Comments Thread For: Arum: I Don't Think Mayweather Ever Fights Pacquiao

[Bigg Rigg]

Pacroid doesn't even deserve 30%, more like a flat rate of 1.5mil since he's been fighting rematch after rematch. Then getting KTFO only to come back and fight a lesser weight guy like Rios only makes his worth very little. The guy hasn't fought a quality opponent in years. Whereas in Floyd's case he's at least fighting guys that have a chance at an upset......

$1.5 for Pacroid and Floyd "Juice" I mean Joy Mayweather makes $100 million in all. Let's get it done!

ppv sales actual and projected:

Floyd v. Maidana i = 850k ppvs

floyd v. Maidana ii = less than 850k ppvs

projections:

Floyd v. Amir khan = 600k ppvs

floyd v. Thurman = 600k ppvs

floyd v. Molina = 550k ppvs

floyd v. Pacquiao = 2million + ppvs

still make sense for floyd to duck pacquiao?

lmfao!!!!!

So, I guess the "secret" talks about HBO/SHO regarding the Mayweather v Pacqauio fight was BS. You gotta love Arum. On one hand he says they can fight twice in 2015 and on the other hand he says it's not going to ever happen. Lol.

So much for Manny saying negotioans were on underway. Lol.

Have they broken ground on that new stadium yet?

Has floyd signed a contract yet? That shoulder roll doesn't work as well on a southpaw. Everything is ass backwards. Everyone knows floyd has problems with lefties. Then you add speed, power and footwork. Think about your health floyd.

[radiotracer]

You say this while you use his name and the lies about negotiations with Floyd as part of hyping up Pacquiao's fight. The ****ing snake. Again, he only does it when Pac needs the hype for an upcoming fight. Magically, the rest of the time the "talks with Floyd" are non-existent.

this is why people call floyd a duck. He wants no part of this fight. TBE. LOL.

[Deevel916]

Floyd Sr went on record to say the same thing about Floyd facing southpaws and how he doesn't like it for his son.

Isn't this an old interview

It is. I thought I was the only one.

Although the documents do not disclose revenue also generated from pay-per-view upside, it's extremely doubtful that Pacquiao is getting significantly more than Mayweather in that department, especially considering that they both do similar numbers and in Pacquiao's case, Top Rank retains 27.5%. While I personally believe the subject of a 50/50 split is irrelevant, mainly because Bob Arum was never interested in staging the fight on May 5 to begin with, given those numbers, it's understandable why Mayweather might allegedly inform Pacquiao that a $40 million guarantee would be significantly more money than he's been currently making.

So did it make sense to turn down $40 million? If he won the first fight, as you think he would've, he could have been the "A-Side" for the rematch, and got a better deal (Although Manny says he's still the A-Side when negotiating with Marquez, even after Marquez KO'd him).

ALL THIS CRAZY MONEY!,MONEY WE CAN'T EVEN DREAM OF,AND ALL THIS"HE MAKES MORE THAN THE OTHER GUY",BUT IT'LL ALL BE GONE...THEY'RE BOXERS...CAN'T HOLD ON TO MONEY....SOOOO SAAAAD!

[bigjavi973]

If Floyd won't fight southpaws then what were Ortiz and Guerrero? Are they not southpaws? Arum is so full of Sugar Honey Iced Tea

Pacquiao is better than ortiz and guerrero. Get real.

[bigjavi973]

Cotto knew how to make the fight, what is Pac's problem? Such a waste.

Next up for Pac, another in house fighter who doesn't even fight at 147.... smh

Nobody outside of the ignorant Tards believe what Bob has to has say.

And name the fighters pacquiao could fight at 147 lbs?

Who "retired" and who kept fighting top opposition??? That tells you who the a side was in the early negotiations.
