Comments Thread For: Schaefer on Mayweather's Options, a Pacquiao Deal, Arum

[Bee Keepz]

How is Schaefer even involved in this fight?

[4Corners]

Pacquiao proposed it and willing to do it and he doesn't gamble millions on sports like Mayweather. So you have to ask yourself, Why doesn't a GAMBLER like Mayweather place a bet on himself, even with all the variables?

You can also ask yourself, why can't we add up all the PPV and ticket revenue for both fighters starting with when they fought Oscar, average them out on a per fight basis, and see who makes more, to determine what the split is???

What's wrong with that??? If you think Pac does generate as mch money, this shouldn't be a problem.

Schaefer(hardest last name to spell) makes a ton of sense. Let's not go by emotions and ****, just calculate who makes more money then split it that way. Simple as that.

[I Love Jesus!]

I really don't give a crap who makes what. Just ****ing fight. Can believe so many fans buying into this soap oprea drama defending millionaire bank accounts. It's pathetic.

Based upon reported figures for both fighters, this will justify about a 60/40 ppv split in favor of Floyd. Will Floyd do it? It's a big difference between a 100/0 ppv split that Floyd is standing firm on.

No apparently Floyd has been saying 40 mill flat or 60-40, according to what Larry Merchant asked him in the ring after Cotto. He asked if Floyd would come down off his 60-40 split. Nothing will change as far as breaking news on this until Pac-Braldey is done and Floyd is out of jail.

But, adding up the revenue generated by both since they fought Oscar, and averaging them out, that's the most fair way to go about the split.

Can anyone explain how Floyd is in the position to offer Pac his $40mil purse when a fighters purse is guaranteed by the fighters promoter? I can understand negotiating the ppv profits, but the overall purse? Wouldnt that be between Arum and Pac while Floyd and his handlers handle his own guaranteed purse?

Well this is something that Floyd needs to clarify then. A 60/40 ppv split seems fair enough. Floyd has stated on national tv that he's not giving up any ppv profits to Pac though and instead wants to offer him a flat fee while he keeps all the profits.

So...Floyd wants 60-40..why would accept a potential 45% or at BEST 55%? lol. We might hate Floyd but that makes no sense To someone trying to definitively get more. All bixers know anything can happen, so no ody would agree to that except the person on the lower end of the stick. Why? Because 45% is better than 40%...

Anyway, the average of their fights makes some sense since that seems to be Floyd's argument. Lets wait in Pac to fight Bradley before we jump the gun too much.


And Bud...really? Everybody paid to see Cotto? And Oscar? Why is it that they only sold ao much with Floyd? Be a hater all you want, but Floyd has done big numbers against almost all his opposition...and he's the common denominator EVERY time. Canelo and Cotto sold this weekend? But De La Hoys and Cotto DIDNT sell the Pac fights?

<__<...we believe that argument cuz it makes so much sense. -troll face-

EDIT: Wow so many typos. Forgive them please. Typing from my phone.

Pacquaio actually became a pro before Floyd but Floyd was a star before pacquaio

[wengz2002]

Shaefer should not promote this none sense!

Only few people believed in this craziness! Mayweather and his team, Shaefer, se la Hoya, and those Flommos!
