Comments Thread For: Pacquiao on Mayweather-Cotto, Stands Firm on 50/50 Split

[reeflegend]

Is it a coincidence that the ONLY one opponent floyd did better than Pac, was also at a CW with a bloated JMM and FLoyd comes in overweight to add insult to injury. Fights hatton at 147 where hatton said he couldnt perform there after fighting Collazo. He said his punches were bouncing off Collazo and he couldnt bully him like he could the 140lbs guys.

Yes so the reality still stands that FLoyd fans should try and convince Floyd to fight and beat the man who beats opponents better than him. Thats the least floyd should do before he retires again.

That's not a valid point saying who beats opponents better than him...and the weight thing is not a good argument cause Oscar Cotto and Margo all had catch weights where they were drained and its not an excuse, fighters agree to these fights and prepare for that weight.....comparing fighters the way they win in fights is like comparing pitchers in baseball...I'm a fan of both fighters, and mayweather beat all is guys in his career very convincingly except for the first Castillo fight..,.other then that there is no argument..and while I'm playing devils advocate, he man handled JMM ...it was a pure skill fight..

Comparing fighters fights against the same opponent is never a good argument, you can say the same about Cotto with Floyd, or Oscar, Shane, and Hatton..it's not a good way to win an argument cause it's not valid

This a 50/50 fight they pull the same kind of #s..this ppv will be insane cuz u got 2 other boxers with a huge following. Even mosley pull non hardcore fans..i dnt think money want anything after getting rought up by cotto slower not as hard punching southpaw..he should fight pac or martinez or retire for good with that big empty space where mannys name should go On his record..both should stay the hell away from 154 unless there fighting the main man MARTINEZ

This fight really should be a 50/50 split, with both taking home oodles of money. There shouldn't even be a damn argument about split, both should be jumping at the chance of taking home so much money.

But we know what Floyd is like. And there's not a chance of him relenting. And so Pac is gonna have to be the one who takes less. **** it, we're not getting any of it. OK, yes Manny is.....but he's gonna get a ****load of money regardless of the split.

Floyd: Buy my fight ticket and you will receive a free buffet, a free room, and a free limo ride from the airport. How about 20% off...I'm desperate to fill the seats up.

Its called marketing you idiot in the world of big business its a bit different than getting somebody to pick your tuk tuk .

Pac SAID he would take less and changed his tune when it was put to him , he also said NO to 50/50 and a test , what is wrong with you morons !

Pac said he would take less. Did he say less than 50-50? Did he say less than 70-30? LMAO!

He didnt say a figure he said he would take less than Mayweather , that means less than 50/50 , and he reneged on that !

Pac also said NO to 50/50 and a test !

Seems Pac dont want the fight !

[ADP02]

So let me get this straight..

Floyd just made a guaranteed 32 million dollars including all the PPV vs Cotto. And Cotto only took home 8 million dollars.

Pac can't be serious about 50/50 lol he just can't be because he's numbers aren't equal to floyd. To get 50/50 that means you are equivalent to your opponent and he's not.


Floyd just retire....u dont need him or this fight!

lol...blame it on floyd? Thought manny fought for the people and was willing to take less..

Why not Damn it Pac just take less?

Can't believe that there are some Floyd fans that would rather have Floyd retire than make it 50/50 ..... man if Manny gets $0 but I get to see the fight, I will still be OK .... and probably enjoy it more knowing that Manny will be p$ssed off so much that he would give every single ounce of himself just to beat Floyd.


As for who to blame? Presently Floyd since he is not making sense with his "No PPV money for Manny" .... and I thought Floyd said "TAKE THE TEST AND WE HAVE A FIGHT"

Thats seems to be whats going on. Manny wants 50/50 to take random OST. If This is in fact the case, floyd should just make it public. The great thing is since Petersen tested positive, the commissions may adopt the "floyd" testing model anyway.
