Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Talks Pacquiao, Retirement, Jail, More

[Fetta]

The debate is Pac vs. Mayweather. Pac wants the fight, Mayweather doesn't. Simple as that. If Manny wants it, Arum can't hold it back.

P.S. I'm not a Pacquiao fan, but I can't stand Mayweather for multiple reasons. The biggest reason is that he keeps dodging this fight. Blatantly.

So then you agree that Pac doesnt want it. Three years and Pac still doesnt have a voice. "Ill take the tests Bob" or "i want the fight bob make it happen" or "its not up to my promoter its up to me" but none of these have happened so keep trying

No it's not besides the point clown....My point is Manny Pacquioa's biggest purse is being laid out on the table by Floyd Mayweather (40 million dollars), if Manny can go make more money for 36 minutes of work fighting someone else (Which he CANNOT), then let him go and do so.....

Floyd is going to exceed that regardless of who he fights based on the fact that he gets paid as the prize fighter as well as the promoter.....

Manny's problem is that he wants Floyd money but he cant get no where close to what Floyd is paying em fighting anybody else where Floyd being the more saavier guy, is going to get paid more than that regardless.....

It's a known fact Pacquioa is going broke and getting ****** dry by his promoter and his entourage so is it in his best interest to take the best deal on the table or continue to do the same amount of work to make less based on his false sense of pride???

Floyd holds the best cards based on the fact that he's getting paid more as a prize fighter than Pacquioa does, and on top of that he's getting paid off the frickin T-shirts and hot dogs.....so from a business standpoint, they both make more money fighting eachother (even though Floyd still gets paid more in this scenario), but Floyd gets paid more regardless of whether it's Manny or not so Floyd is in a better position to dictate the terms.....This is business! Pacquioa can either keep running out of options or take the deal that's on the table....

Let's not forget that months ago Pacquioa was quoted as saying that he'll take less money to fight Floyd and that's because he knows that Floyd has the upper hand, and also that he needs that money because financially he's a disaster and the people around him are "raping" his bank account.

Eventually Pacquioa will have to take the fight if he wants to earn an amount as high as 40 million because he CANNOT get that anywhere else and Floyd gets paid more than that for every one of his fights dating all the way back to De La Hoya because he's put himself in a better position. You can't knock him for that can you?? Well, not if you're thinking like a businessman.

If I'm kffering you 40 million for a fight and I know that you HAVE NOT, CANNOT, AND WILL NOT, get that anywhere else then based on what do you deserve more?? False pride?? Ok well then keep putting in the same amount of work to make less.

Lol, I didnt read all that garbage. There's no need to after the first sentence.

Let me break this down for you: I will do it so it's easy to understand.

This is a 50/50 fight. ****ing period. If you think Manny should take 40 million of a potentially 150 million dollar PPV money pool, you are about as ****** as Mayweather himself.

Stop and see the light. It's just another way for Mayweather to not fight. He's even admitted this. Just accept it man. Stop taking up for a jerk like Floyd.

3.0 million buys @ $65.00 = $195 million. And the fight could do more buys than that.

40 million is a ****in insult.

Do you really believe what your saying? If Manny wanted this fight don't you think that he HIMSELF would be pushing for it hardcore when they put the mic in his face every time he wins a fight. Why not just do what Shane did to Floyd after Floyd beat Marquez? Why not be aggressive about it like say Sergio Martinez was against Chavez.Jr? Why does he say he will take a smaller purse then turns around and says it has to be a 50-50 after Arum says so? The fact that Manny is now saying he doesn't need Floyd tells you what(Same with Floyd)? He doesn't care about making this fight happen. They both aren't ****** and they both know they will make more money not fighting each other then doing so because they both keep winning and when one loses the stock goes down for that fighter. Its why TopRank loves to rob other fighters to protect their stars.

Do whatever you feel is the best use of your time.."..the fact that you didnt debate anything I said in regards to me breaking down Pac's hyped up career insures me that you concur.....Im chillin and my money comes residually so I can so this all day

I will just say this to dispute you:

Pac's resume is far superior to Floyd's. I don't think that's even debatable. So if you think Pac's is inflated, then Floyds is worse in that aspect.

[spoonwars]

he should of stayed active when the division was hot instead of retiring because the options seemed to hard

FIomos seem to forget this. You can't blame them. Their ignorance aids their support for Mayweather's ridiculous claims. They try to copy everything Mayweather says or does, including Mayweather's inability to count his own unique opponents.

[D4thincarnation]

Funny how everybody was saying this is a 50/50 fight only a few months ago.

Then cult leader Floyd announces it not 50/50 anymore and he deserves 100% of the PPV money, and the blind followers believe this now and completely forget about if Pacquiao takes the test the fight happens line.

It is shocking how gullible these people are.

If Floyd said the moon was made out of cheese theses guys would believe that too.

No, lol. As I've stated a half dozen times on here already, I think Mayweather doesn't want it. That's why the fight hasn't taken place already. Get with the program.

As all fighters can do, Pacquiao can insist on facing one guy and it will be done. If that's Mayweather, it will be done.

Are you this naive or really that blinded by Floyd's mouth?

This from someone who says Vitali has a good resume.

"UNBEATEN BOXER PIONEERS WAYS TO MAKE MONEY HAND OVER FIST"

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/17/sp...pagewanted=all


"LAS VEGAS — On Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will make tens of millions of dollars for an hour’s worth of work, if that. He will be paid for what happens inside the ring and outside it, paid far more than any other boxer fighting today"

This is why Pacquioa has to accept the 40 million dollars, simply because he CANNOT get that same amount of money anywhere else for 36 minutes of boxing and simp,y because as the article states, Floyd is juggernaut of boxing when it comes to making money regardless of opponent.

You do know that Manny's last couple of fights sold more PPV's that Floyd's right?
