Would Floyd accept a 55-45 split for Pac?

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Yes Ali's legacy would be intact without Frazier.
So are we suppose to forget about all the other great champions he beat?

Yes The Frazier fights are the fights he is most known for but.......take Frazier off of his resume and Ali still is a legend and HOF

But without Frazier, Ali would not be the no. 1 or 2 HW of all times. So no. Ali's legacy would clearly NOT be intact without Frazier.

So making sure that Arum gets no profit is more important for Floyd than his legacy? What does that tell you?

Forget legacy. Mayweather would rather lose out on tens of millions of dollars just because he doesn't want to give Bob Arum a cut?

Yeah ok....do people still buy this ****?

[Kuyukut]

i agree but floyd def won't agree to that. He's not trying to put money in arums pockets.

i'm sorry but i'm not buying that crap. fraud is not 12 years old, he's a 37 yrs old prize fighter and more than capable to weigh things into perspective.

my point is I think fraud has a hidden agenda that he's not telling his fans. i think he wants to retire undefeated and doesn't want to gamble his '0' record on fighting pac.

Do you know why fighters are guaranteed a certain amount?
It's all based on projections.

Floyd was guaranteed 41.5 against Canelo because they projected the fight could do 1.5 or so.

The 40 million offer to Pac was based off of a projection. PPV money is in that offer.

In that case.....they would do what Bob is doing. Offer 6 million + PPV on the back end.

It's called a buyout.
40 million was a buyout offer.

Now if you do the math you would know that a 40 million offer for a fight which was projected to sell 2 million or so PPV's was fair.

I just don't see where people are getting this 100 million per fighter.
that money is not there and was never there. Not even at the fights peak.

Oscar made 60 mill in the Floyd fight after PPV revenue was tallied. Oscar was the A side of the promotion. Oscar was the promoter of the event.

Floyd offering Manny 40 mil was a reasonable fight purse guarantee.

Floyd Mayweather vs Oscar De La Hoya is the biggest selling fight of all time.

People are being delusional because they have an agenda.

Yeah your'e right bro.....

Floyd was scared *****less after watching a guy he toyed with in Marquez put your boy Manny to bed.

I agree about legacy but....Floyd will go to the HOF without Pac on his resume.
Pac will go without Floyd on his resume.

Both fighters feel they don't need each other

Sure...but one guy keeps saying the fight could be made tomorrow and the other comes up with excuse after excuse why he won't fight the other guy.
Floyd never wanted to fight Manny when he was destroyed Cotto,Oscar, and. Hatton. I don't know why he wouldn't want the fight now that Manny is clearly on the decline but who knows what he thinks. He left countless millions on the table.

He was scared way before that bro...
Manny would have blown him up in 2009-2010. Now he's ripe for the Mayweather cherry pick.

[money4100]

You keep talking about buys. If it's all about buys then.....May/Delahoya 2.4 million......May/canelo 2.2 million.

Those two fights alone kill anyPPV number Pac has ever had with any opponent.

It's not about just the PPV numbers. It's also about how much each fighter makes per purse.

If they are equals then tell me why does Floyd make significantly more than Manny?

I was talking about about a 40mln$ offer that Floyd made back in January 2012 so fight with Canelo is not to be taken into the consideration. In the Delahoya fight everyone knows who was a draw and it definetely wasn't Floyd.

Also if back then Pac deserved only 40 then right now he deserves 20-30. Of course that's not the truth. The truth is that Floyd made back then another roadblock to prevent this fight from happenning.

And btw you're no boxing fan if you're saying that this fight is unnecesary.
