Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao Must Be SHO PPV, FMP Promoting

[megadeth]

As I posted. No one is saying Pacquiao is the bigger draw, but Mayweather isn't that much more of a draw that Pacquiao must submit to every single demand.

Why would Pacquiao accept 40 million flat fee, for a fight that at the time was expected to generate 300 million?

I agree! Pac didn't bother negotiating.

Why did Pacquiao have to give in to testing demands that no other Mayweather opponent up into that point had to give in to?

I guess the same reason Rios had to give testing demands that Pac never asked of any other fighter. Or the reason that Floyd had to accept 10 mil per lb weight penalty that no other Pac opponent had to up to that point.

Why does Pacquiao have to leave Arum and sign with Mayweather Promotions, when neither Canelo, Ortiz, nor Maidana did?

I don't believe he will require this either, just talk. But where was the outrage when Bradley, Mosely and JMM had to do it. Were you guys calling it roadblocks then? How about some consistency here!

Why does Pacquiao have to avenge his loss to Marquez, but Maidana didn't have to avenge anything to Alexander?

I don't think he does, Floyd is talking more garbage.
You ever ask yourself these questions, or are you too busy making the next excuse.

Mayweather ain't calling ****.

Showtime who pay his ass and HBO evidently want the fight.

All he can do is duck.

Oh yeah that's right. I remember when they "forced" him to fight Canelo.

[JJRod]

He doesn't have to do ****. Big fights await. Can't wait for the next one in Macau.

You wanna challenge the A-side? Or keep making excuses as to why you can't?

50-50 was unfair.

$40m was too.

This as well? Great. Carry on then.

50/50 was fair. What wasn't fair was asking him to do things no other Mayweather opponent up into that points was being asked to do.

40 Million flat fee was extremely unfair, and you know it. Especially when it was predicted that at the time the fight would generate close to 300 million dollars.

Again I ask. Why does Pacquiao have to leave Arum? He didn't ask the same from Canelo? Why only Pacquiao?

Again no one is saying that Pacquiao doesn't have to submit to some demands because he's fighting the A side. But lets not get carried away. Pacquiao isn't an unknown scrub, no matter how much you try to downplay his accomplishments and popularity. He doesn't have to submit to every ****** demand Mayweather makes.

You know this, as much as everyone else in here. You're just to proud to admit it.

Why do you think it is that Showtime is all of a sudden putting pressure on Floyd to fight an HBO fighter and they announced they will no longer be releasing PPV buy figures?

I wonder how thrilled Show/CBS execs are over the prospect of paying Floyd another $32 mil guaranteed to fight Keith Thurman or Kell Brook. Devon Alexander maybe?

this pretty much...there's no need for Showtime to bring up a HBO fighter since they have all that 'talent' at WW..

the massive checks + disappointing numbers = unhappy execs

the big wigs are tryin to salvage that massive deal by at least getting another ppv that hits more than a million

[joesaiditstrue]

If they agreed, great. If not, what's Pacquiao going to do? Those are some great prospects he's got lined up after Algieri.

The reality is, he turned down 50-50.

Then after Mayweather proved to be a bigger draw by outdoing Pac's personal best twice, he turned down $40m.

Then he got KTFO.

The reality is, after all that, he's in no position to demand anything. The reality is, most of you folks don't live in reality when it comes to this fight. So yeah, keep whining.

Here's the fact since you seem interested in facts

The only fighter that the fans want to see Floyd face over anybody else is Pacquiao. Over thurman, bradley, khan, etc. Making demands to Pacquiao like he's Robert Guerrero is laughable.

Please stop bringing up past failed negotiations. It doesn't help your silly argument and has no bearing on these two fighters current situations

Stay mad that everybody considers Floyd the ducker here not manny.

"He has to sign to MP and drop HBO.

yeah Floyd wants the fight

Lmao

I dont understand why Mannys fans are so much about getting Pac the best deal even when it means no fight will happen , Manny has had the best deal offer he will ever get and ran away , he is the miner b side and Floyd is the major A side , Manny has no right to demand anything .

Just cut your BS and accept the offer Manny , stop mouthing off you will accept anything and want the fight more than anything , well accept the dam offer and fight .

Ariza is a glorified personal gym trainer who just wants attention.

Please explain why he would lie about his employer who he has a good relationship with for a guy he barely knows? Come on now? Really sounds like another excuse!

Drug testing was fair. That corny excuse about how it was unprecedented is lame. The $10m penalty was unprecedented Floyd agreed. Womp womp.

Sorry folks, $40m was fair too for the B-side. Very. How much do you really think Pac was going to make anyway? Exactly.

He's been KTFO and Mayweather has outsold his personal best FOUR times. He's in no position to demand anything. But when he does, his lil fans will excuse him. Enjoy.

50-50 turned down. Floyd is ducking.

$40m turned down. Floyd is ducking.

Today. Floyd is ducking.

Enjoy the Algieri fight. Can't wait for Alvarado after. That's gonna be big.

[Grimmer]

It's up to Floyd. No matter who you think is ducking who, if Floyd retires without facing Pacquaio it will riddle all conversations and questions about his legacy with the inevitable question, "Why didn't he fight Pacquaio?". He won't be able to have a single interview in the future without it being mentioned. Every article, every message board post about his achievements will always lay mention to the fact that he didn't fight Pacquaio. Irrespective of how much of a great he's regarded.

If that doesn't bother him now, it most definitely will in 10+ years from now.
