money to get return and profit on his investment. Manny is not doing this, TR is, and manny gets paid from them.

Never said manny should take $40 mil deal. I said less. Stop pretending to be ******.

Think manny would make that offer to JMM? of course not so stop. Manny can take less than 50/50 to make fight.

[iNDOSMOKE]

winner gets the bigger slice is the only logical way of going about this.. and since manny is going to lose that means he's gonna take less after all... so lets get this fight signed!!

yeah and thats 2 totally different situations. floyd wasnt selling the ppv numbers de la hoya was, where as pacquiao is selling similar numbers as floyd is now. so that comparison is poor.

you are mistaken pal.

"my offer is what it is and it wont change" "40 mil is what you are getting, either you take it or you leave it"

so floyd win he gets the bigger split.. whats not fair about this??? are u implying that floyd might lose?? winner get the bigger split, manny is going to lose so he's gonna end up with taking less.
