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

[ThePrince]

The most financially lucrative fight in boxing history is to be promoted by one of the fighter's shell of a promotional company, which the fighter himself has never trusted to a promote one of his own fights?

The unsuitability of MP is really not a hard idea to grasp.

What is easier to grasp is the subtext of Floyd's proposal. He's trolling.

Step 1) Couldn't promote a Chino Maidana rematch, forced to crawl back to Oscar.
Step 2) Going to promote the most lucrative fight ever.
Step 3) ???????
Step 4) Profit

Formula checks out

It's simple. They couldn't agree on drug testing terms, and he had a very tight window to make a fight before his first congressional run. So they got the Clottey fight done ASAP, and then after his political campaign were ready to revisit drug testing terms, which sent Floyd on a lengthy low key vacation.

So Pacquaio ducked the fight Thanks.

No 40m wasn't fair. Maybe in the eyes of those who plaster their walls in TMT posters.

The fight was a 200m+ fight. The reason it was worth that much was because Pacquiao was his opponent. Understand now? Can't make it any clearer than that. If your opponent helps you turn a typical 50m dollar ppv into a 200m+ blockbuster, you don't get to low ball the opponent. Hes helping you hit those huge numbers

They are acting as if floyd is the only one thats gonna bring the money. 1st pacquiao had to take a test. Even though hes never failed a drug test and has never been accused of such things. The only ones accusing him of peds is the mayweathers. Then the 40 mil bs offer. Then he had to leave bob arum. Which makes no sense timeline wise cuz floyd WAS willing to work with him on two previous negotiations (ped testing/60-40) but when pacquiao agreed to them thats when he had to leave arum. And I dont wanna hear the cotto had to leave arum bs, floyd ducked him at 147 lbs. Then pacquiao has to sign to tmt and get a couple of fights in. Now the two networks want the fight and yet another demand. Why oh why would it matter to floyd what the networks are doing? If FMP is the lead, doesnt that mean they pay the refs, the judges, everything? Hhhhmmm

Yes, it will be spearheaded by them. Perhaps they have the capital to do it. Maybe they outsource it to GBP or elsewhere. But they will spearhead. Unfortunately that means Uncle Bob won't eat. But everyone else will. That won't bother you...right?

It's this same attitude that made Manny walk away from 50-50. Well then keep supporting it. Each time negotiations come around his position gets worse and worse. Can't wait to see how they'll promote Pacquiao-Alvarado next year. I'm already psyched.

[HeroBando]

Me neither. Look at how dumb that looks four years later. And the same people that were clapping and cheering then are now like, "waaahhh why do you wanna bring up the past?" LMAO

We're bringing it up because you guys continue to support this crap. $40m is ridiculous on what planet? How's that working out for Money Manny? Bet it sounded real good when he stared groggily at the screen as Max Kellerman showed him just how he came out on the wrong end of the KO of the century.

Anyone who seriously believes this fight will happen on anyone's terms now but Mayweather's is missing a few screws. Like they missed what happened over the past four years. Like I said in another thread, Mayweather's comeuppance may be just around the corner but the KO blow he delivered to some of these fans has left them still unconscious and delusional.

How many times do you need to be told thicko. Pac doesn't see the 40m, Arum gets a major chunk for getting cut out of the promotion. Taking a 12% bump over what he made for Bradley is a non starter.

You sound upset, like someone that just realized his favorite fighter is a duck, like others have been saying for years.

[Mayabang]

I'm still laughing at the "Elephant in the room" comment. LOL damn that's embarrassing!

[HeroBando]

I'm sure that's what you were after with your aw shucks question. Sure, Pac is to blame for that one falling through, and then Floyd is to blame for going on vacation months later when Pac agreed to terms and HBO pres mediating, and setting roadblocks ever since: no Arum, comical flat fee offers, Pac sign with TMT etc

There is no maybe about it. GBP will be asked to do it, like they have done every single of his fights for years. The fact that he offers up the bogus shell of a company that is Mayweather Promotions tells us how serious he is about it.

Incidentally, Mayweather also said Pac needs to sign with Mayweather Promotions too. Another bizarro request.

Oh boy, that Manny Pac sure is ducking Mayweather Promotions.

Ok so GBP does it. Everyone eats but Bob. You're fine with that...right?
