Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao is Broke, Desperate For Payday!

[jso416]

Facebook and MS just made $2 billion purchases. Let's say you worked at Oculus or help make Minecraft and you only got $100 million. That's great but if you were 50% responsible wouldn't you be expecting $1 billion?

The first time around it was a fair offer, but the $40 million offer was complete crap and you know it. That fight does 3 million buys at $100 a piece. After the cables company get a cut that leaves $150 million to go around and Manny gets 30% of that while Floyd takes 70% that's a BS offer.

Also... why does Floyd hate Arum all of a sudden? I mean, the fight was close to being made the first time all these people are saying, Arum was promoting Manny then. Why is it not an issue? Floyd never wanted the fight even back then, had Manny agreed to testing then it would have been the Arum excuse 5 years ago instead of 1 or 2.

Another great post.

It is interesting that there is so much chatter around this, if it was like any other situation it would be easy to say where there is smoke there is fire. Can't say that here though.


That is kind of what happens when you talk smack though the person you are talking smack to tends to respond and kick it up a couple notches.

MONEY may is right look at mannys last 3 ppv I think he's averaging 2 million pay-per-view look at Floyd Mayweather last 4 fights he is averaging 5 million pay-per-viewit's all a profit from here for showtime

Well, I do agree with the sentiment that Pacquiao shouldn't of re-signed with Arum if he REALLY wanted the Floyd fight as well.

I remember feeling that way when he re-signed.

He should of done what Cotto did.

You do make a good point, as usual, which is why I replied to you here.

Thanks. At this point, I think all eyes should be on Manny Pacquiao. And he should pressure his promoter. I mean, if you really want the Mayweather fight then you need to make sure your promoter isn't an impediment...right?

As for Floyd, it's pretty clear he doesn't give a ****. He's not a message board poster like us beholden to this fight lol. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Either way he'll continue to get paid and waste his money on effeminate boots. He's tried, REED. He offered 50-50 and got turned down over testing. Ok fine. Then when he offered $40m it was too little. Ok fine. Well guess what? Since then, Pacquiao's lost twice and been relegated to fighting in some corner of the world twice. So now? Yeah, either we promote it or **** off. What sayeth you, Emmanuel?

Guerreros, Maidanas, and Ortiz PPV numbers were high as **** right?

they weren't asking for 40-50% of the revenue

[JJRod]

I guess Guetrero and Maidana and Baldomir and Ortiz and all the other C class fighters weren't broke and looking for a payday. Only Pac who had made more money than all those guys put together.

The coward strikes again.

Exactly. Just another lame excuse.

Floyd won't work with Arum, but yet... the first time they were negotiating he was working with Arum. What happened between now and then because Floyd was working for Oscar at the time.

Arum compared him to Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels. When the fight could've been made in 2012, Arum took Manny to a plastic surgeon who was dating his step daughter and got Manny 35 stitches for a cut from his fight with JMM 2 months prior, claiming Manny couldn't fight in May after claiming he could when Arum thought Floyd would be in jail in May.
working with ODH, not for ODH.

lol smart ass! lol-all kidding aside,i did enjoy the first maidaina fight!

Bim my man, you're cool, but I know you hate Mayweather to death. Like you told me, boxing will still go on, and it will without this fight. Calling out Floyd with disrespect will NOT work. It only invites him to respond in a similar fashion. Question(s) for you, in all seriousness, why isn't Manny fighting Marquez? Is it hypocritical to say Marquez is "ducking" Pacquiao because he wants "50/50," or "$20 Million," and Marquez has 1 draw and 1 KO in 4 fights, yet Manny wanted 50/50 and more than $40 million from the P4P #1 fighter in the sport?

[torosboxing75]

pac calls him out,floyd spews nonsense..couldn't have just said..yeah!,lets fight then!sad thing is his yes men are the only ones who think he's witty...it's embarrassing !!

The reason I say contradiction is because Floyd claims he wanted the fight and made several offers that Manny refused and therefore "Manny must not really want to fight me. HE only mentions my name to help promote his fights"
But now he comes out on his twitter saying Pac only wants the fight because he's broke. Witch one is it Floyd does he want the fight or not.

The sad truth is those offers were made to be refused. Floyd is very scared of Pacquiao. Why else would MR Money refuse to get in the ring and make more money then any other two of his fights combined IMO. With a guy he claims got beat in all the Marquez fights, "a guy I had no problems with"

You can bounce too.

When you come back, be respectful.

Nobody was talking to you, or cussing at you.
