Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Only Floyd Mayweather is Preventing Our Fight!

[TBOGGS78]

Floyd is the king of fight ducking and cherry picking....He will forever be known as the man who was scared to death to fight Pacquiao and did everything to NOT fight him! Other than his half baked fan boys the world knows why the fight isnt happening

If FLOYD is the king of cherry picking and ducking then how do you explain PAC/BRADLEY. PAC was offered FLOYD/MARQUEZ/COTTO/BRADLEY and he choose BRADLEY who out of the four poses the least threat. I'd really like to know who FLOYD has ducked? I mean he's beat the same fighters PAC has except for MARGARITO and if you think MARGARITO can beat FLOYD your out of your mind.

Have they really or have they been talking for the last three years. You cant believe everything somebody says just beacuse you like them as a fighter the same goes with FLOYD fans, but I do know this if PAC was serious about taking the test why doesnt he do the testing againast BRADLEY to show he's really serious about doing RANDOM testing and stop saying "I agreed to the testing" If you actually do the testing then you back up what you say other then that your just talking.

No they haven't. How can you be suing a guy and trying to conduct business with him? Those two things seem mutually exclusive.

Couldnt agree more, you want to take me to court and get my money and then you want me to give you more of my money for fighting you. GTFOH What's funny about that is other people like Maliginaggi have flat out said they think PAC is taking something but you havent took them to court.

[maguirre]

Whatever. Blame all you want.

Forget about Arum/Pac.

Martinez vs Mayweather would be interesting. Make the fight happen, Floyd.

Just to clarify the money situation. Floyd was guarenteed 32 mil, Cotto 8 mil, Alvarez and Mosley each got a guarenteed amount. Let's say it totals up to about $50 million. Now that was guarenteed, so every fighter was going to get that much and whatever is left over of the $90 million or so in ppv and whatever the live gate made is split according to whatever the contracts stated and to promotional companies and so forth. With that in mind $85 million to Floyd seems a bit of a stretch.

With Pacquiao getting 6 mil base salary means guarenteed amount. Whatever the fight makes, let's say 75 million is split according to the contracts. With Bradley making a 5 million base (about 5 times what he has ever made) and no other big names on the card. I think Pac is going to get the majority of what is left over after Uncle Bob reaches his hand in the jar. So he is looking at a giant payday as well.

So without knowing the fighters contracts and exact fight revenues this whole arguement about 50/50 and guarenteed money is pointless.

[mrvelez]

Manny and Floyd both make well over the guarenteed amount that is reported. And no one ever gives completely accurate facts about fight revenue.

[ADP02]

What part dont you get , its a business and Floyd pulls in more revenue than Manny , that means in a negotiation Manny dont get 50% , its not saying what the split is , its not saying Floyd gets it all , its just saying Manny dont get 50% .

At Cottos post fight , Floyd said Manny dont deserve 50% based on the figures , thats very easy to understand that it would be negotiated on , but 50% is out !

Dont harp on bullsheeet kid , Manny needs to " negotiate " a fair percentage based on all the figures thats the only FAIR way of doing it outside of your kid world , just like Schaefer said , let the expert independent numbers men work out the split !

You are not getting it. Floyd didn't even try to come close to what was reasonable. He clearly said in interviews that he wanted ALL THE PPV money. Like I said, turn this around and ask yourself what you would have said if Manny wanted more than 50/50 .... you would be saying that Manny doesn't want the fight. Right?

You guys have said that Manny didn't want the fight using excuses that were resolvable, yet you are going to tell us all that you don't see what we are all seeing in Floyd putting up the roadblock "I, FLOYD, DESERVES ALL THE PPV MONEY"

Cool story!

[gquezvas]

Geez Pac, I hate to say it but DAMN MAN! How in the hell are you going to go back to the first round of negotiations and bring up stuff????? That ship has sailed and during that timeframe you had more leverage than you do now, which you definitely dont have NOW! Additionally, you recently said you would take less money to make the fight happen - Roach, Arum or Ariza didnt say it - YOU DID - FMM capitalized on it and now you about face on it. Pac, FMM is in the #1 spot, its not spots 1A and 1B anymore, Floyd 1, you are 2, plain and simple. Be a man of your word, take less, make it happen and IF you win, then you are in the #1 for a rematch. Otherwise, accept the fact that you are the holdup to making this happen. PS Next time STFU about how much $ you will take and negotiate it in private LMFAO.

Why only blame Pacquiao? If it mattered to Mayweather then he should be willing to do an even split. Don't give me this crap that one deserves more then the other because we don't get a cut from it so why should it matter? As long at the fight we want it made, right? Stop trying to say Pacquiao is not worth an even cut. It's about respect and what you've done.
When De La Hoya fought Trinidad. Arum wanted to give Tito a 75/25 split. Tito said no, I've been champion longer. I have more defenses and I've been the welterweight to beat. DLH didn't argue to much longer and Tito got his 10 mil. If the greedy fighter really wants it and wants to show and prove his worth then here's the shot to do so. It seems that Mayweather has excuses after excuse once a stipulation has been met. Mayweather has had some really nice PPV but with the help of having Canelo fight the same night. How many PPV views would he do fighting Clotty?
Both sides are way to much into who and why. All I care for is when. To me the one who stalls a fight is the one who doesn't want it.
For the ones who will bring up that Pacquiao originally didn't agree to take the test then realize who is Mayweather to be asking? Especially at that point. I mean let me ask you would you want your equal (not your boss) to be telling you what to do? Pacquiao has done better vs the same fighters. Pacquiao has taken more risk against fighters Mayweather literally turned down. Pacquiao has fought outside of Las Vegas where the rules change for handwraps and where certain hand medicine might not be legal.
So if your going to point the finger then maybe point it elsewhere
