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

Yeah, exactly. Why ask if someone cares so much...when you're discussing it? Clearly you care too. Like I said, just let it go. I'm not trying to blame you for anything. After all, I didn't start PMS'ing in the midst of a debate to ask "why do you care?"

Let's try this one more time... If you didn't care enough to not reply, I would have never acknowledged you, thus all this would be avoided. But since you care so much to defend Showtime you had to go and make yourself look bad for no reason. Why not just say "Why are you even talking to me man?" My answer would be "'Cause... you talked to me first?" That's about all I care, hope this whole conversation did something for your ego lol.

I'm focused on reality. Stop acting like Mayweather needs Pacquiao because that's the only way he'll get 2.5m buys when Pacquiao needs Mayweather just to hit 1.5. Mayweather's done that what, four times? Who needs who? Wake up.

pacquiao cares about ppv buys like floydie does? Thats news to me!

Coming from a coward like Floyd this really means nothing. Everybody knows that Floyd wont take a fight that he knows he can loose. Floyd talks alot of bullsh^T but when was the last time he fought a top pound for pound in his prime.

Why are you whining so much? In the midst of the debate, you asked me why do I care? Well...I care as much as you, the guy who raised the issue before I spoke on it. Let it go.

But Manny should not offer fair compensation to a guy (Marquez) who has 1 draw and 1 KO in 4 fights with him? Manny better go get some of the dance partners Floyd has been getting. According to you and so many others here, he should be able to do the same or better. Guererro, Canelo, and Maidana are all available, and looking for dance partners right now:

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.

You forgot to include the numbers of the opponents of each fighter and how much are they making. Didn't rios and bradley get more than maidana??

I don't know. And I didn't write that either. But reading what's not there is normal for posters like you.

[kingzapata02]

What's even more pathetic than this excuse is the people going to great lengths to defend it. I'm reading some of these posts and it's repulsive. Just because one man is a petrified liar, doesn't mean you have to defend this type of behavior.

This is bar none, Mayweather hitting an all time low in this saga with Pacquiao.

I feel the same way, mayweather can't even lie to himself now

Actually... the guy I replied to (not you) brought up the issue lol. But you wouldn't know that since you came in mid-conversation defensive from the start. Using the same guy on the street conversation, you heard someone say "Mom" and came running like Marlon Wayans from Don't be a Menance.

Good news is it's no longer a long wait. He's got 7-8 months left. I don't know how you'll defend a permanent duck if you're one of his defenders.

[bigjavi973]

You're giving Floyd way too much credit, 700k of those buys were Canelo PPV fights where Floyd didn't even get a cut.

True but I was only calculating floyds ppv numbers from guerrero and on. They are literally giving him HALF of the money they make from ppv buys. Thats not including ppv % or anything, thats just his guarranteed money. I dont see how they are making any profit from it.
