Comments Thread For: Mayweather, Pacquiao Top Highest Paid Athletes List

[Reloaded]

I got it. Floyd doesn't have to fight the numero uno in boxing. If Floyd and his fans don't want to see the fight, why should others insist on it? I'm completely at peace with it bro, believe me. I don't think it will ever happen anyway. You guys won. Floyd beat Pacman outside the ring. I'm happy for you.

Your the dummy that wants him to fight Sergio and not Manny , all of a sudden its not Manny anymore its Sergio , Manny is a hype job and and his fans know it , find another wagon to jump on kid that ones wheels fell off lol .

I thought that expired, and even if it's still in effect, GBP's cut will come from Arum's 27.5% so Manny's bottom line is unaffected.

GBP is entitled to 5% of PAC's money NOT Top Ranks. GBP filed a federal lawsuit in 2010 stating Arum is ballooning PAC's expenses so GBP would receive less money.

No matter which side of the soap opera you're on. I think most logical thinking people would agree that the expiration date is fastly approaching on a Mayweather-Pacquaio showdown. Its taking every slice of PR spin imaginable on Top Rank and HBO's behalf to continue the illusion of the indestructable Pacman. Mayweather is in jail wasting away. And its a very good possibilty that at least one, if not both of these guys will lose their next fight and render their long awaited showdown a crossroads match. The BS needs to stop on both ends. If not, their fight will be much like the Jones-Hopkins rematch. Instead of crowning the best of an era like it should, will end up a joke pitting to washed up legends that can't beat anyone else relevant, so they finally fight each other.

The fight expired when Pacquiao couldn't beat a 38 year old lightweight, it was then buried when he couldn't beat a 1 legged light welter.

floyd is not the highest paid athlete in the world. just please stop with that ignorant nonsense.

tiger woods & lionel messi make more than floyd. You flo mos are so gullible when it comes to floyd its just so sad.

You do know floyd has to break off oscar & gbp a piece right? You do know satellite & dish companies take about 50% of the ppv money right?


but yea floyd took home 85 mill then couldnt get a better attorney to keep him out of jail for shaking his baby moma?

I said years ago that it would come to this... it's what happens when a fighter is all smoke and mirrors mixed with media hyped that has been produced by Bob Arum, the man that has an agenda and Mayweather has never been on it. Again, I said this years ago and only now has it been ever so clear to the fans of the sport.

At least everyone knows Bob's intentions. Too many people underestimate him and his abilities. The man has been making fights for decades. A lot longer than most have been living. Not one single fighter can stop him from doing what he does best. Like the pac-tards who overly rate Pac, they are overly rating Mayweather on his abilities to stop Bob from doing his job, which is to make fights. Sorry, Floyd's good but not that good. If Bob wants a fight he GETS a fight.

Like I said years ago, when Bob is ready we will get a Mayweather vs Pac fight. In the meantime Bob's agenda to milk Manny is ever so clear with the JMM III and Bradley fights. To then make JMM IV and Bradley II fights. Not to mention the horrible and disgraceful in house **** fights with Clottey, Margarito and Mosley.

edit: this is dedicated to eddy (he knows)! His life is in the slumps.

Does this only include Manny nd Floyd's last 2 fights? Cuz Manny fought 3 times in a yr and Floyd fought just twice. Either way, good to see Floyd doing so well for himself, only top athlete without an endorsement deal and he's still putting up numbers like 30mil more than the next guy. Good news for boxing to have these two guys at the top.
