pacquiao only worth $35 mill vs floyd

[al-Xander]

yes, manny is going to have to beg.

You still don't get it. No amount of begging will make Floyd fight Pacman. That's the bottom line. Like I said repeatedly, it's never been about anything other than Floyd's fear of losing to a one-dimensional midget. Floyd's excuses are insurmountable. Pac has to leave Arum, Pac has to join TMT and avenge his loses. Pac has to accept zero PPV. Pac has to KO Bradley, the list will never end. Fact that Pacman has to beg for the fight just proves my point. Like I said, we're just wasting saliva here. Floyd is determined to fight Khan to avoid Pac.

all of these came after manny turned down 50/50 over ped testing and $40 mil no ppv. you conveiently leave that out. te offers would never had to b made if manny accepted the fight in 09.

you are incapable of holding manny accountable for his actions.

when tim and jmm turned down manny for rematches you balmed them. when manny does it you balmed floyd.

when jmm/tim/mosley have to sign to tr to get a manny fight you say fine. when floyd says manny has to do it you cry foul.

floyd asks manny for ped testing-you say roadblock. manny asks rios for testing-you say fine.

Floyd reserves MGM on May 5th weekend, manny says he wanst to fight floyd, roach says it, arum says it, then they announce they are fighting on april 12th

Pac has to beg because he keeps refusing the fight. Blame him, stop blaming everyomne else..

The only mistake Pac made was not calling Floyd's testing bluff right away. Stop assuming Pac accepts Floyd's demands and Floyd says, "Let's get it on!" Wrong, faulty assumption.

He didn't because he didn't want to take the fight.

notice how you say call his bluff. it was a real request that would make the fight happen-so manny said no.

funny, floyd called manny's $10 mil weight penalty right away. soon as he did and said ok lets have pd testing too manny all the sudden didn't want to fight.

you have the right logic you should just apply it to manny since his past actions give a good indication of future moves.

Big D keeps treating Floyd a child. Negotiations don't happen in only one sitting. It fails the first time, you try again, and again and again. Arum, Pac tried for the second time with HBO exec's supervision, and Floyd ran away and spent a week with Don King. Big D would rather close his mind.

4 years ago i believed pac deserved a 50/50 split but two loses later and by the numbers the rios fight did I feel like we can all agree he is less popular and his numbers are not even close to Floyds.

those are the American numbers, the fight was a big success in China. of course, if you have a tune up fight outside of the country and put it on PPV it isn't going to do big numbers.

[John Barron]

50/50 was off the table when pacquiao opted to fight in a lengthy court battle that ultimately wasted everyone's time and a ****load of money on lawyer fees. then he lies about fighting for less money and shortly gets KTFO6'd. terrible business manners.

More blaming other people. How come manny didn't have to do this when Cotto refused the CW? Manny went on to other fights he didn't try again.

face it dude, the ride is over. Casual fans didn't buy this ****. Manny is in dangr of having chavez jr replace him as TR's cash cow and canelo pass him as #2 ppv star.

ALL because he keeps fighting bull**** JWW at ww. He refused to fight floyd and everyone but his fringe fans acknowledge it. You know it but have to frame it as "calling floyd's bluff" to save face.

Did you notice how low the replay #'s were? Fans didn't want to even watch it for free. Wake up dude. Manny is paying the price for refusing to fight floyd.

It would be nice if posters like you who claim to be "boxing" fans did the same thing.

probably be lucky to get $30 mil at this point

his stock has gone down ever since that knockout loss and his recent ppv flop

As a fan of both & boxing in general,Pac will get $40-45 million guaranteed with about 4-6% of PPV after cost for a total between $$ 48-52 million.

Pac's guaranteed $ for Rios was 14 million + 6-8 % over 300k ppv buys,or 21-23 million.

Arum knew that the PPV # would be around 500k for that fight and I heard Macao guaranteed 10-15 million for venue fee to have fight in China.

[IMDAZED]

Nothing shows that Pacquiao is worth $45m today. Or $35m. Or $25m.
