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

[Uns]

In a way, I feel bad for both these guys.

They can't live without hearing each other's names CONSTANTLY.

True but they get paid millions so **** them.

[DARKSEID]

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!

you sound scared that Pacquaio's gonna beat him

and Cotto is getting a cut of the PPV- read up on other news sources other than floyd's mouth. Thank you.

Damn it floyd just take the 50/50... why was it ok before but not now.

Even after Pacquiao outsold him in their last fights. That's some bull****.

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?

There's only one variable in that equation being unreasonable.

We don't have all the facts of everything that has been said in negotiations. So which ever variable you choose to go with is your opinion and you can go with that.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

nobody in his right mind would say that a 50-50 split is not fair unless the other is scared to fight...

chicken floyd should give the boxing fans the chance to see this fight considering that pacman knocked cotto out and he did not...if he's sure to beat pacman easy, then he should fight pacman...

And you sound STUPID....If i'm making 100 dollars to fight & you're making 10 dollars to fight. How the hell can you expect to make 50 dollars to fight me when your take is NO WHERE near it? Pac's demands are not logical at all...

Cotto guarantee was 8mill plus a small percent of the ppv. PBF shouldn't retire he can fight Martinez.

All those roids he`s taking is having an effect on his brain.He`s not getting no 50 percent cause Floyd aint no idiot or no sucka.if he was he would be in Pacquiao position getting pimped by Arum and Micheal Koncs.

Even if their PPV was equal he still would deserve 50 percent cause Floyd finances his own fights and Pacquiao does`nt finance his own fights, his fghts are finance by Arum cause that his promoter.Floyd does`nt have a promoter,he just pays Goldenboy a fee every fight to handle the logistics of the promotions.

Dont you get it it dossent matter if God himself where mannys promotor, the 50/50 split means that the get even money and from that money the pay there promotor there cut.

The 50/50 spilt dossent mean that Pac gets 50 % of the total money earned from the fight, its means that he splits the 50% with Arum.

Floyd is simply unfair and just plain arrogant not accepting the 50/50 split since the are both just as popular, only a person that is dumb or ******ed would argue with that.

Option 1: Refuse the fight because you want a higher percentage. And miss out on the highest selling PPV fight of all time.

Option 2: Make the most money you've ever made in a fight, be part of a historic event, and if you win cement your legacy by beating the guy who beat everyone you avoided and be set for life. With the possibility of a second payday in a rematch and third in a trilogy.

The only reason "money" mayweather would pick option 1 is because he's not sure he can win- like the other times he's ran away from a fight. Including martinez.

Mayweather vs Pac will not be the highest selling PPV fight of all time. There will never be a fight that breaks the MAYWEATHER vs oscar fight. It may come close but it wont break it so chill with the fantasy.

Mayweather is the draw, he is the undefeated fighter who brings the most money to the table. All manny is to floyd is another opponent who is looking for a payday off his name PERIOD. Manny didn't beat the opponents floyd avoided...he beat the opponents floyd destroyed and lost to a bunch of NO NAME FIGHTERS who's careers didn't make it past the a$$ whippings they put on manny.

IF manny was serious about this fight it would've already happened. First it was 50/50 but he refused to take the test. Then it was i'll take less but will do the drug test with another company outside the country. Now its okay we'll do the same test but I want 50/50..

damn...HOW MANY DUCK MOVES CAN ONE GUY MAKE?
