Comments Thread For: Mayweather: All The Pacquiao Stories Are Totally False

So what's "Plan B?" Walk away from the fight...exactly. Obviously Floyd can make his money without Manny, but the same can't be said about Manny. Manny could've fought Cotto @ 154, but he didn't. Manny could've fought Canelo @ 152, but he didn't. I like Manny, but Arum is a snake, as I pointed out so many times today. Arum did not deliver a "Plan B." He didn't bring Manny the money that Haymon and Schaeffer got Floyd. Do you believe Manny gonna make more money this year than Floyd? In the end, "if it ain't about dollars then it doesn't make sense."

Instead of Floyd's 29m, Pac took 26m for Marquez, a MUCH more reasonable deal. Of course his value dropped since getting KOed.

It's amazing how these idiots have been convinced that a $40m flat fee was a great offer

Floyd could literally offer Pacquaio a happy meal and you'd find the same idiots in here trying to justify it.

Because nobody takes a 3% raise for the biggest money fight of all time. This is super obvious man.

You didn't really answer the question. You said the offer was shocking based on Manny's stature. But the offer is in line with his stature.

If you think Manny deserves more, you can have that opinion. Just don't over exaggerate something like "stature" when the numbers show his "stature" was properly respected.

Arum never claimed he never talked Mayweather and his team. He talked to high level HBO and CBS executives to get rid of the showtme/HBO barrier.

Who cares???????????????????????? Manny's net worth is $100million dollars and Floyd's is $280million dollars. Who will go down as an ATG? Manny Pacman Pacquiao. Floyd is just a mere HOF'mer because he chose to be. You have to take risks to be great. He doesn't have balls and these are facts! Just look at this rematch on Saturday. He won the first fight 7-5. 115-113. WHY fight Maidana again when this isn't what you do? Because he knows Maidana cannot fight any better!!!!!!!!!!!! He is stalling until his contract is up. He's too rich for his own good, man. He's a true coward.

Your argument is weak because what risks did Manny take that Floyd didn't? He fought Margarito after Mosely stopped him...is that it? Floyd took a risk fighting Cotto @ 154, and Canelo @ 152. He fought Oscar @ 154. He beat Hatton and Mosely before Manny. Just look at their last 5 opponents. You can't criticize Maidana (Who had the WBA WW Title) then go fight Chris Algeri.

Instead of Floyd's $40 million. If you broke it down to 29 after expenses, you need to break down the $26 million too.

So you're saying Floyd should a took 32m to fight Pac, in line with his stature? What was his then high, 40m? So why did he pass on Arums 50m? That's a much bigger bump

And why did Floyd ask for 20m for the Oscar fight back then? Wasn't his career high many times lower?

while I think Floyd very easily could have and should have made manny a more fair offer, Had he not refused the 1st deal, this offer wouldn't need to be made. The offer is unfair but Manny put himself in this position.

I don't think there has ever been a situation where a very reasonable and fair deal was refused and the subsequent offer was better.

Floyd seems to be trying to make up for money he feels he "lost" in the ODH fight and make Manny pay for refusing the 1st fight. At this point let it go, throw him some ppv revenue, and make manny decide if he wants to fight or refuse yet again,
